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 😂

Very nice trek for beginner to intermediate. excellent view. 2-3 hours needed to go to both peaks. Take solid trainers or preferably walking boots. Best to do in the morning. Take drinks and snacks with you.

Hiked through Al Rabi Tower which offers very nice view at the top. There are 2 peaks at this hiking area. First 30 minutes will be hard but the rest of the hiking time will be so enjoyable. Bring at least 3 liters of water and a sweat towel. Enjoy!

I did Al Rabi Mountain Trail Hike today in Khurfakkan. It was a very good experience. Very nice trail and beautiful views! I was exhausted in the end but I have a sense of accomplishment now and it’s one of the best feeling.

Its best to do this trail early morning as weather has changed but still the sun heat is very intense right after sunrise. I kept 2L of water that was enough for 3 of us (3 adults). I also kept some dates and bananas with me to keep energy level high.

It is better to park your car in the ‘’Long term parking area’’ because ‘’short term parking’’ is for ‘Rabi watch tower’ visitors. you can get fined by police for leaving your car there for too long.

There are 2 peaks on the top. One is ‘’Shehs peak’’ and other is ‘’Rabi Peak’’. After covering 1500m there comes a point where if you go to the left side you reach ‘’Shehs Peak’’ and at the right side is Rabi peak.

My early morning trip details:

My hiking trip from Rabi Watch Tower took 3 hrs and 30 minutes because I took several short breaks in between.

4:40am: Left home from Qusais/Nahda area in Dubai

5:52am: Reached ‘’Long term Parking area’’ of Rabi Tower.

6:15am: Started hike from Rabi Watch Tower.

7:25am: Reached at Shehs Peak.

8:10am: Reached at Rabi Peak

9:45am: Back to the Rabi watch tower.

10:15am: breakfast at the nearest Macdonald in Khurfakkan

11:30am: Short stay at Rafisah Dam.

12:45pm: Reached home.

* There were no toilets there
* important to have good trail shoes
