Pack a sense of adventure and get ready to immerse yourself in the rich history and incredible landscapes at the one-of-a-kind Jebel Hafit Desert Park in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi’s lush garden city about one and a half hours away from the capital.
Occupying a nine-kilometre stretch at the base of the craggy Jebel Hafit mountain, Abu Dhabi’s tallest peak, visitors can explore the family-friendly park’s majestic natural surroundings on a hike, mountain bike, horse or camel and discover fascinating archaeological and historical remains that tell enchanting stories of this unique area’s ancient habitation. Archaeological remains include remnants of the Neolithic period from 8,000 years ago, to the 5,000-year-old Jebel Hafit Tombs excavated in 1959 at the request of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founding Father of the United Arab Emirates.
Im Jahr 2011 erkannte die UNESCO die Gegend des Jebel Hafit Desert Park als wichtigen Teil der UNESCO-Weltkulturerbestätte Al Ain an – der ersten Weltkulturerbestätte der VAE.
Der Jebel Hafit Desert Park zeugt nicht nur von der reichen Geschichte der Gegend, sondern schützt auch einen einzigartigen Lebensraum, der Besucher dazu anregt, die wandelbare Landschaft aus nächster Nähe zu erkunden und zu verstehen, wie sie sich im Lauf von Jahrmillionen verändert hat.
For a memorable break that caters to travellers of different tastes, the park offers guests three camping experiences: basic camping for which you need to bring your own equipment (you’ll find inexpensive camping gear at several Al Ain and Abu Dhabi city stores); fully serviced camping, including breakfast, in a camp showcasing Bedouin (nomadic Arab people) tents, and; furnished five-star bubble glamping tents complete with air-conditioning.
