UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) - Ras al-Khaimah (RAK) - Lower and middle course of Wadi Barut, from Wadi Ghalilah Dam
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Wadi Barut is a dry valley or river, with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras al Khaimah.
It is a tributary of the Wadi Ghalilah , from its confluence with the Wadi Litibah , and is formed mainly by the ravines and torrents that run along the northern slope of Jabal ar Rahrah (1,691 m.) ; along the western slope of Jabal Bil Ays / Jebel Jais (1,911 m.); and on the eastern slope of a branch of the Jabal Ar Rahrah Ridge, in which the Jabal Maqatail (1,556 m.) is located.
Route :
In its course, from south to north, the Wadi Barut crosses terraced farming areas and farms built on its eastern bank, grouped in the small towns and/or farming areas of Barut, Defels, Deira Al-Rakba and others, connected via a bridle path that runs between the Wadi Ghalilah Dam and the Jabal Ar Rahrah Ridge.
Already in the area of confluence with the Wadi Litibah, to form the Wadi Ghalilah, there are also small farms on both banks of the wadi, which can be accessed through a stone and gravel road.
Those on the right bank are located at the foot of large rock walls, one of them 600 m high. high (Barut Wall and Barut Nose) , valued by climbers as the longest climbing routes in the country, and of which this illustrative and friendly video by Brian Coones testifies.
Of the rural centers of the wadi, the one that remains most active and populated is Defels (Dirat Dafalas), located at the head of the wadi, which currently has about 20 inhabitants, dedicated to agriculture and the breeding and care of goats. , and benefits from the proximity of road access, electricity supply and drinking water, due to the tourist and recreational activity generated around the Jebel Jais area.
Place names:
Alternative names: Wadi Barut, Wādī Barut, Wadi Barun.
The name of this wadi was recorded in the documentation and maps prepared between 1950 and 1960 by the British Arabist, cartographer, soldier and diplomat Julian F. Walker , during the work carried out to establish borders between the then called Trucial States. , later completed by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, with maps at a scale of 1:100,000 (Ref. FCO 18/1785 -1971 -Trucial States, Muscat and Oman: Al Rams) , in which it appears with the spelling Wādī Barut

