This 7-summits/Al Bidya hike is a combination of two entry-level hikes, ideal for beginners and families with children.
The seven summits trail begins at the Big Flag in Fujairah then continues across seven summits or forts, representing the seven Emirates that make up the UAE. You will finish the loop where you started at the beautiful gardens, an ideal spot for a quick snack after the hike.
Following the 7-Summits, we will continue to the Al Bidyah Mosque trail. The trail starts off with a climb to a high point which offers beautiful coastal views, before following the ridge all the way to the Al Bidyah mosque which is the oldest mosque in the UAE. After a quick tour around the mosque, we will retrace our steps to the end of the trail.

Thank you, ECC Adventures, for making my first hike such a positive and enriching experience! I look forward to many more adventures with you in the future.

Thanks to ECC Adventures, I have been able to see and appreciate the many hidden treasures dotting the UAE landscape. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts.
My recent hiking experience at Wadi Al Abadlah with ECC Adventures was nothing short of extraordinary. The trail was offering a perfect blend of challenging ascents and relaxing meanders through serene valleys. Our guide, Stephen and Karen were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna while ensuring our safety at all times. Their passion for the outdoors was infectious, and made the entire group feel at ease, even during the more strenuous sections of the hike. Overall, the hiking adventure was a transformative experience that rejuvenated my spirit and reignited my love for nature. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable outdoor adventure. See you on next trails soon.
The best licensed hiking group in UAE. Period. 10 stars.
Their hikes are well thought out, and stunning. They make sure no one is left behind by always having 1 person at the start and at the end of the group. They even show you how to climb tough areas by showing exactly where to keep each of your feet. Highly recommend their season pass.
I joined ECC in 2022 and have been a season pass holder since then. The trails they offer are unique; after your first hike, you’ll want to keep going back again and again….and again. 😂 I never thought hiking would be possible in the UAE, but ECC has made it happen—and it’s incredibly fun!
Their experienced team not only guides you on the trails but also teaches you about the local flora and fauna, along with interesting bits of history.
Kudos to ECC! To more trails next season!
