The one-minute primer on riding in Wadi Degla:

1. Here is how to get there and basic info on the trail.
2. Start riding no later than 7:30 a.m.  in the summer  to escape the worst of the heat. You can get away with later ride start times in the fall/winter.
3. This is a desert area, so even in pleasant weather always make sure that you are properly hydrated. Don’t go riding with less than 2 liters of water.
