About Us

Born in the UAE, The Hike & Co started with a simple mission: to make the outdoors feel welcoming, accessible, and fun for everyone.

What began as a few community hikes grew into a home for explorers — offering local trips across the UAE, international adventures, and shared moments that turn strangers into friends.

Today, we also support brands and companies with team-building experiences, wellness events, and curated outdoor activations designed to spark connection.

With us, it’s never just a hike — it’s a feeling, a community, and a place where good people meet good experiences.

Dedicated professionals driving our success

Adel 

Co-Founder

For me, the outdoors have always been more than just an adventure, they are where I clear my head and find perspective. 

Through the days I’ve spent exploring, I’ve learned that nature teaches patience, resilience, and joy all at once. 

Co-founding The The Hike & Co. came from a simple idea: to share those moments with others. It’s about giving people a space to step outside their comfort zone, explore new places, and walk away with stories.

That’s why I chose to leave the 9-5 life behind to build this community and create a space where people can come together.  

Thaeer

Co-Founder

Nature has always been where I find my balance. Hiking, training, and discovering new places are part of who I am, and I love bringing people together to share that joy.

As a co-founder of The Hike & Co., I get to create outdoor experiences where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or skill level. 

For me, every hike is about more than just the view from the top, it’s the laughter, the stories, and the friendships we carry home with us.

Natalie

Leader

I’m from the Highlands of Scotland, and while I hiked a lot growing up, there’s something uniquely different about hiking abroad. Whether it’s discovering new cultures, meeting new people, or exploring unfamiliar landscapes, these trips always seem to leave a lasting impression.

 What stands out most to me is how each trip deepens my appreciation for the little things in life. They also give me the space to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with myself, and can challenge me physically at times which is a good feeling to push my body.

Nadeen

Leader

Hey, I’m Nadeen. I spend most of my week in the corporate hustle, juggling screens and deadlines.

 Hiking started as my little escape, a way to step away from the noise, but it’s become so much more—an adventure where I swap office chairs for trails, stress for fresh air, and come back feeling recharged and ready to tackle life again.
