Kholaiban Dam Hike - Ajman - UAE

Please keep in mind that I am a leisurely hiker who is connected to nature and wild places; I do take breaks to admire sights and natural things on my journey to the peak.

Masfoot is one of those places I go back to again and again. Lying on plains between rugged mountains, it has beautiful views, lots of fresh, clean air and a relaxed pace of life! It has many parks, several dams, a walkway, camping areas, a fort and museum, hiking and mountain bike trails and more.

Places around: Masfout Castle and Museum, Al Boma Fort, Masfoot Walk, Masfout Oasis, Bin Sultan Mosque, Parks in Masfout, Masfout Camping Huts and Al Jazer Dam Park, Kholaiban Dam, Swir Rest Area, Masfoot Dam,
