Travel Tips: All Around UAE (Phase 2)

So here we go again with some of the places I personally recommend. 

4. Jebel Hafeet - Al Ain
A mountain located in Al Ain. Part of the mountain straddles the border with Oman, while the summit is located wholly within United Arab Emirates (wikipedia). Considered to be the second to the highest mountain of UAE. If you would like to try a new level of adventure, you can bring your bicycle with you and ride your bicycle until you reach the summit. Just make sure that you have enough strength and lots of water to hydrate you. On the other hand, common mode of transportation is by car. Just make sure that you have enough petrol before you climb the mountain.

 5. Jabal Jais - Ras Al Khaimah
Considered as the tallest mountain of UAE located in Ras Al Khaimah. This is the only place in UAE that has snow during winter. Unlike Jebel Hafeet, the road going to the top doesn't have street lights at all. So if you would like to go on camping, make sure to climb before sundown. In order for you to reach the summit of Jabal Jais, you have to climb it manually so make sure you will wear the most comfortable clothes & footwear. Piece of advise, if you are planning to climb the summit, bring lots of water.

6. Lulu Island - Abu Dhabi
A man-made island off the coast of Abu Dhabi Island. This island is already closed long time ago. However, this area is still good for fishing, grilling and swimming. The boats are available at Mina Port for 250 AED (boats operated by Blue Shark) with the capacity of 13-15 persons. If you would like to go on grilling, you can buy all types of sea food at Mina Fish Market for very affordable price. Just make sure to bring all the grilling materials with you. There's no store inside the island, so make sure to buy ice, disposable utensils, etc. at the nearest supermarket.
