Wadi Al Abyad & Wakan Village private tour

About the Wadi Al Abyad & Wakan Village tour

Wadi Al Abyad — the “white wadi” — is named for the pale minerals that colour its pools a milky blue. Walk between the pools and swim where the water is deep enough.

Wakan sits high above Wadi Mistal, with a path winding up through terraces of apricots, grapes and pomegranates to a viewpoint over the valley.
