Wadi Quweiz – El Freish – Wadi Tilah (Wadi Itlah)
Another common way to the region is via Wadi Itlah, starting at St. Katherine town as Wadi Quweiz. It is a long and green valley, with many date palms, gardens and an Orthodox chapel, running towards distant lowlands. At the beginning there is the secluded basin of El Freish with an ancient garden. The short but spectacular canyon of Naqb Abu Sila at the lower end connects to a settlement and back to town.
