Day 2:

In this 48 kms hike, we gained a total 3000 meters elevation overall within 2 days and succeeded in our mission in about total 20 walking hours.
We started our one way hike from Hayl al Shas village (near The View Hotel) at Al Hamra at 1400 meters elevation, descended down to Wadi Ghul at 700 meters elevation using less travelled old path (marked and visible in many places) and then connected to Wadi Ghul and Wadi Nakhur.
Then further hiked up by well marked W6a trail to Khityam village at 1900 meters elevation and stayed in a guest house on the Shams plateau for the night.
On day 2, we connected and walked using W4 standard trail hiking up all the way to Jebel Shams Summit of 2996 meters.
From the Summit, we descended back to Hayl al Shas village via W4b trail making this another one way trail but looping as a whole hike.
I have marked it as Difficult due to endurance and Stamina needed for this demanding hike.
Most of the hike is on visible marked trails with some unmarked stable areas.
There was no need of Scrambling, rock climbing or rope requirements.
The whole loop hike is recorded as below here on wikiloc.
