Description
The UAE's only year-round natural waterfall is open to visitors, but access is carefully controlled to protect its fragile ecosystem.
Hidden deep within Fujairah's Hajar Mountains, Wadi Wurayah is home to the UAE's only natural waterfall that flows all year, and after years of restricted access, the Unesco-listed reserve is welcoming the public through guided tours.
Here's what you need to know:
. A 13-metre waterfall believed to have flowed for 10,000+ years
. Home to 1,099 recorded species, including rare wildlife and the UAE's only wild orchid of its kind
. Guided tours start from Dh300 through Fujairah Holidays
. Visits are available during the hiking season (October onwards) with limited group bookings
Once closed to protect its fragile ecosystem, Wadi Wurayah has reopened under carefully managed tours, allowing visitors to experience one of the UAE's most extraordinary natural treasures while preserving its unique environment.
