Jebel Jais Wadi Hike and Climbing – RAK
So far this hike in wadi Jabal Jais was my most difficult in the UAE ‘coz we did most of climbing in rocks. Total elevation was 900 metres, there was rock scrambling and rugged terrain. We didn’t did the round trip because we ended too late and so in the end at the road we walked and did hitched hike for few minutes.

You can join any hikes in the UAE paid/free. Usually, most hiking events are posted on meetup app and few on facebook – you can search it there. I am a member of few groups in meetup but not an admin so I cannot add you. First, you will have a meetup account – find groups you like, then request to join.
Have fun hiking in the UAE!
