Overview of Rainbow Valley

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 coloured cliff walls—alternating rock bands that seem painted and give a magical scene that is a joy on a Friday morning!

Location & Car Access: 1 hour 45 minutes from Dubai. We will park on the side of the road with no off road access required.

Distance & Duration of the Hike: Approximately 7KM one way trail, with 260 of elevation gain over the entire trek, this will take about 2.5 hours to complete the circuit.

Running shoes are fine on this trail, but hiking boots are always recommended.
