Wadi Bih (Part 1)

Part1: Wadi Wurrayah
Part2: Dibba Al Hisn

Date: 16 May 2009

After a good night's sleep,
we enjoyed eggs, breads and coffee in the hotel
We also walked along the beach for a while
and then check out from the hotel
headed into the Wadi and mountains
The route (Off-road In The Emirates)

On the flat gravel track now
Along the way we spotted
some ruins old settlement built of stone
Dwelling built from stone,
using part of the mountainside as a wall
Head straight up Wadi Khab A'Shamis
another old stone house
Some goats standing on rocky ledge


We reached the dramatic part of the route - rocky road
We stopped many times for a "Kodak" moment
Spectacular Scenery


The wadi gets narrower as we proceed
until there's space for only one vehicle.
The high vertical rocky walls of the wadi are
imposing and narrow passageway filters the
midday sun, creating a unique atmosphere
House on top of the hill
Passed the narrow gorge and a helipad
the track gradually veers from north to west
and the mountain start levelling off, allowing long
and uninterrupted views of the distant peaks.
Again we stop for some drink & "kodak" moment.

The locals under the tree
View of a plateau above
We were at a height of 663m and at the start of the zigzag
pass that will takes us out of Wadi Khab A'Shamis
to be continue....
