Event description
Wadi Naqab is a fantastic off-road destination for a bit of everything. A classic (if rather short) wadi-bashing experience with different levels of challenge, great camping spots and viewpoints, this all-rounder also offers an abundance of opportunities to get up to elevation for rewarding hiking. Ras Al Khaimah's impressive Hajar Mountains lean from Wadi Naqab towards the sea, showing their many colours and formations.
The route takes us through Wadi Naqab to the higher plateau of the mountain where villagers grow crops and raise goats. The views from the top are stunning. Ascending will take place at some points on a man-made rocky stair. On the way to the top, we will pass by a bat cave that is big enough to hold us all for a group photo and a little exploration.
