The route
starts in magnificent basalt canyon, on the upper reaches of
Wadi El Hidan. Elongate pools are abundant and you often swim
more than you walk. As you descend along the canyon the black
basalt gives way to red sandstone. This is where a majestic
waterfall awaits you, leading into a gorge with palm trees, hot
and cold springs, and a rich variety of colors. Thereafter, the
canyon widens and dense vegetation makes progress difficult.
Within a few hours you reach the lower gorge of Wadi El Hidan: a
water amusement park with endless slides and jumps. |
