Don’t miss the Wadi Tiwi Tour - We as a family had a wonderful day tour to Wadi Tiwi. The way through the mountains up to the village was stunning with great views and the road with a 4W no problem. The abseiling was both well instructed and secured. The way through the river to the pond was great in this beautiful nature and also our 15 yrs old daughter loved it. We truly recommend our guide Saif, as he is very respectful and never got tired of answering all our questions ;)
