Woh Village hike (Right bank)

Notes: The hike is easy to moderate, but may be difficult for small children and those with knee issues. The trail begins from the same starting point as "Stairway to Heaven". To reach the starting point, you need a 4WD or AWD, or a sedan with good ground clearance. Alternately, you can park near the Wadi Ghalilah trail starting point and walk the ~2km distance to this hike's starting point.

We begin the hike at 6:30am, with an intention to avoid the afternoon sun, during the descent. The hike begins with a gradual ascent with the typical terrain that is commonly observed on the RAK trails. It is a well laid trail, with crude cemented rock steps, indicating that this is a good picnic trail. There is no possible way for any hiker to be lost on this trail.

As the trail zigzags through the rocky mountain, you start gaining height at a consistent rate. Note that the elevation documented on this wikiloc trail is incorrect as this is a classic "inverted-v" shaped trail, with peak elevation at the Woh village (summit). There is no jagged trail at the peak elevation, as seen in this trail's graph.
When we started the hike, we did not encounter any fog, however, by the time we were approaching the summit, there was dense fog with low visibility. We reached the summit at a village, that we think was the Woh village, as there were signs of sparse human settlement. Given the low visibility, we stayed at this point (summit) and did not proceed further. The beautiful, cold weather made up for the lost panoramic views, amidst the dense fog.

During our descent, we crossed paths with multiple hikers and campers, clearly indicating that this is a famous hiking/camping spot. The descent was enjoyable and cheerful, given that the foggy and pleasant weather, had taken over the harsh afternoon sun. If you intend to soak up in RAK's beautiful natural scenery with minimal disturbance, then a early morning hike is strongly recommended.
