Jabal Shayban - Looking down on Wadi al-Deesah

 Standing at 2122 meters, Jabal Shayban is the tallest mountain in the al-Deesah area. This is where the black volcanic plateau dotted with conical hills meets the red sandstone area below. The plateau stands high above Wadi al-Deesah and a dramatic long cliff runs along its edge. Flat-topped Jabal Shayban is located right at this plateau edge, offering stunning views of the volcanic highland as well as the sandstone hills of Wadi al-Deesah. To the summit and back the walk takes about 4 hours. 

Friendly Bedouins camp in the Jabal Shayban area for a significant portion of the year when plants are available for their grazing animals.
