Hey all,
I’m going camping this weekend with 5-6 cars (all 4×4 and experienced off roaders) and I have a few ideas where to go but wanted some fellow DO advice on locations. It’s going to be quite family orientated…
I want a good Wadi with waterfalls etc to go for a swim and near a desert for camping and some off roading, quite happy to drive 2-3hrs to reach the location
Thanks!

Wild Wadi has few pretty gud waterfalls 😉 😉
The closest wadi for swimming is Showka. I was just there yesterday and the pools are full. You can cliff jump but no waterfall. Fossil Rock desert area just down the road.
Wadi Shis/Chees & Wadi Maidaq are probably flowing now but I cannot guarantee.
Wadi Madbah has waterfall and will most likely be full (this has desert close by too).
Wadi Damm definitely has copious amounts of water as would snake gorge and the chains (these are more than 2-3 hours away though)
Enjoy your trip and happy exploring!!!

Wadi Damm is excellent. I have been canyoning there. You can walk around or swim and trek. It has everything. End to end is around 3 to 5 hours walking swimming etc depending on abilities.
Can you send the GPS location?
