Trip highlights

 

  Stunning views of the Hajar range, Jebel Jais and wadis

  Pass by a traditional mountain farm with panoramic views

  A great workout with some 100m vertical stairs

  Marvel in the incredibly green hidden oasis, walk through bush as high as your knees

The Hidden Oasis hike is a super enjoyable activity with stunning scenery which is incredibly green when in full bloom during the winter season.

This is our favourite spot in UAE, which is accessible only by hiking - for approximately 3 hours. Well worth it!

The starting point will be from the top of Jebel Jais road. We will then go down a trail, passing a farm, then continuing down some steep mountain steps until reaching the hidden oasis.

The total hike will take around 6 hours depending on group pace and including breaks. As there are steep steps, some may find this challenging coming back up. Make sure you take around 6L of water and sun protection.

Trekking poles and appropriate hiking footwear with ankle support and strong soles are highly recommended. Please make sure to follow 'what to bring' section for this hike. Should you have any concerns or questions, please get in touch.

Hikers with not appropriate footwear (trainers) will be turned away.
