Great hike; yet can get confusing as some arrows are mis guiding

But for this time we take the right turn, to the labor camp and back next time we will take the left turn and finish what we started

Its very good for beginners. Around 6.5kms of hiking. Need to be careful though. Few places are tough and steep. Especially when getting down.

Easy hiking trial, most of the area have proper tracking, good n easy to burn your calories, surrounded by mountains, quite n eye catching ambiance, dam gives amazing view, most of the time that dam is dry as its catches only rain water.

Nice trail. Looks well prepared.

Very good, well maintained trail.

Its a medium sized dam, in terms of UAE. Nice setting for some good pictures. There is a hiking trail that starts behind the dam through the Northern side of Jebel Jais mountains. Right now during SEP-NOV period the reservoir is completely dry and one can even drive around in the sand bed. After the rains fill up da dam, the scenery becomes much better.

Its difficult trail 20 km loop, not recommended for beginners...

Best hikes in UAE. Gorgeous landscapes.

Wadi Galilah is a wonderful place in Ras al Khaimah...calm and peace place to visit in this pandemic situation

It is for confirmed hikers as the first 6km going up are all at approx. 200m of elevation gain per km. So nice, but you need to be fit!

Way to the mountain hiking.

A CLEAN AIR NOT LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE.

Spectacular views and a real sense of accomplishment for those who manage to make the 3+ hour hike up to the top!

If I want to do this in reverse, where should I park on top?

This trail takes you to Jebel Jais. Only about 2000feet/420meter up (maybe 1.4miles/2.3km of trail hiking) you get to a nice vista by all the rock-cabin structures.The full hike to the top of the mountain is 4.6 miles / 7.5 km and 5,100ft / 1600meter elevation gain.
