Al Mubazzarah Historical Dam in Al Ain

I have previously written about the Al Mubazzarah Historical Dam in Al Ain although it was a small excerpt in Historical Al Ain. Recently we return with proper footwear and a picnic to explore a bit more.


There still appears to be some work going on as we saw wheelbarrows in neat rows.

I would love to know more about the specific rocks found here as they are quite fascinating, possibly smoothed down by an ancient river?

This would be a great place to take children along for a bit of exploring.

Picnic stations along the way up Jebel Hafeet
At the base of Jebel Hafeet there is a picnic/camping area with washrooms and, of all things, a Hardees, Krispee Kreme and another fast food restaurant. We packed a picnic though and made our way up the mountain. At the top it is cooler so bring along a jacket.

Now that the winter temperatures are upon us take sometime during the weekend and explore a bit of the UAE. Many people live here but do they actually see the outside places? The UAE is much more then Abu Dhabi and Dubai, it has nooks and crannies that are waiting to explore. Make like the National Geographic slogan and "live curious".
