Event description
Wadi Ghalila is a fantastic and challenging hiking destination for moderate hiker.
Great viewpoints, this all-rounder also offers an abundance of opportunities to get up to elevation for rewarding hiking. Ras Al Khaimah's impressive Jais Mountains views the sea and the port, showing their many colors and formations at the hight of 600 meters and that’s around half way to the top of Jabel Jais (the highest mountain in UAE).
The route takes us through Wadi Ghalila to the hidden oasis half way to the top of Jabel Jais. The views from the top are stunning. Ascending will take place at some points on a man-made rocky stair. On the way to the top, we will pass by the heritage village and many other villages and farms on the way.
