Itinerary description

Beautiful hike up a Wadi (Valley) to a beautiful viewpoint and then down again to St. Paul's Monastery. We were dropped at the starting point by a 4x4 vehicle. The hike up the initial wadi is particularly beautiful with interesting geology and plant life (probably due to the rain the month before). An alternate option is doing the hike in reverse starting at St. Paul's Monastery up to the viewpoint and back.
