Circle
Hiking & outdoors: find adventure friends in Dubai
From October to April, Dubai is made for being outside. This circle is for people who want company on trails, in the desert and on the water.
Where people do this in Dubai
- Hatta, with marked hiking and mountain-biking trails in the Hajar Mountains.
- The Al Qudra Cycle Track and the desert around it.
- Public beaches for swimming, paddleboarding and sunset picnics.
How to find your people
- Start with shorter, well-known trails and build up.
- Plan together: check the weather, share the route and agree a turn-back time.
- Car-share only once you know each other well; until then, travel on your own.
First plans for two
- A morning hike in Hatta
- An early ride at Al Qudra
- A sunset beach walk and picnic
Good to know
Avoid strenuous outdoor plans in the summer heat, carry plenty of water, and tell someone where you’re going.
How the Hiking & outdoors circle works
Members of this circle start plans that anyone in the circle can join, like a game, a walk or a coffee, and answer one quick question a week. Plans are always in public places and arranged by members. Friendship only, for grown-ups 18 and over.
