      "Followed road with GPS watch described here: http://jpsuae.com/JPsUAE/Hiking/Entries/2012/11/17_Hiking_-_Jebel_Hafeet_1160m.html Started at 10.15, reached the peak on the UAE side, near the border fence at 15.15, calm pace. Needed headlights on the descent. Use GPS track as teh route is hard to follow. Thereare some cairns, but only on the bottom portion of the track until the cave (about 2/3rds up the way). You need to go into the cave below large rock, then turn to the right inside the cave. Not possible to go over the border fence, so when you reach below the fence, scale the small wall (about 2-3m vertical), then turn to the left and go stragiith up to the smaller peak (with the bush on the top). From there to reach the main peak at 1100m, you need to swerve to the right around the peak with the bush, then go stragith up in the rock rubble. then turn to the right and cross through the window to see the main peak. Then go stragith up, next othe ancient (5000 year old!) small huts (about 1 m in height). Remember to take flashlight. For the entire route, from the beginning, do not cross to the right side of the valley all the way up, stay on the left. In one place (at 550m altit..." — csaladenes • Jan 29, 2016
      "A more detailed trip report since there is not a lot of beta on this summit out there: Planned this for a stop-over in Dubai on my way to Tanzania. Rented a car at DBX and stayed in Ajman. Woke up early for a roughly 2.5 hour drive to the trailhead, using the driving map found on Everytrail and basically dropping a pin in my GPS on the unnamed road. The road towards the peak was in amazing condition and they are actively building it. It was completed to roughly the saddle with the 1500m summit with the communications tower. From there I hiked the rough 4x4 road several hours to the summit, using basic topo maps I printed off google. The road eventually leads past the Sheik's summer home, which may be why a lot of money is being dumped into this remote road. After the Sheik's home the road becomes worse, but the summit is not much further and can be hiked cross country easily. The true high point of the UAE is actually the western false summit of Jabal Bil'Ays, and a summit cairn marks this. An international boundary marker lies just east of the true high point, and the true summit lies within Oman, which I of course tagged. From there I stared for a long time at Jabal el Harim, the..." — Christopher • Apr 2, 2014
      "Drove with my son up the fairly new Jebel Jais road, to the flat camping area. Parked there around sunset time and walked the steep, powdery red dirt road toward the Sheikh's place and the summit. I carried quite heavy for the night's camping, my 6 year old son trotted ahead with a camelback. Did second half in the dark, but once you reach around the ruler's place there's a bit of lighting around a small runway and later a stone/ concrete walkway from his house all the way to the high point in the UAE, with a large concrete majlis sitting area. We pitched camp on a flat spot and hiked the nearby summit the next morning (see image). We crossed the oman border and hiked up to the highest point. The cliff offers a spectacular vantage point toward the RAK coast. I hiked late because Dubai was still very warm, but this altitude gave us a good chill. It's a shame it's fenced off now. I would like to go again. Andrew Jennings" — andrewjennings • Oct 17, 2013
