O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Гребен Шеих пружа се 60 километара дуж обале Аденског залива, а његова највиша тачка достиже 2 500 метара. Ово је једино место у Сомалији где се могу видети прави клековине шуме и срести веома ретке антилопе дибатаг, које скакућу по стеновитим падинама.
Istaknuto: На висини од 2 000 метара облаци се хватају за обронке планина, стварајући илузију да идете право по небу између стабала древних клекова. Нека од ових стабала достижу 500 година старости, а њихово корење деценијама ураста у гранитне пукотине, буквално разбијајући камен.
Insajderski saveti
- Wear trekking boots and a windbreaker: at an altitude of 2 km the temperature drops to +10°C even in the dry season, and the wind cuts right through you.
- The best photo can be taken from the "Heavenly Gate" ledge 15 minutes before sunset. The sun lights up the junipers in orange.
- Do not waste time climbing to the very top of the ridge. The best views of the bay open up from the 1,800-meter mark.
- Bring 2 liters of water per person. There are no springs along the route, and the scorching sun on exposed sections can dehydrate you within an hour.
