Climb, Climb up Sunshine Mountain.....

On Friday or was that Saturday (I don't remember), we took a drive up to the top of Jebel Hafeet near Al Ain with our neighbors Jenna and Allan.   It's a very pretty view from the top and you can look over the sandy desert, Oman (a country that borders the UAE) and the city of Al Ain which is where we live.

Jebel Hafeet is a mountain primarily in the United Arab Emirates on the outskirts of Al Ain. The mountain actually straddles part of the border with Oman. The mountain rises 1240 meters and offers an impressive view over the city. Jebel Hafeet was a well-known landmark throughout the area's history and is a contemporary tourist attraction. An extensive natural cave system winds through Jebel Hafeet.


 
This is Jenna and Allan. They met in Kenya when Jenna was working
for a CURE hospital there.  They have been great neighbors and
so helpful this first week!
