The UAE Summits Challenge beckons the champions to ascend to the pinnacle, culminating in the grand finale at Jebel Hafit and navigating the Everest-Hafit trail. Our expedition commenced on the formidable Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, and the concluding phase of the UAE Summits Challenge on the Everest-Hafit trail in Jebel Hafit is just around the corner

Similar to a river of ambition, we forged our path through challenging terrains, traversing deserts and valleys, ultimately guiding us to the majestic Jebel Hafeet in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, January 20th, 2024.

Beyond being a mere sporting event, the UAE Summits Challenge stands as a testament to the UAE’s spirit of determination, adventure, and unity.

Once more, the slogan resonates in the mountains: Raise it High… Raise it Proud.
