Event Description
Ready to explore one of Fujairah’s newly opened mountain trails? Discover Far Far, a scenic loop through rocky passages, traditional mountain villages, and farm landscapes tucked among the Hajar Mountains. Enjoy panoramic views, rugged terrain, and a sense of discovery as you explore a new side of Fujairah.
Please note: This trail is not recommended for people with a fear of heights.
Far Far follows a loop route through the Hajar Mountains, with rocky passages, uneven terrain, and sections that require careful footing. As a newly opened trail in Fujairah, it offers an opportunity to explore the mountain landscape up close.
The trail is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset, when the changing light brings out the colours and textures of the surrounding mountains. Be prepared for exposed sections and take extra care on rocky ground.
Please note: This trail is not recommended for people with a fear of heights.
