Pools of Wadi Al Milh | AFT Hike & Swim Series

💦 NEW: Hike & Swim Series! After the rains, the mountain pools are full – rare moments you don’t want to miss. Trails, hidden waterfalls…and yes, some splashes are guaranteed. Bring a change of clothes (we’re not just talking about your socks 😅).

This is one of the beginners friendly hiking trails located in Fujairah, offering spectacular views while walking through a riverbed. This wadi, is known for its dramatic landscapes, and the hike takes you through some small but beautiful seasonal fresh water pools.

INTERMEDIATE 5/10 level hike is suitable for anyone with average fitness. Although the hike will get you a good workout but this level does not include any technical terrain or exposed parts to climb. The attendees must be able to carry up to 6kg pack for the duration of the event.

! Suitable for kids aged 14+ and those who enjoy exploring unmarked terrain and feel confident on loose rocks – and don’t mind getting their feet (and maybe a bit more 😅) wet!
