This Trail can be considered as Beginner Plus during Winter.
But to be considered as Moderate due to weather and humidity effect that tires the person while hiking steep up and down.
This Trail is newly laid in Khorfakkan, next to Rafisah Dam area.
Start point of the trail from the Dam Walk.
You can park cars and start the hike from this point. Search on google maps for "Al Raafisah Dam Walk"

The trail is well laid most of the areas.
The trail finally reaches the Al Suhub Rest House that was inaugurated by HH Ruler of Sharjah Sheikh Sultan in 2021.
The Top elevation is 580 meters. Total elevation gain is about 500 meters.
The views from the top are impressive of Arabian Sea, Khorfakkan city, Rabi tower trail and Khorfakkan port.
While ascending the first half of the trail, you have impressive views of Rafisah Dam with lots of water activities in the Lake.
I suggest, please hike up the first half section at least to enjoy the Raafisah dam view, if not all the way to the summit.
Take usual care of Water, hydration, electrolytes and snacks.
The first half section is good without Hiking poles, but the second half Hiking poles are must due to steep descent and loose pebble type stones on the trail.
Hiking Shoes are MUST.

Very clear instructions, as there was places we could have taken a detour.
Also thank you for forwarding us about the section just before reaching Suhub, hard going up, scary going down!!!
All in all, a lovely hike and I’d definitely do this again
