Tranquility in Al Hora
Reconnect with nature and recenter yourself in this peaceful and well-preserved Wadi. As you walk along the trail, the crunch of loose rocks underfoot accompany your every step. Lush vegetation and running freshwater ponds break up the earthy surroundings creating ideal resting points, perfect for taking an open-air lunch break, cooling off, and spotting fish, toads, and dragonflies.
Al Hora is a great trek for beginners, with only a minimal amount of bouldering and upward inclines.
