🌄 Sunrise Adventure: Fossil Rock Camping ⛺️ & Epic Hike Experience 🥾


Details
Fossil Rock is one of the most fascinating natural sights in the UAE, and its proximity to Dubai makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the UAE’s unique desert beauty. 🏜️ Located in Sharjah Emirate and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this area offers breathtaking desert landscapes, with jagged fossil rocks rising from deep red dunes. 🌄
I’m planning to camp overnight to reconnect with the off-road world. 🚙✨ From the top of Mount Mleiha, you can enjoy the "night show" of off-road vehicle lights in the distance. If you prefer a quieter experience, I recommend arriving early in the morning and joining us for a peaceful hike. 🌅🚶♂️
FOSSIL ROCK HIKE:
A moderate level hike across the valley of Mount Mleiha towards the plateau. It involves light bouldering and a bit of scrambling. The total distance of the trail is 6km return with an elevation gain of approximately 300 meters. It should take you 2-3 hours to complete the hike.
