    The island view from the summit makes this hike special. This mountain is in Khorfakkan which in itself ia a beautiful place. Down you can park your car and start the hike upto whatever distance you want, and you will get the full city view and the view of a beautiful khorfakkan island. The steeps are a bit on a higher side but you can rest in between and the path is raw so expect dust while hiking. 😊 It's worth it.

    I love Al Rabi Mountain! And mostly try to go there during week days because during the weekends the parking on top is full and you'll have to park below and work your way up to the tower and then start the hike so it's kind of annoying 😅 The view near the Rabi tower is great! You see a magnificent view of the Khorfakkan beach and port and Rabi mountain! So recommended for sure! We go there to walk mostly and sometimes visit the café there (the view) which is a good café with good coffee and (you guessed it) a good view

    Instagram: @makram.radwan, Al Rabi Tower located in Khorfakkan, an ancient tower from the old civilization. After taking few shots of the khorfakkan views and the sea on the other side, you can hike up the mountain all the way to the UAE flag where you will witness astonishing views of the land, mountains, and the Gulf of Oman which is part of the Indian Ocean. Great place to hike, chill and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

    Good trek, where you can take your kids also along. Please carry enough water to keep yourself hydrated. The complete trek is approx 10.5 kms but you could climb only one mountain and come back. You get amazing view from top. Try to start early in the morning to enjoy more.

    Beautiful view from top of mountain, trails are well marked which guides you to reach the summit with resting place at 1500 Mtr. Good place for family outing, little adventure for kids. Seen recent improvement with entry /exit trails more cleaned and well marked. Also shades with rest area are provided for visitors and more development under progress. You will love the place, hiking and view from the Rabi mountain. Open 24x7 for public with short and long term parking. Enjoy and stay safe.

    It's not the tower which I'm giving 5 stars for ( it's not much to see or be impressed with) - it's the al Rabi hiking trail that starts from there! Gorgeous mountain, with it's greenery and well marked and set up trail. Bottom of the trail would be quite busy with the visitors, but only those with proper shoes and perseverance would go up to the very summit, so up there it's only few fellow trekkers. We had our 4 and 9 year old kids hike up to the very top, so I'd say it's a suitable hike for beginners alike. It's not a loop, although one peak can be hiked around rather than up and down - but I wouldn't miss that up and down, as you get to see the other side of khorfakkan. Hidden beach I believe? Totally worth it. One of my favourite hikes for sure, coming back another time! P.s. some graffiti pollution is there on the rocks, unfortunately...

    The area around the tower is a good hiking place of around 2 kilometres uphill. Nice city view and ocean view from the top. Plan your trip early enough so that you can complete the hiking before it gets dark. Little difficult to find the place while following Google maps. Al Rabi tower is a fort that was a part of defence network in khorfakkan. The tower was used to send warnings to nearby watch towers.🛕🏞️

  • 5/5 alexandra s. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Hike, connect it with seeing the old part inkl. Museum of the beautiful City. I call it the white Pearl resting between Moutains and the Sea. "Khorfakkan" as well i regomend to visit Rafisah Dam and enjoy some Kayaking. Rafisah Dam to Suhub Rest House hike is as well a beautiful option. There's much more to discover.

  • 5/5 Mehdi Mahfuz �. 2 years ago on Google
    Very challenging hiking trail. Great exercise spot. Keep water and take rest in between trekking. Its a long trek. View from the top is very amazing. Heavy/regular smoker have to be very cautious about their physical condition while trekking. I was totally breathless.

    Have an Amazing view, but you need to be preferred if you like to go there. Because it's a long walk if you like to enjoy the TRAILS, Best time to go there during weekdays or not holiday season, the best during winter season. Love the place.

  • 4/5 Aisha C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place with little history. There is also a restaurant called The View by wave which serves delicious foods with spectacular views. There are benches for you to sit and enjoy the place. Unfortunately, parking spaces are very limited which is the only downside. Since it’s a winter / rainy season, the place gets cold. Plz bring along jackets to stay warm.

  • 5/5 Vignesh B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Abdulla A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The best place to practice hiking for beginners. Beautiful views along the path. It is best to start before sunrise and enjoy the view of the sunrise. The duration of the climb is within two hours, and there are rest areas along the route (Original) افضل مكان لممارسة رياضة الهايكنك للمبتدئين. مناظر جميلة على طول المسار. يفضل البدء قبل شروق الشمس والاستمتاع بمنظر الشروق. المدة الزمنية للصعود في حدود الساعتين و توجود مناطق للاستراحة على طول المسار

  • 5/5 ramanuja s. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place to visit for its views and the ease of climbing. If you are planning to watch the beautiful sunset from the top, you must carry a torch to climb down after the sunset. Great views if you can carry binoculars too.

