Join us for a thrilling and unforgettable experience as we celebrate the UAE’s National Day with a Scavenger Hunt Hike in the heart of nature. This exciting outdoor event combines the joy of hiking with the fun of a scavenger hunt, offering participants the chance to explore the beautiful landscapes of the UAE while learning about the country’s rich heritage and culture.

Along the hike, you’ll receive information on the flora & fauna and about life in the Hajar mountains.

This special 🇦🇪 National Day adventure is suitable for Beginners level hikers that have love for wilderness and nature.
NOT suitable for kids under 5 years or anyone scared of walking on loose rocks.
