Wadi Shawka

Wadi Shawka

The seasonal channel among the Hajar Mountains is famous for its reservoir and trails for walking and biking. The valley contains old settlements and agricultural plots, and a recreation area is provided near the dam.

Wadi water depends on rainfall; this is not a year-round boat trip.
