GTA 7.7- STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There is a reason Stairway to Heaven is the most talked-about hike in the UAE; it takes a good amount of fitness to make it to the summit and back but the views are extremely worth it. The total elevation gain from starting point to the summit is around 1200m that is roughly the same as Mount Kilimanjaro's summit night push! If you are a beginner, worry not. We will split you up into two groups, beginners will take an easier trail that does not climb all the way to the summit.

GTA 7.8- HIDDEN OASIS
The trail begins through beautiful canyons where you will need to scramble through boulders and climb up rocks. After a couple of hours of hiking through the wadi, we finally reach the hidden oasis where we'll be taking our lunch break and getting ready for the climb to come. The climb is not technical but it is long and tiring so good fitness levels are recommended.
Once we reach the top, we will be transported back to the meeting point via busses.
Although the hike is not technical, a good amount of fitness is required to complete this trail
Check Out Our Blog
Did you know that Grasp The Adventure started off as a travel blog?! Our founder is an avid traveler who also enjoys writing and story telling; so one day in 2017, he decided to start a travel blog and called it Grasp the Adventure. In December 2019, a spontaneous plan to hike in RAK transformed the travel blog into an adventure group and later a licensed company. However, there are still loads of travel stories and tips on our website that you can check out using the link below.
Become a Grasper
Grasp the Adventure is not just about hiking, it is about forming a community of like-minded adventurers that want to escape the confines of the city and reconnect with nature while forming new, social bonds.
All our local hikes end with an epic Grasper BBQ; because we believe that nothing brings people together like great food... and because we know it's well deserved!

GTA sparked a passion in me that is hard to describe, ever since the first adventure I joined, I've been boundlessly gravitated towards new heights.
Thank you GTA, for confronting us with greater spans of time.

GTA has nurtured a lovely community of adventure-seekers looking to escape the mundanity of everyday life. I have travelled with GTA within and out of the UAE, and the only thing that I find myself wanting is more. GTA is your go-to if you're looking to make memories, and friends, that will last a lifetime.

Simply, my best hiking experience I had is with this amazing group. I entered the community as a stranger, and now im proud to call the Grasp the Adventure crew my family. I'm currently counting down the days until the hikes resume back.

This business changed my idea of hiking from “hell no” to “hell yes” from one experience only. Seven months later I just finished my third hike with them and looking forward to many more (including international adventures). What else? Oh yes, their food is EPIC! Oh gosh, I’m drooling already,
