Wadi Al Hayl Dam, Fujairah

Secluded and hidden behind the hills of the Hajar mountains in Fujairah. This is a sleepy small dam. Although in the summers it is dry as a bone but can’t wait to visit this place when a few showers would be bestowed in this area. A dam monitoring station and a small dam complete this isolated place which lies in the centre of the small valley created. Do not expect any nearby spots for tea or refreshments of any kind. Just before the area you will pass a suburb of Fujairah with local residents. Be respectful as it’s their quiet residential homes. Small vehicles may find it difficult to reach the place as you will encounter stony terrain so be aware.

Beautiful and peaceful place for a family outing. We were lucky as water was there in the dam (28.12.19). The scenes with mountain, water were amazing and awesome. Driving down further will bring you to the Al Hayl Castle. Another beautiful place with basic amenities such as masjid and rest rooms. You can be assured of enjoying your day out. You will need to carry lighting arrangements if you plan to leave after dinner BBQ.
