Itinerary description

Great hike, very picturesque : canyons, balcony walk, village on top with panoramic view.
Steep at the start, small section of climbing up at the end of leopard canyon, after that go to the right down the wadi and up to a village on right side at one point.

From the village you need to find the path down (further left from the building with the flag). We had lots of longer breaks, usually it takes approx 5h.
