A Quince-Picking and Jam-Making Adventure in the Mountains.(هنجمع سفرجل من الجبل و نعمل مربي)
A delightful weekend out in nature, combining the beauty of the mountains with the sweetness of quince fruit.
We will enjoy fresh air, local flora while keeping an eye out for quince trees. These beautiful trees often grow in rocky, sun-drenched areas. We will pick ripe quince fruits, which are typically golden-yellow and have a fragrant aroma.
Once we've collected enough quince fruits, we will head back to our accommodation to prepare quince jam.
This is an easy level hike, suitable for beginners. Basic physical fitness level is required.
For those who are interested, we will manage to summit Gabal Abbas. Others, will stay, as planned, to make jam with bedweins.
Date: Thursday 24 October 06:00 pm to Saturday 26 October 11:00 pm.
