Wadi Ham is one of the most scenic valleys in the eastern UAE, stretching through the
rugged Hajar Mountains near Masafi. It’s the longest seasonal wadi in Fujairah and a
popular spot for travelers who love photography, off-road adventures, and nature walks.
During the rainy season, the wadi transforms into a flowing stream surrounded by green
landscapes and dramatic rock formations, making it one of the most beautiful natural sites
