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.

It was my first and it exceeded my expectations. Thank you Chris for driving us safely 🥰 to Ems for making the walk fun and enjoyable and to Stephen for carrying my extra bottle of water. You guys are so awesome. My next hikes will definitely be with you.
I have had the pleasure of joining a number of hikes and Chris and team never disappoint. What an amazing way to enjoy nature in the UAE, knowing that you can do so safely with your family. Many of the hikes are family friendly and the children enjoy the experience immensely.
My first hike with ECC Adventures was nothing short of spectacular. The stunning landscapes of the UAE, combined with the professionalism and dedication of the ECC team, made this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend ECC Adventures to anyone looking to explore the beautiful hiking trails of the UAE. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a complete novice like myself, ECC Adventures ensures a fantastic and safe adventure.
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.
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.
Amazing! I did today a beautiful hike, wadi shawka! Our guide Chris knows the trails very well. It’s safe and relaxed. Good fun with friends/family/alone (pick up service available)! ECC will show you the beauty of the UAE nature. It was my 3rd time and for sure more to adventuress come!
Would absolutely recommend Chris, Karen, Stephen, Em and the rest of the team.
They take care of you every step of the way quite literally and make sure you have the best time in the process.
Do join them and my suggestion would be to purchase their season passes which is of amazing value for money and covers you for the entire season!
