Jebel Hafeet

We took a little day trip down to Al Ain this Saturday to check out Jebel Hafeet. Though it is not the highest point in the country, it is definitely the highest point anywhere nearby. There is a road that goes to the top where you can see some pretty nice views (on a clear day).  I was not too impressed with it - especially the amount of trash and general unkempt look of the roadway. It was one of those things that you just have to do while you're here though, so we went. There is a hotel at the top as well as a little convenience store. Outside there are some very old looking kiddie rides and a few pathetic games.

Quick stop on the way up

There is a palace at the top

The coffee shop was closed, but we were able to get some ice cream and water at the little convenience store.

Who would play this game?! All there was to grab was old foam squares and a really old looking watch.

Elise on one of the rides! (Don't worry, it's not moving...she's not old enough for that, yet!)

The road to the palace: "No Admisition"
