Hiked the Al Dhahir trail in Fujairah

A rocky mountain landscape at the Al Dahir trail in Fujairah, UAE. Jagged peaks rise in the background, their surfaces illuminated by soft sunlight. A shallow stream reflects the sky, winding through the rugged terrain, with patches of dry grass and shrubs scattered along the path.

Mustafa, from Fujairah Adventures, stands smiling in front of rocky desert mountains and palm trees, under a clear blue sky. We met him at the end of our hike and talked about our shared love of classic cameras.
