3 more pins on my map as we conquered Al Ain! days ago.
1. Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort
”In a unique desert setting on the edge of Al Ain is a place for people to come and learn about arid land wildlife and conservation through vivid, first hand experience.”
It also offers their toilets to people who come just in time for closing hours.
But at least I set foot inside the gates…
And made friends with this lion that reminded me of my dear old friend in Kennon Road.
2. Hili Fun City
”Packed with thrilling rides and adventures for children of all ages, this is the destination for outdoor family fun in the UAE for the past 25 years.”
I felt like a super excited kid beside my daddy.
3. Jebel Hafeet Mountain
”The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road extends for 7.3 mi (11.7 km) up the mountain, rising 4,000 ft (1,219 m). With 21 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), the immaculate road was called the greatest driving road in the world by Edmunds.com.”
The spectacular view going up.
I wonder why my driver is camera shy. How can he deprive the world of such beauty? Haha.
So I just take a photo of me instead. Sariling Sikap!
This is what greets you at the top of the mountain.
It was freakingly freezing cold!
The view from the top.
The last shot before the cam fell to the ground and played dead.

Here’s a raw video of the drive. Nothing super exciting just the fact that I had an amusing driver.

He’s just wearing a shirt coz i’m wearing his jacket. haha. I’m the stupid one for not bringing my own. but yeah, he has a high tolerance for coldness. or ako lang talaga ang lamigin sobra. sayang nga, i’m not a real photographer…the sites were breathtaking!
Yeap, it’s the radio/CD playing. Wala pa nga akong alam e. Parang Gregorian chant na may beat kasi ang Arabic, para akong mawawala sa tono. haha.

Gabi ba naman at December! Syempre malamig, hindi ba? Well your “driver” is only wearing a t-shirt so either he’s inured to the cold or foolish, too. LOL.
Thanks for seeing the sites and documenting. I like playing armchair tourist.
