Trek to Ras AlFeid

Wakeup early and after a good breakfast load up our equipment and set off on our day’s trek. Our route today takes us around several small hills before we head out across an open desert towards Wadi Barwaz at the foot of the mountains for lunch. After lunch and a brief rest we head south-west into the desert. We gradually descend into a region of small sand dunes in Wadi Araba. The views are awe-inspiring and we will have a true sense of the wonderful desert landscape. After lunch we will leave the sand dune desert behind us and head back into the mountains. First we have a gradual ascent across the desert to Abu Sakakin, lying at the foot of the mountains. From here we start a steeper ascent across small boulders and rocks to the foot of a steep and twisty track. This track takes us high into the mountains and provides a particularly challenging section! This is a remote but beautiful region with spectacular views west into the desert. We continue up to the high saddle from where we have good views into the heart of these stunning mountains then start our steep descent down to the river valley. Once down on the valley floor our route takes us through the beautiful Sakakin canyon before making camp above the river at Ras Al-Feid.
