Intermediate Hiking Trips INFORMATION
For those with some experience of hiking in the mountains.
- 300 UAE dirhams
- Hajar Mountains
Service Description
These hiking trips and tours are perfect for those that have some previous experience of hiking in the mountains and want to explore more routes and visit some of the high mountain villages. Hiking shoes or boots are a must for these hikes. If you have been out on a couple of easy hiking trips, or have a reasonable level of overall fitness, then these intermediate hiking trips could be just the thing you are looking for. We go a little further into the mountains, following the old mountain routes, visiting ancient villages and farmlands and gaining an insight to how life used to be here in the Hajar Mountains (still is for some!) and see how they are re-establishing the traditional homes. Or perhaps we will head into one of the many wadis for the day as we head deeper into the mountains and away from civilization. All you need to bring is your usual sports clothing, gym shoes (although hiking boots would be better if you have them!), lunch and snacks (maybe a couple of energy bars - just in case), 4 litres of water (we do not want anyone getting dehydrated out there) and a small backpack to carry it all in. Make sure you fully charge your phone to snap up all those amazing views and all important selfies.
