Wadi Al Nakhr

We got the tip from our hotel host in Misfat al Abriyeen that it is worth checking the wadi out and he is absolutely right!! I mean if you have a 4WD and love a bit of adventure and off-roading, just got for it! Stunning view, on the drive to a village, then you hike for another 30min or so until you reach a water pool at the very end - attention though that the way is a bit difficult to find and also need some intermediate- advanced skills to hike & climb, so keep your eyes open and make sure you have the right shoes and experience. We met a local guy there as he got stuck in his 2WD so he rode with us and showed us the way which he climbed in sandals 😆 but only locals can do that…. Great experience and totally recommend

It’s very nice hiking in this place you should try. You will never forget this experience.

Interesting area just before the wadi. The ancient city ruins are an interesting site, but be careful whilst wandering inside it as some walls and houses look just on the verge of collapsing. From the city you can spot nice views over the green areas below

Fantastic hike!! We parked our 2wd a little bit further than this point and were a little surprised about the distance. There is an old village at 6km and after that its another 3km on a more hilly terrain and some climbing to reach the wadis (be sure to keep an eye out for the signs to find the right path). It was 18km+/- in total to get back. But it was totally worth it!!

The drive up the wadi is entertaining enough. We picked up a local carpet at the end of the road. It was lovely. Beyond that, a wonderful trail, including portions with a via ferrata, revel wonderful pools. .

Perfect for hiking lovers. There is a clean lake at the end where you can swim.

Fascinating old stone town. For me the best thing was the amazing watercourse that was built parallel to Wadi Ghul riverbed. No idea how old it is but it’s made from just mud and stone.

Our guide was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable and made our early morning trip to Jebel Shams truly unforgettable. He shared along the way and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Highly recommend!
