Beginner hike

This is a beginner hike and we will be walking through a Dam to reach an old fort, which was built over 200 years ago. Set amidst a panoramic vista of date palms and mountains, the place is a paradise for photographers. Although not very big in size, its wind towers offer a magnificent view of the surrounding area.
We will also be stopping at a natural water stream as well as Petroglyph from Thousands of Years ago with carvings from ancient human beings.
