Itinerary description
This time, we did a night hike...
We started the hike by 12:00 AM, when we reached the summit, we had a wonderful sunrise view, such a beauty!!! Even though it's not winter, we didn't expect it would be so freezing cold in the night...
This trail is a moderate but challenging with long walk, lose rocks and some bouldering as well.

hi jisna jb
Nice and difficult route
The real name of the wadi you went down is Wādī Hiyaylah https://ae.geoview.info/wadi_hiyaylah,291890
There are quite old references to that wadi, since it even appears in the maps of J. Walker, from 1959.
In the most modern maps, updated in 1970, it already appears very clear.
It is a wadi that in its upper part forks into several arms.
The Wadi Haqab, if it exists under that name, is possibly a smaller wadi, lying to the south of the Wādī Hiyaylah (between the Wādī Qada'ah and the Wādī Hiyaylah), also flowing into the Wādī Al-Bayḥ / Wadi Bih, a few meters further south from the mouth of the Wādī Hiyaylah, and which rises precisely on the southern slope of Jabal Haqab.
Regarding the name of the villages:
I have been trying for a long time to know why some hikers call the villages of Ra's and Magam, Hebs Village (village of the Hebrews). I haven't managed to figure it out yet. Perhaps at some point a group of Hebrews lived in those villages, but that is not their historical or geographical name.
The first village you passed through is Ra's, and the second Magam (they are very close together).
In some very modern maps the name of Yinas also appears, but that is a mistake, since Yinas is much further south, in a very different area.
A big hug
