Al Rabi Hiking Trail, Khorfakkan

A very scenic trail for beginners. A must climb for fitness enthusiasts and nature lovers. Inspiring views of the city, port and the sea! There are two options you can choose from- either come back from the first peak or go to the second and higher one. I recommend that you do both. About 2 hours should be sufficient for this activity. Early start is recommended. Head straight to Lilac cafe in Khorfakkan if you fancy a hot breakfast and good coffee. This activity would give you a total accent of 415m!

A well-marked trail with breathtaking views. Went on a Wednesday morning and we had the place almost to ourselves. It’s challenging at times but the incline is not too bad. There are two peaks: the first one is Al Shahs mountain top and the second one is the Al Rabi Mountain. I’d suggest following the proper hiking trail (on the left) not the road on the right as this one was quite steep and slippery. Plus, there are a few shaded rest areas on the trails and the views are nicer. No toilets at the beginning of the trail.
