Take in sweeping views from Jebel Hafeet, one of the UAE’s most impressive mountain destinations and the highest peak in Abu Dhabi. Rising above Al Ain, the mountain is known for its scenic road, rocky landscape and wide views across the city and surrounding desert. It is a strong choice for families, couples, photographers and road-trip travellers, especially around sunrise or sunset when the scenery is at its best.
Plan your Jebel Hafeet experience with Captain Dunes for convenient transport and an easier way to combine the mountain with other Al Ain Attractions. Visitors can enjoy the drive, stop at viewpoints and add nearby experiences such as Jebel Hafeet Desert Park or the ancient tombs at the mountain’s base. A pre-arranged tour is especially useful for travellers who want a smooth trip without worrying about driving or route planning.
