Hello, This mountain is terrific to spend the whole day doing BBQ, sight seeing and check the city from above. The weather is always better than the city. There is a lot of places to eat, to sit, to make BBQ, toilets as well

Its no doubt a very well built mountain track made for driving pleasure. The track has various viewpoints over Al Ain city and surrounding areas but infortuately the Govt of Abu Dhabi hasn't done anything other than building the road to the top. There are absolutely no visitor facilities on the top except two local cheap standard cafes run privately.... More

What beautiful views from the top of the mountain. The drive up with the well maintained road is a pleasure. The facilities at the top is very basic and it is a good idea to take a picnic basket with you with some refreshments. It is a pity that people are breaking off part of the fence - take a... More

The Jabal Hafeet offers a bit of lush green surroundings in an otherwise brown desert. The road to the top has many scenic waysides to stop and enjoy the view. Worth the drive, but try to go on a day other than a weekend.

On our way to the zoo in Al Ain we drove up to the top of Jebel Hafeet. The road winds many times and the drive takes a while, but road conditions are good and the bends in the road offer a variety of photo opportunities. At the top there is a large car park and paved promenade with plenty... More

During my recent trip in the first week of March 2013, I alongwith my family visited the Jabal Hafeet Top Hill Side Tourist Place. We drove from Dubai to Al Ain and this venue is in the out skirts of Al Ain. Although while driving to Al AIn, you can only see dessert at both sides, still the drive itself... More

I guess if you are from a country of variety like India - nothing will make a significant impact on you. But I understand this is a favourite picnic spot for many from the region. We drove up in the night - the road was great (supposedly one of the top 10 mountain roads in the world). On the way... More

We set aside a day in our Dubai itinerary to take a day trip so we chose to drive to Al Ain (and then to Abu Dhabi). The drive up to the top was great, with several areas to pull off and enjoy the view of the valley from several different vantage points. Amazing views from 4,300 msl, There was... More

Jabal Hafeet Mercur Hotel. That was nice pool over there. Nice rooms and breakfast... Bot the food area beside the pool, with the mountain gorgeous view looks poor, and the food is not nice at all.
