If you are coming in Sedan, you can park in the side of the E87 main road, where the dirt road to a small hill begins. (About 100m fat from the trail starting point)
Coordinates for the sedan parking: 25.54118036930318, 56.160695244764845
If you have 4X4, you can drive small hill on the dirt road, then you will end up in large open space. You can park the vehicle there.
Hiking path:
Form the large open space, you can see, two paths. One on left and one on right.
You can start from the left side, do the loop and come back from the right side.
In this way, you will reach the actual sulphur wadi part within first 1km itself, so if you feel tired, you can go back same route easily
Sulphur wadi part is nice with clean water path/pools with fish, beautiful flowers and its just the very beginning of hike.
So even if you can come with the small kids to enjoy this part.
Beyond sulphur water path, wadi trail continues in the dry area. Trail is well marked with yellow arrow marks and some place with some stones.
There is no particular peek to climb, mainly you will be hiking through the narrow passage in the wadi which will gradually ascending.
After halfway, you will come across small dam also. Then the descending begins. After some time you will reach to dirt road, where it going through surrounded by some small farm houses.
You will pass some small portion of sulphur wadi in this part also. And then you will reach to the a large open space where we begins the hike.
Trail is not difficult. You will see the network coverage in parking area and in the beginning and end of the trail, but not fully covered in the middle.
We were planning to start by 6, but started late, around 7.30 and ended up around 11.30.
Being a summer day, its hot at the end, so if you are going in summer, better to start early and make sure to carry enough water.
