We loved soaking in the natural hot springs after wandering through the historic fort, where we marveled at the impressive architecture.

Our adventure through the region was a delightful journey filled with unexpected surprises. One of the most memorable moments was wandering through the ancient corridors of Nakhal Fort, where we could almost hear the echoes of history come alive. The natural hot springs were an absolute treat, providing a perfect respite from the heat after a long hike in the Wadi Abyadh. We did encounter a bit of a wait at the springs, which slightly dampened the experience, but the stunning landscape made it worthwhile. Overall, this day was a fantastic mix of culture, relaxation, and exploration with great friends.

Exploring the stunning wadi and the charming village was an unexpected highlight during our day; the natural hot springs were refreshing and a welcome break. While the fort offered great views, we felt a bit rushed at times, which took away from the overall experience.
