Demanding Terrain: The hike involves scrambling and climbing on rocks, requiring good fitness levels and balance. It’s a challenging journey that tests even seasoned hikers.
Ideal Timing: We start early to catch the magic of sunrise within the wadi. This not only enhances the experience with spectacular light but also helps us avoid the heat of the sun, making the trek more enjoyable.
This hike is perfect for adventurers looking to push their limits while soaking in some of the most spectacular natural beauty the UAE has to offer. Prepare to be challenged, amazed, and inspired.
Wadi Kub is the Fujairah side of the hike, which has just as many interesting things as the other Wadi Koob in Rak. This is an intermediate hike, around 8KM with lots of geological features and interesting terrain with some hills, cliffs and rocky edges.
