    Wasfi Al Tal Forest is absolutely stunning - a well maintained trail sweeping through hills covered by pine trees. Easy to reach from Amman (25 min drive). Parking space available at start of the trail.

    The end of the trail goes by/through farms. Lots and lots of barking dogs and local kids.

    Beautiful trail, back sections feel nice and remote. Front sections have a lot of rubbish unfortunately. Gorgeous views ...
