Wadi Shawka Adventurous Drive - 3 March 2017


Recommended Posts

It's a perfect time for enjoying some wadi excursion now after few sand off-road and on-road trips. Next on the card is picturesque landscape of wadi shawka in RAK. This will be soon next green tourist destination of RAK. Thanks to the Shawka dam that holds 275,000 cubic meter of rain water to slowly disperse evenly to protect farms and enhance the greenery of this beautiful wadi and preserve wildlife. It is ideal location for family recreational and picnic get together with bbq.

Plan is to enjoy the Shawka dam surroundings and find a good spot for lunch and bbq like always. After the lunch we will explore the wadi shawka track more deeper inside and hoping to exit from the back side of the shawka if condition permits or else return to entrance for safer exit.

Thank you Gaurav bhai for posting after considerable research. This has been on the cards for a long time now, however due to the prediction for the rains we were waiting for the right time. The weather shows that it will be sunny with a little cloud cover at times and very cool temperatures. Wadi Shawka promises to be a beautiful scenic place and very true on the North Eastern region of UAE being the green tourist destination in the near future. Looking forward to the support of Carnity members as received in the past 5 drives. You encourage us to bring something new every week and continue to enjoy this awesome weather in the outdoors.
