Itinerary description
It's more of an easy hike but I chose the moderate option cuz at some point we started going really high on a steep path with slippery and loose rocks but if you don't want to do the steep part it's so easy and suitable for beginners and kids also.
The area during the winter is full of water.
4x4 is not required to reach to the starting point.

A little disappointed. We were unable to follow the route across the highway because of the need to climb over crash barriers. We assumed the access could be via the culvert leading under the road but this would entail climbing over a metre high wall. Too difficult.
Sorry for the bad experience.
Actually I passed by the area a couple of times after the hike and noticed some construction going at the side of the main road which could be the reason for the change in the trail.
Hi Guys. Is it possible to camp here? We would be about four or five families.
Hi
I am not sure if you can as it's all private farms around, plus it's always crowded since it's next to the main road and you won't feel comfortable. On the opposite side there is construction these days also.
Thanks Mahmoud. Much appreciated!
You're welcome
One more question. Have you been lately? Would you know if the pools are still full of water?
I've been there a month ago and there was plenty of water at the pools as well as the waterfalls on the opposite side of the road.
I would rather wait till the beginning of March since the forecast says that there is a big chance of rain, although I am sure that you will find water.
Suggestion.. If you wanna enjoy it.. try to go on a weekday and leave the place by 4PM cuz it will get soo crowded and many people will be in the water and around it.
Thanks Mahmoud. Really helpful. Much appreciated!
Anytime ☺️
