    Exploring the stunning landscapes of Wadi Nakhar and the majestic Jabal Shams was a breathtaking experience for our family. We particularly loved the guided hike, which allowed us to soak in the rich history while surrounded by breathtaking nature. The only downside was the drive could feel lengthy at times, but the views certainly made up for it.
