Itinerary description

Started at 6:30am finished at 3:30pm. Hike was very challenging for me due to my leg cramps while ascending to the summit. But if you have done intense hike before, then surely this trail wouldn’t be that difficult for you to complete. The main challenge here is having fear of heights! If you are that person then you better think million times. I would strongly suggest not to do this hike alone. We are just lucky that we have someone who’s willing to hike again with us who have done the trail several times.

The view on top was really beautiful. Lovely trees with flowers on it. But be aware that you will be crossing the border of Oman and again enter UAE. Whole trail is pretty much expose so bring enough water with you.

Happy hiking and be safe!
