A long but very beautiful hike which takes us from the Samail Gap to the high plateau of Jebel Akhdar. We first follow the wadi bed sometimes on the falaj, sometimes bouldering. We then have a long quite steep ascent on a good path with great views until we reach a high village. Scenery is great with impressive vertical cliffs.

- Walking time : 6 to 7 hours
We set up our camp not far from a village, at an height of 1900m.
Individual camping tentWe start from a beautiful high village where walnuts and pomogranate are grown. We walk up to a narrow Pass which gives access to the valley on the northern side. From there we hike down with panoramic views over the valley looking like an amphitheater. We finally reach the village, and we cross the green terraces mainly planted with apricots and peaches.

A nice Guesthouse, very well located at the entrance of the village, and with superb view over the valley
Standard RoomA nice hike, not too much difficult, except in one steep place, offering us great views over the north flank of the Western Hajar. We start at a village located at 1400m above sea level, where apricots and peaches do particularly well, and reach an upper village located at 2200m, where main grown trees are pomogranates and wallnuts.
