This trek includes transportation as its a one way trip. So, meeting point is Circle Mall JVC at 5:00 am.The bus will drop us off and pick us up at the Hayl Castle on the other side and take us home.
We will climb over the pass for an amazing view and then back down the wadi on the other side.
This is the off the beaten path trek, where you will be on the unmarked trails crossing over the mountain from Wadi Seham to reach the Hayl Castle. There are also rock petroglyphs all on an amazing well maintained trail and spectacular scenery. It is a great intermediate ‘loop’ trek with a 300 M ascent.
You’ll complete the trails, jump over a scree slope to connect to the Hayl Castle Loop and then come back for a full 12km and 4 hours trek.
