After reaching the bee plant (photo7)(this is not the plant name, we named it because it has bees) have a look on your right side when you see the cairns (rocks on top of each others) at this point you’ll need to climb up to the right side, then slide to the left while going up to the top of the mountain (Photo 8)

If you kept going on the way missing (photo 8) area you’ll reach this point which a big rock (photo 9) is blocking the way, it’s highly recommended not to try to go under, or scrambled rocks around it, better to go back

If you decided to go back to Dahab through El-Byda Valley, climb the mountain on your left and follow the cairns, it should take you as a zigzag while climbing, first back to the left, then right, and then left again (photo 21)

After getting down from the mountain, continue the rest of the valley, passing by the dogs house on your right side until reaching Dahab from the back fire station.
