If you're looking for an alternative hiking route in this magnificent mountain range, try heading up, up, up to the UAE's highest point. A steep climb, this route is still challenging as it takes you up 1,370m over the course of 6.5km. You'll be surrounded by the scenery of the rocky Hajars and once you reach the top, can admire the view down onto the zigzag road snaking its way up the other side of the mountain.
