Jebel Hafeet
Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Jebel Hafeet towers over Al Ain in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as the emirate's highest peak at 1,249 meters and the UAE's second-tallest mountain, formed from ancient limestone layers thrust up millions of years ago along the Hajar range near the Oman border.
Its dramatic eastern escarpment drops sharply into wadis while the gentler western slopes host over 500 Bronze Age tombs from 5,000 years ago, hot springs like Ain al-Gheit, and diverse wildlife amid acacia groves and fossil-rich outcrops.
The famed 11.7-km asphalt road with 60 hairpin turns climbs 1,200 meters to a summit hotel and palace, offering epic sunrise-sunset panoramas of Al Ain oasis and desert, popular for drives, hikes, and paragliding.
