Al-Khubtha Trail — Attraction in Maan

It’s a 3,5 km. long trail which takes around 3 hrs. You will see many breathtaking viewpoints on the way there. Beware! You have to climb many stone stairs leading up the trail.

On the way up we encountered a flock of goats led by shepherd dogs. We made a break at Rajash’s tent. He welcomed us with some sweet bedouin tea and explained us some facts about the bedouin life.

I suggest to go in the morning when the sun hits...
