Itinerary description
My wife and I decided to hike up W4 trail of Jebel Shams to celebrate my 53rd birthday.
My friends Sumeet and Rejo joined us too.
This is my 5th time on W4 trail, but it was the first time for my wife.
She did well on the hike.
Please note that the public summit of Shams is at 2996 Mtrs, and we managed to reach 2875 meters elevation and then decided to take it at leisure and enjoy the birthday.
The trail is well marked and visible.
All required details for the complete W4hike until the 2996 mtrs summit are posted on my another previous hike trail recording as below. Please refer to that post.

Great Hike
This is a great hike..Did it with Patrick, Magie and Sumeet to celebrate Patrick's 53 birthday...It does get a bit longish so suggest starting as early as possibly to have enough time to finish it at an enjoyable pace...
Great insights shared by Grand Master Patrick during the hike.....
Thank you Rejo for your review, I am glad that you enjoyed this hike and our company !
Indeed, its a good trail, to be enjoyed safely to the fullest.
