What our guides do for you on this hike specifically:

• On this route especially, the value of experienced guidance becomes very clear as you watch the dangerous and risky moves performed by the many crowds around you without them.

• Your guide identifies the safest routes up and down rocky and exposed sections, gives you clear coaching so you can complete difficult moves safely, avoids unsafe physical assistance that can increase risk on technical terrain and manages pacing, timing, and group energy throughout the hike, and adjusts the experience based on hikers’ abilities and conditions

Rainbow Valley sits in the heart of Fujairah’s eastern mountain zone. hikers begin a walk into a canyon sculpted in dramatic bands of red, ochre, white and black sandstone—creating a natural rainbow effect across the rock layers

Trail Description: approximately 7 km round trip, with 150–250 m of climbing over about 3 hours at a gentle pace due to the amount of scrambling required which takes longer. Most of the route follows the wadi floor, with boulder-hopping and light scrambling required. The signature highlight is the richly colored cliff walls—alternating rock bands that seem painted and give a magical scene that is a joy on a weekend morning!

Trek Level - Intermediate. Lots of bouldering, exposure to heights and some uphill at the beginning that people without good fitness may struggle with. Scrambling also requires whole body effort. Good fitness is essential.
