Wadi Koub Hike, Ras Al Khaimah

Wadi Koub is the most spectacular branch of wadi Naqab. The valley here becomes a narrow canyon, with walls as high as 400m, where sometimes you can touch the walls with the two hands open.

The trail follows some rocky ledges, sometimes elevated in the middle of the wall offering spectacular views on the whole wadi.

In paces it's not a precise trail but rather needs wondering around fallen boulders and a maze of little canyons, climing steel ladders and hanging ropes.
