Getting your daily steps in is one of the simplest things you can do for long-term health. I usually clock mine in my favourite walking shoes, or on a run, but recently I went to Dubai and, to my surprise, absolutely fell in love with the mountains. Yes, there are mountains there!
For four days, we explored the Hatta mountain views and the desert, and only then did I realise I wished I’d brought proper women's hiking boots. Some of the terrain was tricky; I felt stones slipping into my running trainers, and although there was no rain, there were a few streams to navigate, and my toes did not appreciate getting wet.
