Geocache Description:


The 7 Summits of Fujairah

When "seven" is mentioned, you might immediately think of the "wonders of the World," the continents, and of course, the seven Emirates that make up the UAE.

As you leave the city of Fujairah towards Dubai, on your left-hand side just after the Zayed Sports Complex is the flag park and the start of the Seven Summits Trail.

This pleasant 1.8km walk starts with a series of hairpins that climb you quickly up about 71m to the first "mini fort." The trail's start is a little bit steep, and most people will be a bit tired of it, but don't worry, it's relatively short and well worth the effort.

Once on the top of the trail, you follow it along the ridge and have the opportunity to explore all the towers. Each fort is unique and can be entered. There are many windows to look through, and each one frames a beautiful picture.

The 7 Watchtowers of different designs are illuminated at night entirely by energy-efficient solar panels. With the exploring complete and photos taken, you descend the zig-zag trail and return along the mountain's foot to the car park.

The best time of the day to walk the Seven Summits is at sunset, and I can guarantee you will have an enjoyable walk and some fantastic photos for your album. The trail will appeal to all people, the person who wants an easy walk, the family, and the fitness enthusiast. It's open all year round.

The cache is a PET cache tube secured with a lock.

To open the lock, you must answer two questions.

  1. How high you have to climb to reach the towers?
  2. The forts represent how many Emirates?

 

Happy Hunting laugh
