The terrain in the United Arab Emirates is primarily rolling sand dunes, a defining feature of the Arabian Desert. While the coastal plains are located in the south and central regions, the east is characterized by the rugged Al-Hajar Mountains.
Within the Al-Hajar Mountains, it holds the specular Jabal Yibir mountain peak. Rising proudly to an elevation of 1,934 meters (6,345 feet) above sea level, Jabal Yibir stands as the highest peak in the entire UAE, a testament to the country’s geological and topographical diversity.
