The over the ridge trek is a longer version of the trek to the Farms, and a bit easier than the trek up to Hidden Oasis, which is not accessible now due to road closures

Overview: The iconic Wadi Shah traditional route over the ridge and back down the same way for a 5 hour hike that is just as incredible with the best views and a heart-pumping climb, scramble through the rocky wadi and return along a hair-raising cliffside.

Trail Description:
Bouldering for the first section, scrambling up a scree slope to reach the ridge and a steep slope to come back down, with more bouldering at the end.
