Wadi Sena proves that hiking isn’t a daytime-only activity. As you ascend the main summit you will be able to examine the spectacular terrain features of the canyons and caves along the trail as the sun slowly sets behind you. At the top, you will climb over a large rock formation where you can hone your bouldering skills.
With the arrival of nightfall, there may be chances to even encounter some of the nocturnal animal life that inhabits this ecosystem. Expect some light bouldering as well as some chilly weather after sunset.
