Itinerary description
Wadi Qor
About:
Wadi Qor (Arabic: وادي قور) is a seasonal watercourse in the Hajar Mountains of Ras Al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates. The wadi runs from the mountain village of Al Qor, near the Dubai exclave of Hatta, through the villages of Huwaylat, Rafaq and Al Nasla before crossing the Omani border and fanning out to the Batinah plain and the Gulf of Oman north of the Omani coastal village of Bu Baqarah.

Balade très agréable, calme absolu. On croise juste des ânes et des moutons. Ne pas y aller par temps pluvieux car on est la plupart du temps dans le lit du wadi.
