Jebel Hafeet is the highest mountain in UAE. The mountain actually straddles part of the border with Oman. The mountain rises 1240 meters and offers an impressive view over the cityof Al Ain. Unfortunately some bright spark allowed Mecure Hotels to build a huge hotel complex on the summit which is such a shame to spoil such natural beauty. An extensive natural cave system winds through Jebel Hafeet. It is completely devoid of any trees as is most of UAE that I have seen so far except for the extensive roadside planting and tree farms.
