Shaq Al Reesh - Hiking Among Unique Rock Formations
Duration
4 hours
Overview
-
Sheq Al-Reesh is a stunning gorge in the centre of the Dana Nature Reserve. Hike through extraordinary landscapes (including a siq) and explore small archaeological sites. See juniper and wild pistachio trees, lavender and sage, and natural wells.
Though this trail is shorter than some others, it doesn’t fail to deliver in terms of interesting terrain. This is an area of unique limestone rock formations, which you can see from Dana, on the south side of the valley. Specifically Shaq Al Reesh means ‘crevice of feathers’, which refers to a large geological fissure of the limestone rocks, in which you will find many bird feathers - as it’s a natural habitat for many species in the Nature Reserve. The trail takes you over around and among the rocks, and you will be charmed by its unique character.
Our local guides are professionally trained, local, and members of the Dana Cooperative, choosing to hike with us helps support local community owned sustainable tourism.
