The UAE Summits Challenge 2023: Conquer Majestic Peaks, Ignite Unyielding Spirits

Starting from the awe-inspiring Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak, our adventure kicks off on the ‎vibrant morning of Saturday, November 4th, 2023. Like a river of ambition, we carve our path ‎through rugged terrains, crossing deserts and valleys, until we reach the majestic Jebel Hafeet in Abu ‎Dhabi on the auspicious Saturday, December 2nd, coinciding with the UAE National Day. 

The UAE-SC isn’t just a sporting event; it’s a testament to the UAE’s spirit of determination, adventure, and unity.
