Dubai Announces Opening of New Hiking Trail

Scheduled to open on June 20, the trail features an 8.3km yellow recreational track and a 1.4km orange sports track, providing options for hikers of varying skill levels.

Dubai Municipality will open a new mountain hiking trail at Mushrif National Park. This allows hikers to take advantage of a 10km (approximately) trail, which is the first of its kind in Dubai. The trail will consist of multiple tracks suitable for both beginners and professionals.

“It’s the first of its kind in Dubai and offers various pathways tailored for both novice and experienced mountain climbers, delivering a one-of-a-kind adventure experience,” Dubai Municipality said on Twitter.

The move is part of the municipality’s efforts to enhance the appeal and quality of life in Dubai by developing recreational facilities and parks, and the addition of this hiking trail is a testament to that commitment.

Ahmed Al Zarooni, the Director of the municipality’s Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Department said “the track in the Mushrif National Park’s forests offers a distinctive opportunity for individuals who are fond of walking, climbing, and adventure to explore and enjoy various unique facilities.”
