Hiking Trail at Al Henna Trail

Enchantingly secluded at the foothills of the Wadi Fai mountains, this loop trail is named after the henna trees historically cultivated in this area.The abundance of water in this region and the fertility of the land make it so that palm, citrus, mango, and ghaf, the UAE’s national tree, abound.

The beautiful pools and springs along the Al Henna Trails quickly catch the eye, with some milky blue, and others crystal clear. The beautiful mix of contrasting colors, with their blend of turquoise, gray, and tan, is perfect for the enthusiastic photographer.


This trail is also a wonderful opportunity to explore the region’s diverse animal life, including toads, fish, snakes, and even camel spiders.
The hike itself is not too strenuous, but there is some time spent in the dry canyon and some steep areas.
