Rewarding summit

Intermediate Trek with a sustained uphill climb! Be ready for a cardio challenge!

Why intermediate? a sustained uphill climb with no easing in which means a cardio and endurance base, beginners without that strong cardio will be demotivated. That's worth knowing before you choose this hike over one better matched to where you are in your hiking journey.

The Experience:
The first hour is the test: a steady, uninterrupted uphill push that separates hikers who've built real endurance from those who haven't yet. It's precisely why we rate this trek intermediate rather than beginner. Reach the top and the reward is an outstanding summit view, the kind that makes you forget the climb the moment you're standing in it. The way down is a fun jaunt down switchbacks!

Meeting Location and time:

• Meeting Point is at Wadi Seham:

• Arrive at the meeting point by 5:45 AM

• Your guide will brief the group before the hike begins, including an honest check on fitness level given the uphill start.

• If you have not been honest with yourself, you will be with a guide, but will probably be making the walk back down rather than completing the hike.

• Hike starts at 6:00 AM to make the most of the cool morning air for the climb

Who Can Join

Choosing a hike that matches your current fitness, not your ambition, makes the difference between an enjoyable challenge and a miserable one.