  • 5/5 Charles J. 1 year ago on Google
    I did this hike on the 10th Sept 2022 Amazing experience if you can endure to reach the 2nd flag... saw the quiet beach (hidden gem) get enough water, try control your breathing as you climb (@j walexy on instagram for more guide)

  • 5/5 Kuya M. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't get confused with the entrance if you missed it you have to go around again. There's a toilet at the start point at the view restaurant so don't worry and just enjoy the mini hike.

  • 5/5 Muhammad F. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was no doubt amazing! It has great views of Khorfukkan, the food was delicious specially their pasta is extremely creamy and even the chicken breast on top was not very dry, tacos were also crispy and tasty, lotus cake was fabulous and the burger was just fine. Their pasta is a must! Parking might be an issue if going on a weekend. Definitely going back as its a good place after a long drive!

  • 5/5 Anas Q. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s a perfect spot to have a panoramic view of the town including the opposite mountains and sea. It is also where a very nice hiking route starts, which leads to a higher elevation.

  • 5/5 Deepak D. 3 years ago on Google
    An easy and relaxing hike to the top of Mount Rabia. Sunrise from the top is fantastic. Try to go uphill before sunrise to avoid the glaring sun on the way up.

  • 5/5 Nihad D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great hiking place. You can go hiking upto 3km to reach the top of the mountain. The trail is really good and normal shoes and just a bottle of water is fine to reach the top.

  • 4/5 Alan A. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a good trail for beginners like me. We didn't complete the whole trail. But did manage to get some real good clicks of khor fakkan from about 1100 mts up.

    Perfect place for hiking in the UAE. Very tiring but that's what Hiking is all about😃 Moreover, the amazing view from the top is breathless and worth every step that one takes to reach the top!

  • 5/5 jungchen h. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It’s not a very high mountain. The total length to the end is 2800m. It’s not too difficult for children to walk. (Original) 不是很高的山,到終點總長2800m,給小孩走也不是太困難

    Suitable for an averagely fit athlete ! The treking trial is safe with suitable directions and a few tricky parts to maneuver through. Loved the overall experience!

  • 4/5 Saji Sahadevan - It's a small W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best beautiful and scenic spot in Khorfakkan area. There is right pointers to the Al Rabi fort area from the main road. a steep hill drive and you can park the car near the fort.(parking spots are few and spot can get crowded in weekends). so on that case you can park in the base area and walk toward the watch tower area and enjoy majestic views. Then from the watch tower area start the 2.6km mountain hiking spot. It will take 1 approx 1.5hrs to do the entire hike. Path is well made, but will be little difficult to do with the kids. No toilets and shd carry water/refreshments with you also no shops. Highly recommended to enjoy breathtaking views! Nb: Do check my youtube channel for the location visuals

  • 5/5 Kassem G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A wonderful experience and a great idea for lovers of climbing in Khor Fakkan. But pay attention to the parking lot next to the tower, because you will face trouble leaving if you do not notice that. To climb the mountain path, you must prepare yourself and your companions for this: Athletic Shoe Stick to help Water 1 liter per person Your mobile should stay with you. Suitable for children up to a certain stage. Because the path is narrow in some places, we have to respect the path of others. Do not tire yourself out quickly and save the energy to reach the end (Original) تجربة رائعة و فكرة مميزة لمحبي التسلق في خورفكان. و لكن انتبه لموقف السيارات بجانب البرج لأنك ستواجه مشكلة بالخروج في حال لم تنتبه لذلك . لتسلق المسار الجبلي عليك بتحضير نفسك و مرافقيك لذلك : حذاء رياضي عصا للمساعدة ماء 1 ليتر للشخص موبايلك يجب ان يبقى معك . مناسب للأطفال لغاية مرحلة معينة . لكون المسار ضيق ببعض الاماكن علينا احترام مسير الاخرين . لا ترهق نفسك بالصعود بسرعة و احتفظ بالطاقة للوصول للنهاية

  • 5/5 Nafe P. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best places for hiking. Do visit for 500 plus calories burn 🔥 It takes 3 hours to climb till the top without taking break. Carry water with you and pee before climbing as there is not facility of washroom. Best time to reach there is by 4am if you love to see sun rise. Snack up so you don't starve on the way up.

  • 4/5 Praveen G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Jayan M. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best views of Khorfakkan you get when at the top of this place. The trekking road is still under construction though you can walk half way currently. 2.6 km track length at 395 meters mountain height...
