Jebel Hafeet (“empty mountain”) is a mountainous ridge some 16 miles (26 km) long that is the only mountain in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It lies south of the city of Al Ain near the border with the neighboring Sultanate of Oman. The road to the top of the mountain reaches some 3900 feet (1200 m) above the surrounding desert area, and the ridge is comprised largely of limestone, evaporites and other shallow marine sedimentary rocks. A series of natural caves is widely scattered throughout Jebel Hafeet. Unauthorized collecting is forbidden.
