Jabel Hafeet Mountains - Al Ain - Abu Dhabi
Jebel Hafeet named one of the world's most picturesque road trip routes
Jebel Hafeet offers the third most beautiful road trip in the world
Jebel Hafeet is the third highest peak in Abu Dhabi and the third highest in the UAE. It is also home to some of the most beautiful roads in the country. ... This mountain range is the reason for the vastly different climate in Oman from that of the UAE. The Jebel Hafeet region is cut in half between Oman and UAE.
From the top of the mountain, you will get the entire view of the al ain city sprawling beneath it. The winding road in Jebel Hafeet has been romanticized by tourists and motorheads for many decades. Before building this two-lane highway on the mountain, there existed nothing more than just a mountain trail.
On top of the mountain, there is a viewpoint with a vast parking lot. When you are in Al ain, you can see the mighty mountain outline on the horizon from anywhere.
