No. 1 Trek in UAE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Stairway to Heaven is dubbed as the UAE's toughest and deadliest trekking route. Starting from Wadi Ghaliliah in Ras Al Khaimah, the hike is a 23km journey up and down. The route is effectively a loop, however one side of the route is very dangerous and has even been fatal for some trekkers, hence it isn't recommended and instead ascending and descending on the same side is safer, equally challenging and ultimately scenic.
The accent is around 1,300m on a sister mountain on one side of Jebal Jais. I've left a link below for directions on where to start. I'd consider this trek difficult and will take at least 8 hours to complete, so start at 7.30am to avoid trekking in the dark, take some sun cream, 3 liters of water (minimum), some energy drinks, snacks and lunch. Also be sure to have proper hiking boots as the ground is loose and you could twist an ankle easily.
You can drive a car to a parking point and don't need a 4x4 for that. You can continue up further past the first parking in a car but you'll couldn't do in a low chassis car.

I think I’ll work my way up from beginner hikes. Thanks for showing. It looks majestic.
Yes not a bad ideal. Have you tried Rabi Tower in Fujairah or Fossil Rock in Sharjah? Both are good beginner hikes.
Nice video
Thanks. What's your favourite hike in UAE?
This was such great fun. Thanks for taking me out to explore the UAE.
More treks to come
Amazing place!!!
Have you hiked here?
@@ParisNorriss I would like it but not. Only what i saw in your video! Really a very particular place!
@@pointofviewgr It’s a bit too hot to do this hike now. But you should try in November. Do you hike in UAE at all?
Hopefully I can hike different mountain in uae❤️⛰️
Why not this one?
Is this the easier route going top? I didnt see you guys within the really steep stairs
Yes this is the Right Bank. The other side is a bit sketchy and a few people have told me it’s not advised.
@@ParisNorriss thanks but how is this route for beginners as well? Is it safe somehow? Thanks for your response!
@@BRENNEMEN This route is safe for all levels however it’s physically challenging and won’t take you less than 7 hours maybe more. I’ve put some tips in the video about what you should prepare so follow that. It is very hot these days so I wouldn’t suggest it now. Maybe after summer. Do you hike frequently?
Great video! Well done.
Thanks. Do you hike in the UAE?
@@ParisNorriss yeah just getting into it. Done showka, sheri village and hatta so far. This might have to be next!
@@tonysidgwick I’ll have to try those soon. I’ve done Shawka. Of the other two, which was your favourite?
@@ParisNorriss the Hatta Trails are nice and easy, and you can choose your difficulty as you go, but the Sheri village one is the most fun, more challenging with big climbs and good views.
@@tonysidgwick Thanks for that. I might try Hatta this weekend. I tried Wadi Shah last weekend on Jebal Jais. It was my favorite one so far. I highly recommend it.
Great video
Thanks. Have you been to this hiking spot yet? Funnily enough I went yesterday again.
I'm definitely heading there next time I'm in the UAE. Maybe do a few runs before I come in preparation
There’s an age limit on it, so I don’t know 🤷♀️
Guy in Dubai haha but clearly no weight limit...
@@paulmclaren1855 Haha. Touche.
I have never been there. Such a great mountain and view!
Yes very nice. Which treks have you been on? Any you recommend?
can you tell me who is the one who dislike the video..
Haha. Certainly wasn’t me. I’m glad you liked it. Do you trek on the weekends?
@ make it happen this weekend. No time like the present
@ Have you joined any of the hiking groups on Facebook yet?
@@ParisNorriss yes i am hiking with groups. But now summer started and i dont know ppl like to go there, temperature is rising and its a big loops
@ Yes it’s very hot now. It means you have to leave early and do shorter hikes like fossil rock, wadi caves etc.
Nice! One of my hiking list 😁
Which other hikes would you recommend?
@@ParisNorriss try some trails in fujairah. Adventure park, wadi sahm and al hayl trails
@@dariusonthetrail I did the Rainbow wadi (Wadi Ghub). Have you tried that one?
@@ParisNorriss oh yes that place is amazing. Try also wadi sena and wadi abadillah it's near at that area.
