Wadi Haqeel Hidden Village Exploration
An easy walk to explore the hidden village situated between the mountain face of the Al Rams coastal line and the inner mountain face of Jebel Jais. During cooler months this valley blossoms with flowers and carpets of green grass due to the big amount of rainfall. The trail takes us through a dry canyon, leading to a hidden old settlement that is sure to leave you in awe. We will have a gentle hike in the valley, exploring old settlements as we push inwards towards our tea break spot. Take a step back in time and experience how the older mountain tribes of Ras Al Khaimah used to live within these rocky mountain walls.
