Itinerary description
This Is my first trekking to stairway to heaven, the way is little tricky, from the deviation of the route already have some way points follow the way points up to reach the last tree , there you have to take left and walk little bit then find the stairs on your right side .
Once you reach the stairs you have to be careful and check the stability of the stairs, go all the way up upto there is a small tree on the top rocks .
After you reaching the Oman village you see one T junction from there you have to hike straight and a small deviation to right then you reach the off road track and left you reach the summit (highest point ) , on the top you can see another village on the left side and a weather station.then return back to the track little go down a small wadi down and immediately incline then you move to the right side and cross the wadi .
After crossing you see the water storage area and walk beside them you can see the uae village.
Then all the way down by the stair , there is a marked path , you pass a pool and reach the down where you deviate .
NB:1 you need a 4x4 for reaching the starting point from the wadiGhalilah dam
2-4 liter water is mandatory
The map it shows is not correct because due to disconnect of GPS it read more , the total kilometer full loop is 19km , the wrong reading I marked in the picture
Map photo which one I attached marked red like a pistol is gps over read due to lack of GPS .don’t consider that
