This hike was everything that I wanted it to be and more. We went on the supposedly “easier” right wing of the infamous Stairway to Heaven trail of the UAE, in Wadi Ghalilah. But let me begin by saying that it is in no way “easy” (at least not for amateur hikers). It was an intermediate hike that involved a loooot of walking on steep slopes, and some climbing, and some occasional bouldering (especially if you wanted a bathroom break behind some rocks! 😁) The weather was perfect, and in fact quite cold as throughout the hike I was missing my jacket, which is always a good thing. But the best part of the hike for me, undoubtedly, was the amazing company that I had. The girl gang that we formed at this hike was such a great change from hiking with people you don’t quite know (which is great as well!). Just the great conversations with friends, seeing old faces, and seeing new faces, and finding a comfort zone with these people and being on the same page, especially during a hike, which is rare for me, is a very good thing! Overall, I’m gonna say this was a great great hike, and though the pictures aren’t all that amazing, I am still excited to share them! And I definitely definitely want to attempt the full Stairway to Heaven loop really soon, once I’m fully confident that I can complete it, SAFELY.
