About the Event

One of our favorite wadi, which is so close to Dubai, only less than an hour away! Good training ground if you want to explore more mountains in UAE.

Great Panoramic spots. Hike through canyon and up the hills in a loop hike around the large water pools. Water should be at a good height for us to jump and splash and cool off during the hike!
