I was born in March 1971 and UAE was created in December 1971.

To commemorate UAE's 50th National day in 2021, I have ventured into my own Hiking tribute to UAE where I have stayed for the last 28 years.

My project is W2W (Wadi to Wadi ) and this particular hike was the 2nd segment.
We hiked this trail today 20h November 2021.

We connected Wadi Taween ( Sidaqa) trail with Wadi Naqab via Difan, Mushwarir and Sheri villages.

Our summit for the trail was about 1580 meters high, called as jebel Harf Tila and Twin brothers.

The terrain of the trail is full of boulders, loose loose rocks, steep ascent, steep descent and direct exposure to hot sun. It was a very challenging and testing hike.

I did a lot of research on this area, trails and other necessary topics with lead hikers who have hiked in this region. It is best to know what to expect than to simply get into something in an unknown area.

For most of this hike we followed a previously posted trail by Ben Robbins.

We did some modifications here and there, added a few areas, removed some, added 2 extra mountain peaks and at the end ended up hiking this trail as recorded.

We really kept our pace fast considering short daylight hours of winter, planned logistics for the one way hike and finally achieved the target as envisaged.

Ben's trail was the main guidance for us.

We also hiked upto the summit of Jebel Half Tila ( which also apparently known as Twin brothers ) at the elevation of 1580 meters.
We carried 6L water per person and all other mandatory precautions and nutrients as needed for a such a long hike.
Other than the Difan village, we didnt encounter any humans around.
So relying on anyone in the villages for the essentials can be a big risk to be taken.
