We are excited to announce our first ever cultural hike series that will visit a variety of sites in the UAE, from Fujairah to Sharjah, where you will walk through some familiar sites as well as hidden gems only known to the local community.
You will be guided by a local expert as they share their archeological knowledge and explain the importance of these sites that include petroglyphs, early settlements and villages. We will be visiting anthropologically significant areas including places where our ancestors from Africa were thought to have settled in the middle east; in none other than in the Emirates we now know as Sharjah.
Through these hikes, we will explore architecture, archaeology, and history, diving into topics like materials, settlement formations, and cultural practices that make this region of the world an important part of human history.
Our first hike of the series will take place on 2nd February 2025 in Wadi Saham where you will learn more about the historical significance of the area including the petroplyph that is found along the trail.
Our 2nd episode of the series will take place in Wadi Bih in Ras Al-khaimah Emirate on 28 February 2025.
