Itinerary description

Leopard Canyon ( Wadi Al Nimr, RAK)

Moderate hike.
I think that the most challenging part was reaching to the village to start the hike because you definitely need 4x4 to reach there. We had 25 minutes off road drive from the main road.
The hike has nice scenery, amazing rock formation. It is a fun hike for a group especially as you can choose to walk through the trails on the left or right side from the wadi or to step on the stones through the wadi in the middle.
