Such a calm and quiet island with breathtaking view!
Very good spot to enjoy sunrise and sunset.
Car needs to be parked down and then a walk of around 10 minutes will take you to this beautiful spot.
Off road vehicles can be taken directly to the spot.
Loved the ambience!

Must try the hiking, keep lots of water with u
Nice place to take a walk. Lots of things are available there. Restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, etc. There's plenty of things to do there; however, there is not enough public restrooms in certain areas or there is not enough directions to the nearby restrooms. I hope this can be improved.
Best and most accessible place for camping as well as public toilets are available at Love Lake Parking.
An ideal place for families to go for trekking on the mountains. It also has a great view of the city and the sea port. Cloudy days would be perfect time to visit the area.
Good and easy 2-3 hour walk with decent view. Ideal for groups with kids.
Yellow trail has sea view most of the length. Red trail is shorter but view is not great.

Ambient and picturesque trail, highly recommended for workout especially at the sunrise, somewhere between November and April. Free parking is at the roots of mountain, drinking water is desirable to have at least 1l per person, as well as proper garment.
If your a beginner in hiking ,try this place,the pathway is visible and easy to follow. Carry some snacks and water so that you can enjoy the views while having some snacks.
If you want to catch the sunrise be there by 6:30 am.
Carry a sunscreen just in case you feel you will take time to get down,and the sun becomes hot.

Nice hiking place for the beginner. Amazing horizons you can find there. I really enjoyed but I felt I am getting old since I was exhausted after reaching the top 😂
Mountain view
Al Quadra lake, one of the interesting place to visit, you can do the camping and barbecue over there, lots of mini lakes you can see flamingo and deers running free… must visit…
Great place for faimly gathering and office barbeque party very thing is perfect over their
Al Rabi hiking trail is one of the stunning view of the 9ceannand khor fakkan mountains as you enjoy towards peak of the Al rabi mountain. It's 5.3 km and elevation is around 395 meters. It has proper signages and rest areas. Don't forget the gear up with water and comfort clothes with sort shoe to get in to the Advanture. The trails made easier for the Public to reach the top. And don't worry about the washroom as in the start of the mountain you will find washroom and changing room which was well cleaned. With the the view by wave restaurant. It is guaranteed fun. Must try if you visit khor fakkan
This is the best hiking trail in UAE!!
Every time we go there you can see they did something more to improve your experience.
You'll have a nice view of the Khor Fakkan.
Kids above 6 can handle it.
During the prayers you will enjoy the sounds reaching the top of the mountain.
Great experience every time!

It's lovely place to chill and enjoy watching yatches and water
Still closed for rehabilitation
It's a lovely short hike that loops from the parking area in to the farms and back out . The return walk is along the road.
Good place to have a walk and everything is available tram access, restaurants everything. Have cup of coffee ☕ with marina view. It all depends upon the weather in which you visit this place. I went there in march, the weather was fine at that time, so i can say my experience was very good, to have a good experience please focus on weather forecast....
Best place to start your day!! Visit this place for sunrise !!
Very easy to arrive by car. Good place to walk and see the sunset. Got able to see goats around. Haven't seen any other animals around, but probably at night with light you will be able to spot wild life.
It was a best place .
The fresh water collecting system was designed to direct fresh rainfall that collects in underground wells in nearby mountaintops to communities and farmland that need the water.

The view from the top is beautiful, Need to wear a sports shoe while going up the trekking path is full of stones and there are some elevated slopes.
Best spot to relax, stay alone, rest from daily hussle and drama. Just stay there for 5 minutes, listen the waves crushing on shore/mountain coast, and smell of breeze/fresh water and sound of seaguls,waves.
Just a meditation with nature.
Enjoy my pin.

Instagram: @makram.radwan, The mountain top view point located in Khorfakkan, and there’s an ancient tower from the old civilization. After taking few shots of the khorfakkan views and the sea on the other side, you can hike up the mountain all the way to the UAE flag where you will witness astonishing views of the land, mountains, and the Gulf of Oman which is part of the Indian Ocean. Great place to hike, chill and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
At the end of a drive you can make with most SUVs, you'll be delighted to find a number of fun spots to camp at - from rocky hilltops to grove of trees in valley. Just be a bit careful while venturing out at night, you might run into some tiny scorpions.
Very nice trail, suitable for beginners. The path is very well indicated and in good condition. You can go to the first peak and then down and up to the second one, or surround the first peak and go to the second one directly. I took the shortcut to come back to the parking.
It a must visit place if you want to go hiking. The trail is laid out pretty well however if you love hiking take a deviation and get into the mountains and come down via the dried waterfall trail. Carry atleast 2 litres of water per person .
Best hiking trail in UAE.not too difficult and not too easy. Good for family weekend activity.
One of the must try hike in UAE , your complete body get tested through this hike , It will be tough for over weight people and if you have e around 3 hours time give a try. In winter it's must do activity if you are in Khorfakhan. View is amazing and worth to reach till the top.
I love this hiking trail
It is well maintained ,easy to follow
The only difficulty is its ascending all the way till the end

I loved it!! Went camping with Pathfinder Club. So peaceful and awesome sunrise. The up hill hike was a killer, but I'd go back again, but hike in the evening.
