A construct novel route amongst 2 ascending lanes in addition to 1 descending, it seems a puzzle why at that spot should last such a nifty route upward this fairly remote mountain; there is alone the Jebel Hafeet Hotel... But in addition to thence almost at the overstep you lot find there is a rather grand palace. 
At the summit you lot tin halt for refreshments at the rather dilapidated Top of Hafeet Mountain Cafe. The house has clearly seen amend days. 
And at that spot is a real impressive develop of railings to cling to equally you lot admire the vertigo-inducing view!
There's fifty-fifty a tourist data signal that tells you lot nigh the local archaeology. I spent the whole of my trip downwards examining the rocks for signs of tombs. That's when I wasn't clinging on for dearest life in addition to squealing of course! While we were at the overstep I noticed a few of these pocket-size sparrow-like birds. I looked them upward when I got domicile in addition to I intend they may last Striolated Buntings.
Very pretty!
