★★★★★Featured review by Rex Alvidera

The Place is perfect for night camping. BBQ is perfect but be mindful not to put directly the fire on the ground but used a BBQ grill with a stand. Also, Hopefully the people who want to visit this place should be responsible for not throwing garbage in any of the areas because I see lots of plastic bottles,mats etc... Planning to camp again soon. Its ambience is so good and quiet. Note: these areas can only be accessed by SUV unless maybe if you're familiar with the place then sedan will be ok if there are routes which 8m.not aware of. Thanks.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families who camp and want a genuine off-grid mountain escape within day-trip distance from Dubai or Fujairah city. Swimming is unsupervised with no lifeguard present, so confident swimmers only. Not suited to families seeking amenities or shade structures.
