Scaling Jabal Jais - South Side (FRI 29 Oct)

Looking for an exciting adventure where you can push your limits??!
We start off through “Wadi of The Giants” at 300m, bouldering our way to “The Ridge Walk”, then start scaling the wadi towards “Gates of Heaven” passing through several settlements with views that will leave you in Awe!


This hike will take you through this lesser-known South Side rather than the popular North Side of Jabal Jais.
This trip is not to be taken lightly. It requires high fitness and cardio. The bouldering part is challenging and a good understanding of this nature is required. However, this trip is not technical and no rope skills are involved. If you are sports-active, have good fitness, and want to challenge yourself then this trip is for you. The number of attendees is limited to a small group to keep a good pace.

The difficulty level of this hike is 7 out of 10.
No rope skills or technical gear is required. No water involved.
There is nothing technical about this hike.
The expected duration of the hike with minimal stops around is around 7 hours.
• Distance to cover 15km.
• Elevation Gain 1270m
• Max Hight 1570

This hike is one way, from the bottom of the wadi to the top of the mountain. At the top we will provide transportation to take you back to your cars parked at the bottom of the wadi.

Due to the logistic nature of this trip those leaving from Dubai/Abu Dhabi have to move early morning.
So before you sign up make sure you are able to wake up early for meeting time.

*Strictly no smoking on hikes.
