The Cultural Hike Wadi AL Helo (Sweet Valley) Sun rise (Moderate loop)

Event Overview & Plan:
Wadi Al Helo is located on the Sharjah Kalba Highway, blessed with abundant underground water. Wadi Al Helo, or “sweet valley,” is home to an important archaeological site and a restored Islamic watchtower. Nestled between the Hajar mountains, the Wadi is a protected area for endangered birds, reptiles, rodents, and freshwater fish.
The most popular trail is an easy walk to the top of a hill, where an old fort offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the UAE mountain range. You will likely encounter wildlife like the Arabian Oryx, the UAE’s national animal, and find desert flowers blooming along the way, but not in summer. We extend our trail to 3 peaks and, if time allows, we may explore further before returning to the start point.
