The Arabian Staircase is best known among the climbing community, as it meanders along one of the most famous sport climbing sectors in El Chorro: Las Frontales. It is also part of the most common itinerary to climb Huma Peak. The place is spectacular, and as you go up, the rock walls are left on the right and a beautiful view of the reservoirs on the left.

You should walk up the Arabic Steps instead of doing the round the other way around. Then you can enjoy the view and don't have to concentrate so much on the path!
