Take-off description
Just next to the road that crosses Beida village ang goes East to the pass.
Getting there
From Wadi Moussa, go to little petra (10km north of Wadi Moussa) and turn right (instead of right to little Petra) to cross Beida village. The take off will be on your left after a little climb and some turnings.
Weather
Strong breeze, be careful if it get stronger during the day not to get caught in too strong wind.
Comments
This little take off has three advantages compared to top of the mountain : - easy to drive to : no bad trail - wind 'protected' : while on top you can be exposed to strong wind due to summit acceleration, this lower take off may be more protected - rather good and clean place to lay your wing This beeing said, if the conditions are not there, you will do just a very short flight.
