People close to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and its surrounding emirates must be familiar with the mesmeric Al Hajar mountain ranges but for people in the rest of the world, a trip to #JebelHafeet is a privilege. 

The Jebel Hafeet is a mountain range in the #Tawam region located on the border of Oman & UAE. The climate is typical of the desert but due to the altitude, you can experience some breeze. Here you can also locate the elusive #ArabianTahr, an endangered, elusive, stocky mountain goat native to the #Hajr region.

Located 1300m high above MSL (mean sea level), a drive to the mountain top is along a winding, scenic panorama which will leave you bedazzled. Although the whole of UAE is dotted with mountains, caves, streams, a few beaches, and heritage locales, this one perched remotely in Al Ain will surely impress you to curate it in your blog or a journal. A trip to Jebel Hafeet is one of the most beautiful experiences for any Emirati and expatriate alike. This mountain range borders Oman and you can rejig your tour by buying an Omani visa and car insurance in advance if you plan to do so. The closest Omani town is Al Buraimi & Nizwa. But right now let's focus our attention on a UAE resident or a visit visa traveler on a sojourn to Jebel Hafeet.
