The Experience:
Venture into the wild, rugged terrain of Wadi Taween on the way to Jebel Yibir (also known as Jebel Mebrah).This intermediate wadi hike is a favorite among adventure seekers for its rocky, trail and the caves hidden along the wadi walls.
The route begins near the base of the Jebel Yibir mountain, accessed via the village of Al Tawian, before dropping into the wadi itself. From here, the trail is largely unmarked as we make our way through the canyon via boulder hopping and light scrambling, following the twists of the wadi floor.
The trail forks a couple of times along the way, as we are surrounded by the dramatic backdrop of Jebel Yibir's peaks, this hike combines the raw beauty of a desert wadi with a genuine sense of discovery.
