Overview:
Just 1 hour from Dubai, hike through the trails, hills and wadis of Showka. A great beginner experience as long as you climb the hill at the start for the first 30 minutes (nice and slow) its smooth, gradual and relatively flat so you can enjoy the great views of the mountains without the long drives with other treks.
Trail Description:
3 hours loop route, with a short hill at the start to avoid starting at the bottom which would require off road cars. The rest of the trail is gradual hills.
Location & Access:
Parking is readily available on a tarmac road no off road car required.
Distance & Duration:
2.5- 3 hours total, at a slow and easily attainable pace for first time hikers. Elevation gain max 75m
Highlights:
