More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens on a coastal plain and within an hour the road climbs into the Fifa (Fayfa) Mountains, where terraced farms step down from cliffs and clouds sometimes hug the ridgelines. Travelers find themselves at narrow viewpoints where wind pushes at their jacket and the valley below seems to breathe; photographers and quiet observers both find space to work.
