Al-Ain was home to the former ruler of Abu Dhabi, the late Sheikh Zayed. Its geography is very different from the Abu Dhabi town. Al Ain is a lot greener. Our subject matter for this blog, Jebel Hafeet, lies on the outskirts of the Al ain district. The southeastern side of it, to be exact.
The meaning of the word Jebel Hafeet is just as it looks - ‘the barren mountain.’ This mountain is protected under the environmental protection Act introduced in 2018.
Jebel Hafeet Mountain Al Ain
Jebel Hafeet is the third-highest peak in the UAE. It is also home to some of the most beautiful roads in the country. The summit of this mountain is 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level.
The Jebel Hafeet forms a part of the Hajar mountains. A significant portion of the Hajar mountain region lies in Oman. This mountain range is the reason for the vastly different climate in Oman from that of the UAE.
The region is in half between Oman and UAE. But the highest portion of the mountain is in Abu Dhabi.
You will get the full view of al ain city sprawling beneath it from the top of the mountain. Tourists and motorheads have romanticized the winding road for many decades. Before building this two-lane highway on the hill, there existed nothing more than just a mountain trail.
On top of the Jabel Hafeet mountain with a vast parking lot, you can see the mighty mountain outline on the horizon from anywhere when you are in Al Ain.
Since 2018, barbecuing in the mountain area has been illegal due to littering risks. Sad news for campers, but there are particular spots for barbecuing in Jebel Hafeet Park.
Jebel Hafeet Tombs Al Ain
The oldest archeological site in Abu Dhabi is on the mountain’s eastern side. There are several ancient burial sites of the people who are believed to have inhabited the oasis. These tombs were built 5000 years ago at the beginning of the bronze age. The artifacts from here prove the trade links with Mesopotamia and India.
The mountain road is 11.2 kilometers long. The road climbs the mountain with several turns and twists. And A total of 60 of them. Driving on Jabal Hafeet road itself is fun. It is also one of the most challenging roads globally because of its steep gradient and hairpin turns.
There are some viewpoints along the way. You can take breaks and have snacks from the cafes in those areas. This road is a favorite destination for cyclists. When it’s winter, you will see a lot of cyclists peddling their way up the mountain.
A drive along the mountain road is worth experiencing if you are in the UAE. Apart from the fun of driving, the view of al ain is also spectacular.
The weather here is a lot cooler than in the rest of the country at all times. Even during the summer, when parts of Dubai will be sweltering above forty degrees, the temperature in Jebel Hafeet will be less than forty. That’s not a comfy temp, but a lot less than other parts of the UAE.
Winters are the best time to enjoy the beauty of Jebel Jafeet. During the winter, the temperature gets low. And the weather can be a bit hazy at times.
