My entry for this Week’s Photo Challenge: The Road Taken
I have always been fascinated to click pictures of the road that lays ahead or passed by while I am sitting in the passenger seat of the moving vehicle. These pictures are from our Barbecue picnic outing with friends in the month of January 2017 to the Jabal Al Jais mountains in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. We have to crisscross through the mountains to reach to the point at the top until where the road is open for public use, construction is still seen in progress further up this point.
The Jais mountain is part of the Hajar mountain range bordering Oman. The tallest part of the Hajar mountain range lies in the neighboring Oman and the Jais mountain is the second largest of it that lies in the UAE.
This is the view from one of the mountain top that we had hiked to after parking the car at the end of the motor-able road that is open to public. The view is breathtakingly beautiful to see from here; the cotton candy clouds, the sun rays giving a golden glow, the blue clear skies and the chilling winter air that sends a shiver through us, it indeed was a beautiful long drive that is worth driving on.

don’t you find yourself wondering how the heck they ever get these kinds of roads built?! We have family visiting Oman and they said it’s been fascinating. Excellent post.

Thank you Tina, glad to see your comment :).
Oh yes, this place sure makes us marvel at all the the man-made structures that I happen to see here in the UAE (particularly Dubai), including the road to Jabal Hafeet.
And yes we do see the same mountainous part in Oman too, Musandam in Oman is a beautiful place to visit and camp.
