AL-KHUBTHA TRAIL

Allow 1.7 km and 2 to 3.5 hours with visits. Difficult.

This trail runs alongside the Royal Tombs for a flat, easy section, then dips to the right into the mountains. It begins with a long flight of steps. The path is stony and steep, requiring good footwear. Halfway up, admire the view of the amphitheater and the center of the ancient city. Once at the summit, the effort is worth it. The views over the Treasury are fantastic. Be careful not to get too close to the cliff, as there have been fatal accidents.
