Normally when we think of UAE, we think of a desert, few people know about HAJER mountain range which spreads from north of UAE to OMAN. This mountain range is completely dry and you cannot even find a shrub in it, but it has its own beauty and attraction.
Few days ago we visited a mountain in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaima which is one of the seven emirates of UAE, its name is Jabal al Jais, jabal in arabic means mountain.
Its a place worth visiting, it has some water ponds which are extremely rare to find in UAE, road is excellent and land scape is completely different from all other places you will commonly visit in UAE.
There are not any cafe or restaurants in the area, except a small kiosk at the hill top or rather just before the top, as there is no road after this spot, but if you have a four wheel drive you can go to the top of hill. On the way to top there are few rest areas by the road side where you can park car and enjoy the fresh air and view of mountains, if you plan to do some bar b q, it is possible to do that in these spots. Water and toilets are provided and enough space is available to park car and enjoy the sit together or a bar b q.
