Hiking in wadi Mukheiris
by Kate Creswell
It was EXCELLENT in every way. Atef was very professional and inspired us with confidence. As we started the walk some soldiers on the hill said that we couldn't go up - but he very calmly and politely persuaded them. He knew the way through the boulders which was not always obvious to us. He was fantastic with the children - encouraging them but also safety conscious - telling them not to go ahead. He even carried my 7 year old over his shoulders like a fireman for the last few minutes because he seemed exhausted.

We loved Wadi Mukheiris - it was perfect for a family - especially that there was a wonderful destination to aim for - and also was uphill on the way (feeling fresh) and downhill on the way back (a bit tired). After the first part by the road (can you persuade the local government to remove the rubbish?) it was then clean which was nice. We saw crabs, frogs and tadpoles. No snakes. Our boys are 8, 7 and 4. It was perfect for our 8 and 7 year olds, and indeed our 4 year old managed completely fine (he loves walking and climbing) - but some 4 year olds might find it too hard. It took us 3 hours up, we spent about 45 mins at the waterfall, and 3 hours back down.

We would very much like to do more adventures like this.
