Overview of the Hidden Camel Trails;

Just an hour drive from Dubai and you reach the mountains! The backcountry hills of Showka have some hidden trails that are not often used which is why we love them! An easy trek over rocks and some trails for 2.5 hours. This trek is designed for people who are just starting their hiking journeys, slow pace and lots of time for photos and rest for hydration breaks. There are options to take more hills or less hills, depending on the group. We will take a very slow pace with lots of time to adjust to the heat. The plan is to gain less than 100m elevation gain and a maximum of 7KM over 2.5 hours, and keep everyone at an enjoyable pace.

Location & Car Access:
Just 1 hour from Dubai. We will park in the same parking lot as Showka Dam.

Distance & Duration of the Hike:
Approximately 7KM loop trail, with a maximum of 50 m of elevation gain over the entire trek, this will take about 2.5 hours to complete the circuit.

Highlights: We start going around the back of the mountain towards the dam and entering into the wadi. We will stop here for a nice break and snack. We will end doing the lesser walked part of the wadi and return on a different route back to the cars for a loop circuit avoiding too much elevation.

Hiking boots are always recommended but trail runners ok for this hike which is on excellent trails.
