Immerse yourself in one of Fujairah’s most scenic and unique hikes — the Wadi Al Dhahir (Sulphur Pools) Hiking Trail. This adventure weaves through rugged Hajar Mountain landscapes, crystal-clear sulphur-rich pools, and lush valleys rarely experienced elsewhere in the UAE.
Whether you’re a nature lover, photo enthusiast, or outdoor adventurer, this hike balances natural beauty, riverside wadi walking, rocky terrain, and refreshing water features — making it an unforgettable day trip from anywhere in the UAE.
The trail is famed for turquoise sulphur pools, serene water ponds, and small natural swimming spots — especially vibrant after rainfall.
Expect a mix of wadi floor walking, rocky paths, and gentle climbs through dramatic mountain scenery. Cairns (stone piles) and spray-painted arrows mark most sections.
Despite its arid surroundings, the lush Dahir area supports rich vegetation, palms, farms, and occasional wildlife sightings, adding dynamic variety to the hike.
While the full loop is ~8 km, shorter route options (2–3 km) are ideal for families or beginners who prefer a shorter walk and still want stunning views and water features.
Your safety and enjoyment are our priority.
