The Twisted Maze
The Twisted Maze is one of the most technical canyon days we run in Saudi — a nine-hour combination of caving, hiking, canyoning, and swimming through terrain that asks for fitness, focus, and trust in your guide. Rope work is part of the route. So is scrambling, wading, and moving through tight sections where the canyon walls rise high above you. This is not a family trip, and it's not for anyone uncomfortable with heights, edges, or enclosed spaces. It's built for experienced adventurers who want a full day where the land takes over and the outside world quietly disappears. Fitness and previous canyoning experience strongly recommended.
Level: Difficult | Ages: 16+ | Duration: 10-12 hrs | Price: 776 SAR (including VAT)
Minimum 4 guests required This experience runs once at least 4 guests are confirmed. You’ll receive a confirmation once the minimum is met. If the minimum is not met, you’ll be offered an alternative date or a full refund.
