Wadi Sifuni cuts through the Al Blaidah mountain range on the RAK/Fujairah border — one of the less-travelled wadi systems in the UAE and exactly the kind of trail that rewards an early start.
The route begins near Isfini village and traces the wadi bed through a mix of rocky wash sections, narrow canyon passes, and open mountain terrain with views across the Blaidah ridge. The trail loops through the upper drainage before coming back down through the lower valley — a full circuit that most groups never do in one run.
This is a free community drive, open to all members. Convoy briefing at the meeting point, then we move as a group with full marshal support throughout.
Vehicle requirements: factory or lifted 4WD, all-terrain tyres, low-range capable. Come fuelled and with water for the day.
This is a free community drive — no registration fee. A qualified 4WD Authority marshal leads the convoy, provides a pre-drive safety briefing, and coordinates vehicle recovery if needed on-trail.
