Wadi Al Layat | Summer Hike Series
Event Date:
June 7, 2026
Event Time:
5:00 AM
Event Description
As the temperature rises across the UAE, most people head indoors – we head to the trails. AFT Adventures takes to the mountains before the city wakes up. Early starts, smaller groups, cooler air, and the kind of quiet you only find on a trail at sunrise.
These hikes are designed for those who want to stay active, stay connected, and stay trail-ready – whether you’re new to hiking or a returning AFT regular keeping your legs sharp before the main season begins in October.
