Intro To UAE Trail Running: Wadi Showka
OutdoorUAE
|May - August 2018
Urban Ultra hosts trail running events at Wadi Showka in Ras Al Khaimah twice a year, attracting hundreds of local trail runners from novices to elites.
The Wadi Racer event consists of three distances: 10km, 20km, and 30km, covering rolling hills with some spectacular views of mountains and my favorite camels. Wadi Showka is the side of UAE which most people don’t understand exists: rural, rocky mountains – yet is only one hour drive from Dubai and Sharjah and a two hour drive from Abu Dhabi. If you are not familiar with Wadi Showka, then the best way to give it a try is to run in the next Urban Ultra event there.

Musandam Untouched
I’m curled up with my knees bent towards my chest, my head only able to move a few centimetres above me otherwise I will hit the sharp rock above. I can hear the wind whistle and whirl around me, as I lay in this animal lair.

Summer Camping In The UAE And Oman
As many expats head home to cooler climes for the summer, there are many more who stay in the UAE throughout the hottest months. Many of these will still venture into the desert with their 4x4s, heading home after a moonlit BBQ; a handful of others will attempt to camp overnight in the sandpit.

Winter Flashback: Climbing Halgurd Mountain in Iraq
At just over 3,600 meters in elevation, Halgurd Mountain is one of the few snow-covered peaks in the Middle East that is worthy of summiting. In January, I took a group of eight colleagues on an overnight winter trek in the Zagros Mountains, 170 kilometres northeast of Erbil, Iraq.
