Today is for Humans and their Dogs!
Tucked between Hatta and Showka are the rolling hills of Wadi Munaie only reached by walking through a rocky wadi and then coming to a flat plateau which is home to families of wild donkeys.
This is great beginner trek of 2.5 hours and 7.5 KM which will be adjusted for the level of the group depending on fitness and comfort levels. Variety of trail types, from rocky to flat making it a great ‘sampler’ hike for all levels especially those new to UAE terrain.

The trail will be as long or as short as the group can manage. We will walk on a bit of road, a little on trails, but easy for kids to manage. The trails are not hilly and easy to walk on. Along the way, our guides will teach you about the flora, fauna and mountains, and give you lots of guidance in learning to become an independent hiker.
We will pass through some local farms on the flat section before we loop around the smaller hills then visit the ancient village and the mountain ridge.
This hike is a favorite for beginners and offers a great bonding opportunity for families. It is a chance to experience hiking and the mountains without worrying about footing or their fitness.
Enjoy the walk along the ridge of two foothills and the unobstructed view of the Hatta Mountain Range while playing. The Hatta mountains are a unique part of the UAE, very different from other mountains.

Our educational guide who will take you through the trails and teach you about the wonder around you.

The terrain, like most terrain in UAE mountains, is rocky with small rocks and some sandy road sections. For the rocky sections, we recommend dog shoes if you can find them!
We do not have an emergency out on this hike, so you will need to be checking your dog to make sure they are doing ok, and they will need to walk back on their own.
