Jebel Hafeet Desert Park

Rising 1,200 m, Jebel Hafeet is the UAE's second-highest peak. From the top, there are impressive views over Al Ain and Oman. The hill itself is forged out of craggy limestone that has been weathered over millions of years. Significant fossil discoveries have been made in the area. Immerse yourself in the history and nature of Jebel Hafit at the newly constructed Jebel Hafit Desert Park. Occupying a nine-kilometre stretch at the base of Jebel Hafit, visitors can enjoy the park’s natural surroundings and discover unique, fascinating archaeological and historical remains of the ancient habitation of this area. In 2011, UNESCO recognised the Jebel Hafit Desert Park area as being a vital component of the World Heritage Site of Al Ain, the UAE’s first World Heritage Site. The on-site activities include biking, hiking, horse and camel riding, buggy tour, camping experience and more.
