Jabal Yibir

Jabal Yibir is a high mountain pass in the Hajar Mountains of the United Arab Emirates, located at an elevation of 1,527m (5,010 ft) above sea level. The path to the top is paved. The highest point and the tallest named mountain are two separate locations. Jebel Yibir is the highest mountain or peak in the UAE. The highest point in the UAE, however, is a peak on a mountain slope on Jebel Jais. The genuine top of Jebel Jais, however, lies in Oman. Jebel Yibir is at 1,527 meters, whereas Jebel Hafeet stands at 1,240 meters.

Because there is a telecommunications tower and a military post at the summit, and the entrance is limited, private automobiles can drive up to approximately 1,300m above sea level. With all of those steep and quirky hairpin twists, the journey up to the military checkpoint is incredible. The descent is much more enjoyable. The temperature at the summit is approximately 15 degrees Celsius colder than on the plains. While the peak of Jebel Yibir is inaccessible, you may still drive up to 1,350m to breathe in the fresh air and take in the stunning panoramic views.
