Camping in RAK - Jebel Yebir with clouds.

[derik]

I had a wonderful camping experience lately with my friends who knew one of the hidden spot in RAK mountain named Jebel Yebir - I guess it's the highest mountain in the UAE, as it climbs close to 1365 meter as per watch altitude till the top.

You can't or shouldn't go right at the top as there is a military base and you should return when you start seeing "Photography Prohibited" signboard.

Google Maps Link: https://goo.gl/maps/21dm5jsEy832 to the start of the road, go here and turn right and follow the road till the top of the mountain and keep looking left and right for little kacha tracks to find a good camping spot.

Even for a drive this place is awesome, much better and steep than Jebel Hafeet (Al Ain). However only for 4x4 is advisable, as the climb is tarmac but little area before above coordinate goes thru quite a bit loose gravel and bit rocky terrain for 4-5 kms.

Do you have a camping spot GPS coordinate?
