- The Spring and Waterfall: The reason everyone climbs the path. Water seeps from the rock into a clear pool beneath a small fall, shaded by palms. The sound alone is a relief after the dry approach.
- The Palm Grove: Date palms planted in terraces down the gorge, with fruit trees growing in their shade. It is a working garden, so you can see how the oasis layers its crops.
- The Ruined Old Village: Crumbling stone and mud-brick houses stand on the hillside above the gorge. The village was largely abandoned after heavy rains in 1969, and wandering the empty shells gives context to the green below.
- The Canyon Walk: A narrow track follows the gorge between rust-colored cliffs. Footing is loose in places, so it is slower than it looks, but you are rewarded with changing light on the rock.

- The Lookout over the Plain: From the upper rocks you see the flat desert and, on clear days, salt flats stretching toward the horizon. It is the best photo spot of the visit.
- The Souvenir Stalls: Local sellers set out desert roses, scarves and dates near the entrance. Bargain lightly and pay in dinars, and the dates are worth tasting.
