Itinerary description
Starting from Jebel Shams Resort, ending at the camping spot 2800m before the summit 2 km far. I had to return before sunset. Planning time is a must especially for shorter daylight. Hiking on such a difficult terrain on dark is risky.
The official start near Sama Heights Resort, 4 km far from Jebel Shams Resort. Better to arrange transfer from and to the officsl start.
The terrain is too difficult. No comfortable path, keep eye on 3-colour signs. Trekking boat with ankle support needed.
Take water as much as you can.
Exposed to the sun all path.
Not suitable for kids and nonfit adults.
