Event Description
Join us on a journey deep into the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah – wander through a hidden valley, explore ancient stone ruins, and marvel at dramatic rock formations, unique plants, and local wildlife along the way.
This trail lies deep in the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah, near the border with Oman’s Musandam Peninsula. We begin on a winding path that leads to a hidden valley, isolated from nearby villages. Along the way, we cross a vast field and pause at a water well, then continue to discover fascinating rock formations, diverse flora, and wildlife.
