Don't really know where it is, and I've never been there, but it looks goooood

Went of a little scouting mission this morning to Jebel Hafeet. Got there & realised that leathers & nuts will be required.Its a 9 km monster with 1 traffic lane down & 2 lanes up with concrete jersey barriers on each side.Plenty of parking all the way up.With a Mericure hotel almost at the top & a large parking lot with caffeteria.The view is spectacular U.A.E on one side & you can see Oman on the other
Heres some video taken in the car on the way down

I'll post the rest of the vid as soon as I upload to PB

I lived in Saudi Arabia for 12 years and so im going to have to agree with Alpha06...Arab drivers are freaking insane! About as worse as Idaho drivers.
