HAJAR MOUNTAIN - Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
The Hajar Mountains located at the east coast of the UAE.It is the tallest or the highest point in UAE with a height of 1527m / 5010ft. There the mountain slopes drop directly into the sea. This area is called the Ru'us Al-Jibal , literally the 'heads of the mountains.' The Ru'us Al-Jibal exposes the thick sequence of Mesozoic carbonates of the Arabian Platform which correlates with the main oil bearing strata that lie deeply buried to the west.
Placed in the varied crags of the Hajar Mountains, the Hatta Rock Pools give details of its rocky corridors with bursting waterfalls and turquoise pools. Venture through the narrow passageways to find spring-fed pools that are yet to be discovered. Only half an hour from the ancient village of Hatta, this oasis is a hidden treasure.
WADI BIH - Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
One of the UAE's largest and most lush wadis located in the Musandam Mountains and considered to be the 'Grand Canyon’. It takes 5 hours that includes driving in a 4x4 vehicle through streams and valleys to a height of 2,000 feet above sea-level, visiting local farms, old houses, mosques and ancient castles. Starting from the clock tower roundabout in Ras Al Khaimah, visitors can enjoy hiking mountain biking and camping in this area. There are lot of scenery close to Wadi Bih, such as deserted villages, other smaller wadi areas, the carved smooth face of the rock accompanied by a surprising amount of greenery, compliment majestic views of the great outdoors.
WADI ASIMAH - Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
A trip into the mountains along the lush, green Wadi Asimah is very popular in Ras al khaimah. A favorite mountain excursion today is along Wadi Asimah, near to Al Ghail on the edge of the desert area, below the Village of Asimah. Bright valleys, narrow canyon, abundant plantations and gardens, combine with wadi bashing at its best. The village of Asimah is striking lovely, clean and slow paced village. It’s so pleasing to see the children playing in the streets and old folks chatting under the shade of a tree or outside their homes. The landscape around Asimah is not just stunningly beautiful; it also bears evidence of ancient settlements.
