Shawka is a village in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. It is a popular hiking destination,[1] noted for the popular hiking areas around the wadi Shawka and the Shawka Dam. The dam, originally constructed in 2001, was part of a $33.4m 2020 reconstruction project that aimed to shore up and protect dams and waterways in the region.[2] In an area noted for its high levels of rainfall and fertility in the Winter and Spring, Shawka enjoyed record levels of rainfall in 2020 - according to local residents rainfall in 2020 was the heaviest in 30 years.[3]
