Experience the thrill of night herping in Ras Al Khaimah’s moonlit wadis—spot geckos, toads, vipers, and a surprising diversity of scorpions under the cool desert skies.

Wadi Al Helo—“Sweet Valley”—in Sharjah’s Hajar Mountains transforms into a herper’s paradise after winter rains. From sun-basking wonder geckos and calling Arabian toads to ambushing saw-scaled vipers, Sinai agamas, and elusive sand skinks, this seasonal wadi packs diverse reptile and amphibian encounters into one compact field site.
