Wadi Shahdan, descending from the heights of Haroub’s mountains from a site known as Jua Shahdan, stretches for 80 kilometers and stands as one of the largest and most picturesque valleys in the area. Its enchanting natural beauty creates a landscape of lush greenery, dense seasonal wild plants, and green plains and forests lined with doum trees. The valley’s continuously flowing clear waters wind through rocky curves, accompanied by the constant sounds of birds, offering a delightful experience to all who visit.

The valley is also known for its rock formations and natural pools, which are formed by the flowing waters and remain clear throu
