Wid Village Adventure

Two days. One night in the mountains. A journey towards a hidden village.

Deep within Jabal Ibrahim in Bani Malek , Wid Village lies hidden among mountain terrain, old settlements, caves, natural formations, and trails connected to the lives of local communities for generations.

This adventure takes you beyond the usual routes to explore a place where nature, heritage, and local stories come together over two days and one night.

The experience begins with an off-road journey through the mountains towards the campsite. Adventurers establish their tents, prepare their equipment, and receive an adventure and safety briefing before enjoying a traditional dinner beneath the mountain sky.

The following morning begins with breakfast and equipment preparation, followed by a four-wheel-drive exploration of Jabal Ibrahim and an approximately two-kilometre hike towards historic Wid Village.

The route passes old houses, narrow pathways, caves, rock formations, and distinctive natural features, including the formations locally known as the Shamarikh of Jabal Ibrahim.
