This area is situated below the Wadi-Degla Visitor's center. It is a short channel of hard limestone walls that vary in heights between three and eight meters.

Description
Access issues
Paid
They will ask you to pay access to the Protectorate. Sometimes the front gate to the visitor's center is locked shut, however I have found no issues in parking before the gate and walking in on foot.
Approach
5-10 min
The canyon is highly visible from the heights of the Visitor's Center. Follow the most logical path downwards, avoid running as some slopes lead to short cliff drops. There is usually a clear path on the rightmost slope designated by previously traveled steps.
Where to stay
N/A
Ethic
As with any other area in Wadi Degla, it is your responsibility to respect the natural environment and be as attentive to your impact on it as you climb and walk through it. Do not remove plant life and do your best to collect garbage and promote cleanliness.
