Wadi Climbing offers excellent rock climbing facilities, and April provides the last opportunity of the season to get involved as it only runs from October to April. The area has numerous sport routes available for climbers ranging from novices to experts, and roping areas. Permits to go rock climbing in the area can be obtained from Desert Divers, who also offer accommodation, diving, free-diving and camel safari excursions. Alternatively, good B&B accommodation is available near to Desert Divers at Dive Urge.
