Police rescued two Emiratis who were trapped in a remote mountain area in Ras Al Khaimah on Wednesday afternoon.
The force said the two male teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were found in a rugged part of Wadi Qada’a.
One of them required first aid after he was found exhausted and dehydrated.
“We received a report about two young Emiratis stranded in the rugged terrain of Wadi Qada’a," said Maj Abdullah Al Saman, director of rescue and ambulance department at Ras Al Khaimah Police, in a statement on Thursday.
"Rescue teams and the air wing launched a search and rescue operation to identify their location.”
After receiving treatment at the scene, the two Emiratis were airlifted to Saqr Hospital for further medical assessment.
Maj Al Saman urged the public to avoid rough terrain during hot weather.
“People should be careful in such terrain and have enough water to avoid such incidents that endanger their lives,” he added.

Sinopharm vaccine explained
The Sinopharm vaccine was created using techniques that have been around for decades.
“This is an inactivated vaccine. Simply what it means is that the virus is taken, cultured and inactivated," said Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, chair of the UAE's National Covid-19 Clinical Management Committee.
"What is left is a skeleton of the virus so it looks like a virus, but it is not live."
This is then injected into the body.
"The body will recognise it and form antibodies but because it is inactive, we will need more than one dose. The body will not develop immunity with one dose," she said.
"You have to be exposed more than one time to what we call the antigen."
The vaccine should offer protection for at least months, but no one knows how long beyond that.
Dr Al Kaabi said early vaccine volunteers in China were given shots last spring and still have antibodies today.
“Since it is inactivated, it will not last forever," she said.
