Itinerary description
It is an easy hike to Baqal caves or Wadi Nahela caves. The route is mostly flat in the wadi. The caves are not deep at all.
After reaching the caves at P-05 we decided to gain some elevation and hiked the wadi next to it. It is optional but the view was good from the top P-08. This part is for beginner+ hikers who already got some experience since the slope has some loose rocks. So you can just go back the same way after reaching the caves if you do not want to get to the top.
Parking.
Parking location is just next to the Nahela dam 25.670370, 56.047255. Last 5 minutes You will drive on a good quality dirt road, so you can come by a sedan car.
Must-have gear:
1) High-cut hiking shoes
2) 2-3 liters of water
3) Sun protective clothing
