Steep Gravel Road in the Hajar Mountains

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very steep gravel section on compact ground. Due to the steepness, most of the bike has to be pushed.

You can continue up here on a road bike, but be warned - it's bumpy! Go very slowly and carefully if you do not have wide tyres.

Big road climb! Great on a road bike, but essential if you want to visit the gravel towards the top.
