Wadi Ghuweir is close to
the Nature Reserve of Dana. The entrance is close to the
village of Mansura, not far from Shobuk and can be
reached in a normal car (with a bit of persuasion,
granted). The distance is 11kms and you should allow
about 7-8 hours for the descent which finishes close to
Feinan in Wadi Araba. It is possible to sleep in a
Bedouin camp around there, and perhaps continue in
climbing up to Dana itself.
A stream runs down the Wadi and you may well find your
feet in water. In the spring the pools may be deeper,
and it is possible you might have to swim for a few
meters.
The wadi is beautiful - at the top there are magnificent
formations and colors in the sandstone and lower down
spectacular hanging gardens of fern and palms. |
