Itinerary description
Difficulty Level:
If you have never been hiking in these mountains before, I highly recommend to start with one of other hikes rated "medium" that I shared on wikiloc.
This hike requires good fitness and good balance.
Rated "difficult" because of some of the passages where we needed to climb obstacles of 2-3m. The rest of the hike is of easy-moderate technical difficulty.
Dead End Hike:
We got stuck at some point shortly after the Wadi split into two directions. We tried the first one and had to face a vertical obstacle of about 10m (Waypoint Photo 3). We then came back to try the second direction and faced another obstacle was a bit too risky (4m or so).
What's Next:
If you have an experienced climber with a rope it'd be very easy to go over. Looking both on Google Map's Satellite layer and on a Topographical Map it seems like the Wadi carries on for about the same length (1.5km).
Safety:
Wear hiking or running shoes.
Bring at least 1.5L of water per person.
Bring some snacks (bananas, dates, etc).
Feel free to pick up the trash if you come across any _/\_

Here we got stuck as the Wadi had a steep vertical obstacle of 10m or so. Definitely too dangerous.
