Safety notes

Flash floods: never enter a wadi when rain is forecast anywhere in the catchment, even under a clear sky. Water rises fast and there is often no quick way out.
Pools can be deep and cold with slippery rock. Wear shoes you can swim in and keep valuables in a dry bag.
Dress modestly on the approach through villages; swimwear only at the pools themselves.
