Safety notes

  • Flash floods: never enter a wadi when rain is forecast anywhere in the catchment, even under a clear sky. Water rises fast and there is often no quick way out.
  • Pools can be deep and cold with slippery rock. Wear shoes you can swim in and keep valuables in a dry bag.
  • Dress modestly on the approach through villages; swimwear only at the pools themselves.
