Where To Go

Generally speaking, there are four areas that are best for mountain biking:

Ras al Khaimah and Musandam – mountains reaching up to 2,000m in height and huge, wide wadis to explore.
The area to the west of the Masafi-Dibba road –smaller wadis, mountain villages, oases, desert and medium-high mountains.
The east coast – several shorter dead-end valleys.
The area south of Shawka close to the Omani border – built single trails in smaller hills.
