What we’re about
Hey hikers and soon‑to‑be hikers! I’m Kashif, and I am on a mission to get fit before my sister’s wedding next year. Instead of paying hefty fees for guided hikes, I’m starting a free Saturday morning hiking group. We’ll explore the UAE’s stunning wadis, desert peaks and forested parks, make new friends and motivate each other to reach our fitness goals. Whether you’re a total beginner or have a few summits under your belt, if you can walk for a few hours and love early mornings, this group is for you. Come along, bring your positive vibes and let’s conquer those trails together – without breaking the bank!
