Jebel Hafeet

Last 06-07 February, we had one of the best weekend getaway experience :)

Jebel Hafeet is the most famous mountain in UAE, which served as boarder for UAE-Oman.
The mountain rises 1240 meters and offers an impressive view over the city.

At the foothills lies the Green Mubazzarah, a developed tourist attraction where hot springs gush forth in little springs and form a lake.

The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road extends for 7.3 mi (11.7 km) up the mountain, rising 4000 ft (1219 m). With 21 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), the immaculate road was called the greatest driving road in the world according to Edmunds.com

The summit, has a huge open space / parking lot. From there, you can see the palace, which is owned by the Sheikh and the 5-Star - Mercure Grand Hotel... Not to mention the

vast land, desert, and the city of Al Ain that's so relaxing... the feeling of being so close in the sky and clouds seems within your reach is really unexplainable!!!
