Jabal Yibir
Emirate of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates
Mountain in UAE. It sits in the Hajar mountains, the coolest part of the country and the most comfortable in the winter months.
Why visit: The Hajar range — bare limestone peaks a couple of hours from the coast, and the one place here that gets cold.
- ›Drive the switchback road to the viewpoint
- ›Walk a marked trail in the cool hours
- ›Carry far more water than feels necessary
- ›Stay for sunset — the temperature drops fast
