Sunrise Hike
Our night-time Ain Al Ghamour hike will take you through narrow canyons, rugged terrain, and twisted vegetation. Near the end of the loop, you will find a resting spot where you can watch a magnificent sunrise over the mountains and ocean.
Ain Al Ghamour is perfect for anyone confident in their skills and up for the challenge! This daring adventure is great for intermediate hikers as it is lengthy and requires both physical fitness and determination. Expect many ascents and descents as well as some scrambling. At the top of the first summit, be mindful of scorpions and saw-scaled vipers. As this trek occurs at night, you must be sure-footed as you step over loose rocks and vegetation.
