Itinerary description
A nice cycle through a maze of wadis twisting and turning, some narrow, others KMs wide. Possible to hide the bike and do some wadi climbing or climb the peaks for great views. I labelled a valley the 'lost valley' - I half expected to see dinosaurs after a while.
Great place to explore and spend a few days. I didn't see a soul until I came to an abandoned house and well, after which there is a few KMs before exiting the wadi to cross the plain back to the car.
