Jebel Hafeet

Aerial view of the Jebel Hafeet mountain road in Al Ain at golden hour: a smooth black tarmac road snakes through dramatic switchbacks down the side of an isolated limestone massif rising abruptly from the flat desert below, warm orange and ochre rocky cliffs catching the late-afternoon light
Jebel Hafeet is Al Ain's iconic limestone peak on the Oman border, the second-highest mountain in the UAE at roughly 1,249 metres. Its 11.7 km road of 21 corners is regularly cited as one of the world's great driving roads, and the Bronze Age tombs at its base are part of the UNESCO Cultural Sites of Al Ain.
