There is a good spot for bivouacking some 10kms from the beginning, but you must be ready to carry all necessary material with you Most people prefer to do the canyon in two separate days. It is easily divided into two: the upper reaches are in a gorge, often narrow and with ample water. No ropes are necessary, but wetsuits definitely are! The lower reaches are no more than an easy and pleasant walk beside – or sometimes in – a stream and among bushes, palm trees and often hanging gardens. Wadi al Hasa’ s rich nature will give you a magnificent trek if you decided to go all through it!.
