Al Dahir Hiking Trails — Attraction in Fujairah Emirate

Wadi Dahir (Wadi Sulfur) is located in Fujairah, not far from Dibba. It’s a moderate level family friendly hike with the attraction of some beautiful sulfur pools and caves. It’s an 8km loop trail winding through mountains, hills and valleys. It will take you about 4 to 5h to complete, taking time for photos and lunch. I personally loved this trail.

You can park your car (Sedan accessible) about 150 meters just off the highway (literally!) (25.541830, 56.160513). I started the trail from the left side of the parking (you will see a farm on your right). It will take you to the wadi and very soon to the gorgeous water pools and there amazing colors.

After the first km, the wadi is almost dry (in rainy season you can expect more water content). You can just walk for another 1km and come back if you are looking for an easy hike (total 4-5km), or proceed to do the full loop which will be 8+ km.

The train is well marked with cairns and some arrow marks at some points. At 6.2 km, the wadi is going to the right side but you have to deviate from it and go straight up instead (25.555580, 56.156951). After walking about 700m, you pass a beautiful small lake formed by a dam with trees coming out of the water. Walk over the dam (25.553033, 56.159257) and go down. You will see some stairs. This road will lead you to the starting point. There are some sulfur pools also towards the end of the trail. Many people come by car at the bride point to take a picture (25.541830, 56.160513).

All together it is a beautiful loop, and I would highly...

This is one of the most beautiful hiking tail in UAE.

Length - 8.5 km Time Required - 4 to 5 hours Route Type - Loop Difficulty Level - Easy to Moderate.

No doubt this one of the most beautiful hiking trail in UAE. You know why because you don't just see the mountains but also running water.

The google pin correct. When you take exit, follow the route and you will reach to the parking lot. The trail is in loop. So can you go from right as well as left. Better you start from left (when you face mountain go to left). Because it is easy to find trail that way. As you go to left, you will find trail. It goes from the water ponds, you will find lots of running water. You may feel that it is dead end. But no, just go through the way from the wild grass and you will see the trail water will small small stone tower. Thanks to Fujairah Adventure who did this marking. Be careful as in way you will find a dip water pond. You need to cross that, and follow the small store tower markings.

Go through the river bed. You will find breathtaking mountain views, water ponds, small fishes, frogs and water snakes also. Go on and you will reach the same parking lot...

We went looking for adventure and found the perfect spot at Fujairah Adventure Al Dhahir Hiking Trails! This hiking experience was nothing short of amazing. The trail offered a mix of challenges and breathtaking scenery that made every step worth it.

We covered 8 kilometers in 5 hours, navigating up mountains, down hills, across rocky paths, and even through beautiful water ponds. The diverse terrain kept the hike exciting and rewarding, offering stunning views and a sense of accomplishment with every incline.

It’s definitely a challenging trail, requiring some stamina and careful footing, but it’s perfect for those who enjoy a bit of adventure. The combination of rugged landscapes and serene natural beauty was incredible. The water ponds along the way added a refreshing touch to the journey and made for some great photo opportunities.

If you’re up for a hike that pushes you while rewarding you with unforgettable views, this is the place to go. Just make sure to come prepared with good hiking shoes, plenty of water, and a sense of adventure.

Highly recommended for nature lovers and...
