Al Wabhah 火山口 - 麦加省

Hiking lover must visit, if anyone wants to go down please take enough water. Avoid hiking when it is too hot and sunny day. And never try to go alone there. There is one guard (person from Pakistan) is very friendly guy and very helpful.

Awesome place to visit. View point is available to have a view of this beautiful crater. You can go down to click pics but mind your foot, the small stones are slippery. Make sure to wear a good shoe. Localites say it's not volcanic crater, but formed by s falling meteor.

The location is awesome for taking photos, spending few hours or camping, but you should bring your needs with you cos no any services out there, no toilets, no water, nothing available.. You can go there by normal sedan car, no need for SUV

It takes a person 45–60 minutes to go to the bottom of the crater. This crater is very slippery and it is hard for people to come up to the surface. To climb back up takes approx 60–90 minutes. There is some mobile phone signal within the crater, and the site receives very few visitors, even over weekends. As of April 2017, there has been upgrades to the park. A stone wall has been erected about 1/4 to 1/3 of the crater rim from the northwest to southwest. There is a mosque at the end of the entrance road. There are also upgraded picnic shelters around the rim.

A must visit in your lifetime. This is a volcanic crater, about 820ft deep, that white patch you see at the bottom is sodium phosphate. A big NO on taking kids here. No to aged people as well. If you have breathing issues No. you must be perfectly healthy to do this trek. We visited in the month of June, which is summer. We started early morning at 3am from Taif. Reached by 6am. We started climbing down by 6.30 and reached at the bottom at 7.30. By 8am we started climbing back and reached at the top by 9. Well climbing back was difficult as at the bottom there is really less oxygen and you have to breath heavy. Based on my experience reach there early morning be by 5 and start trekking. Remember there is no shops are houses around for any assistance or medical help. So carry lots of water.
