Itinerary description

Steep ascents and descents with a bit of scrambling involved. Lots of loose rocks. Did a Small detour to Wadi Razor(which would require ropes).
After that follow direction to Jebel Kiwi and go down the Wadi. Midway you need to find a gap in the cliff to go down (go left side).
Quite picturesque and may be some water in rainy season.

    Great trial! Kind of paradise for people who have a sense of adventure, loving breathtaking mountain landscapes and are fit in the same time ;).
    Thanks Ewa for your company! :)

    Are ropes required for this loop or is it just that diversion near the middle of the trail? Basically, I am interested in doing this but don’t have ropes, what would you recommend?

    Without the Wadi Razor detour how long would the entire loop take?

    Hi Ewajuz,
    If we follow this exact trail will we require ropes at any point?
    Are there narrow, steep passages?

    Hi Ewa,
    We followed your trail but extended it to reach Omani village of Bahar (towards Assasma)
    On our way back, didn't venture into Wadi Razor.
    Overall a good trail, elevation gain and great views from the summit.
    Thank you for the Trail.