English Version:
The Wadi Barut is a valley or dry river, with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras al Khaimah.
It is a tributary of the Wadi Ghalilah, from its confluence with the Wadi Litibah, and is formed mainly by the ravines and gullies that run along the northern slope of the Jabal ar Rahrah (1.691 m.); along the western slope of Jabal Bil Ays / Jebel Jais (1,911m); and along the eastern slope of a branch of the Jabal Ar Rahrah Ridge, in which is the Jabal Maqatail (1,556 m).
In its course, from south to north, the Wadi Barut crosses cultivation areas in terraces and farms built on its eastern bank, grouped in the small towns of Defels, Barut, Deira Al-Rakba and others, communicated through a donkey trail that runs between the Wadi Ghalilah Dam and the Jabal Ar Rahrah Ridge.
Already in the area of confluence with the Wadi Litibah, to form the Wadi Ghalilah, there are also small farms on both banks of the wadi, which can be accessed through a road of stone and gravel.
Of these villages and farms, the one that remains the most active and populated is Defels (Dirat Dafalas), located at the headof the wadi, which currently has 20 inhabitants, dedicated to agriculture and raising and caring forgoats, and benefits from the proximity road access,electricity supply and drinking water, due to the tourist and recreational activity generated around the Jebel Jais area.
Toponymy:
Alternative Names: Wadi Barut, Wādī Barut, Wadi Barun.
The name of Wadi Barut was recorded in the documentation and maps produced between 1950 and 1960 by the British Arabist, cartographer, army officer, and diplomat Julian F. Walker during the work carried out to establish borders between what was then called Trucial States, later completed by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), on 1:100,000 scale maps published in 1971 (Ref. FCO 18/1785 -1971 -Trucial States, Muscat and Oman: Al Rams).
It also appears, with the spelling Wādī Barut, in the National Atlas of the United Arab Emirates.
In the political and administrative organization of the Emirate of Ras al Khaimah, the name of the main wadi is frequently used as an identifying element of the entire territory covered by its drainage basin.
In the case of Wadi Ghalilah, this drainage basin is very large (76.32 km²), comprising numerous towns,villages and farms widely scattered throughout its valleys and mountains. Naturally, it also includes all the ravines and tributaries of the main wadi.
The same denomination is also used for postal purposes.
For this reason, the mistake of considering that this is the only name that corresponds to all the different wadis, and even to some population centers in this region, is widespread, frequently ignoring the true name of each of these places.
This has contributed to the fact that Wadi Barut has also been incorrectly referred to as Wadi Ghalilah on a few occasions.
Population:
The geographical area of Wadi Barut was historically inhabited by the semi-nomadic Shihuh tribe, section of Bani Shatair (Arabic: بني شطير), which occupied, among other territories, the tribal areas of Bani Bakhit and Banī Sā`ad .
-------
THE ROUTE:
The purpose of the walk is to travel the lower and middle course of the Wadi Barut , from the Wadi Ghalilah Dam, in an upward direction, to identify its arms and sources or main torrents, and to try to find a way to follow the course of the main channel, to the point of confluence of the different arms and tributary ravines of the wadi, where the Wadi Barut waterfalls (Wadi Barut Dry Falls) are located.
The task is not at all easy, since the Wadi Barut has the uniqueness that it does not have a long stretch of low course, and you immediately go from a course with little unevenness and a typical bed of pebbles or small boulders, in the area where where the village of Barut (which gives its name to the wadi) is located, to a channel typical of a medium course, with large boulders and medium-sized rocks, and almost without delay, to a channel with high course characteristics ( steep slope and large rocks obstructing the channel).
Along the lower course of the Wadi Barut
Along the middle course of the Wadi Barut
The entire course of the Wadi Barut is sandwiched between high cliffs, with very vertical walls, and most of the torrents that it receives pour their waters in the form of very high waterfalls, clearly visible on the right side of the wadi, turning the channel into , when it rains, in a very impetuous torrent . But the waterfalls we want to reach are not those, but those found at the confluence of the three main arms of the wadi.
Barut Wall. Canyon with impressive walls on the right side of the Wadi, through which several torrents descend in cascades
At the end of the middle course of the wadi, approximately 2 km. From its confluence with the Wadi Litibah, there is a large plug produced by the landslide and large rocks on both sides, and by the accumulation of sediments carried by the current, from the erosion and weathering of the rocks, and it is difficult Find a way to overcome it.
Tremendous plug and mass of large rocks. On the right you can see a path
We have tried, trying both sides.
On the left side, the landslide area carried mainly earth, stones and small rocks, and from a distance you can see something similar to a path, which is probably the result of the passage of the goats. It is possible that this area is less complicated to pass the plug, although the slope is significant, and the terrain is unstable and unsafe, due to the stones and small loose rocks.
As this route on the left side did not convince us, we tried the right side of the wadi, almost touching the great wall of the cliff, in which there is a stretch of route without obstacles, but which very soon led us to the center of the plug, with large rocks that can only be overcome using hands and feet and climbing through places with high risk and exposure to danger.
We are not convinced by the route on the left side. We try to the right, almost touching the wall, along a section with better road, but it also takes us to the center of the plug.
After trying different points, we gave up, but we were left with the desire to advance further in the ascent of the Wadi Barut channel, to the area of the waterfalls, so on future occasions we will try to find other routes.
However, from the place where we stopped the climb, to the point of confluence and waterfalls that form the three main arms of the Wadi Barut, only 600 meters separate us, and from there the large and vertical walls of the waterfalls prevent continue the tour through those arms of the upper course of the wadi, on a walk without climbing.
Another option to get to or get very close to the Wadi Barut Dry Falls area is through the old town and current farming area of Deira Al-Rakba (in Arabic: ديرة الركبه) located on the same left side of the wadi, so only 500 meters higher than where we are.
But unless in the future we find some way to overcome the rock blockage of the wadi bed, to reach Deira Al-Rakba it is necessary to take a long detour, following the Deira Al-Rakba Hiking Trail that also starts from the Wadi Ghalilah Dam .
This optional route is not easy either, but as these two photographs taken from Deira Al-Rakba prove, on that route, from there you can perfectly see the point of confluence of the three main arms of the Wadi Barut, and the path that those torrents follow. tributaries and their respective waterfalls. Even some terraces located in the lower part of the village are a few meters from the westernmost waterfall.

Returning to the starting point, we follow an alternative path that leads us to an area with old dry stone constructions and some recent terraces, and almost at the confluence with the Wadi Litibah, to some small farms that occupy the right bank of the wadi. , at the foot of the Barut Nose .
ACCESS TO THE ITINERARY AND PARKING:
The starting point of the route can be easily accessed with a sedan vehicle, since the road is paved.
There is a well-equipped parking lot at the southern end of the Wadi Ghalilah Dam, at coordinates 25.981013, 56.145390.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THIS ROUTE:
The degree of difficulty of a route is measured mainly based on three factors: effort, technicality and risk , although the real difficulty of an itinerary must also take into account other variables, such as the weather situation, the weight of the backpack and the preparation. or physical form of the walker, who must know how to evaluate himself.
To know the physical difficulty or physical effort required, it is useful to use an automatic assessment system, such as the one provided by the PPI index. This is the index that corresponds to this route:
IBP index: 30 HKG
Total distance: 4.05 km
Desn. Accumulated climb: 170.09 m
Desn. Accumulated descent: 169.06 m
Maximum height: 311.16 m
Minimum height: 142.81 m
Total time: 2:34:48 h
Moving time: 1:27:10 h
Stopped time: 1:07:38 h
Total average speed: 1.57 km/h
Average moving speed: 2.79 km/h

GENERAL TABLE OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY AND RISK LEVELS:
Pictograms with the degrees of technical difficulty and risk of a hiking route
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THIS ITINERARY:
Level 3: LOW DIFFICULTY: Route or section of route that presents at least one obstacle of a height less than or equal to knee height. The posture of the foot adapts to the irregularity of the support. The placement of the supports is carried out on the areas with the best grip. This degree of difficulty of the route is mainly concentrated in the final section of the itinerary, in which we will have to make our way between some large rocks, sometimes using our hands to find support.
RISK LEVEL OF THIS ITINERARY:
Level 2: FAIRLY LOW: Fairly low accident risk level. Hazard exposure remains limited. Injuries are possible but minor (examples: path in quite marked relief with possible presence of embankments, possible dislocation and sprains in case of fall...)
