Adventure Tips
Prepare for high-altitude hiking
Jebel Mebrah stands at 1,505 meters; acclimatize and bring layered clothing to manage temperature changes.
Bring a headlamp for night hiking
Expect low light conditions when reaching the campsite as twilight falls early in the mountains.
Stay hydrated and use refill points
Water refill points are available but carry sufficient water as conditions are dry and steep ascents are strenuous.
Respect local cultural sites
Do not disturb ancient terraces or cave formations; these areas hold cultural significance.
