Adventure

Are you looking for some place to go during summer? Here's one for your bucket list ^___^

Jebel Haffet is a mountain located in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. It is 26 km long and 4-5 km wide. The mountain rises 1,249 m or 4, 098 ft and offers an awesome view over the city.

How long is the trip?
If you are coming from Dubai and using private car it will take around 2.5 hrs. Yes, it's a long drive so don't forget to charge your mobiles and cameras because i am sure you would love to capture the beautiful view outside...and a short reminder....don't forget your snacks ^^ .

Our Journey

So, how is it? Is it worth it to go at the Top of Jebel Hafeet?
For me, Yes..Because it's worth it to see the beautiful view from the top especially during the night. Those sparkling lights coming from the buildings, street lights and houses are enough to release your stress and feel the beauty of the place. And also i was impressed on how they constructed the roads. You can feel that you are safe while driving but make sure you'll follow the minimum speed and stay focus (tho the views are so fascinating that you can't focus. lol).There are also multiple rest stop on the way with seats that gives you a sneak peek view.

What is the temperature at the top?
Since we went there during summer the temperature is not that cold. It was 36 deg. so i suggest to go there at night during summer. But if you go during winter like last 2013, the first that i visited the mountain the temperature was around 12 degrees (gggrrrr) yeah it was so cold that you can't stay longer. So, you better wear 3 layers of jacket when you go during winter :D
