Al Rabi Mountain Trail

The seaside city of Khorfakkan in Sharjah is truly a hidden gem in the UAE. Along with chilled beach town vibes, gorgeous waterfall and amphitheater, amazing local food, and the Al Rabi Mountain Trail, the city holds hundreds of years of history as a thriving port and one viciously attacked by the Portuguese once upon a time. The drive from downtown Dubai to the Al Rabi Mountain Trail is approximately 1.5 hours on a scenic road surrounded by mountains. No 4x4s needed. Here’s a guide on how to navigate the hike and spend a few hours exploring the city.
