JEBEL JAIS, UAE'S TALLEST MOUNTAIN

Jebel Jais stands at about 1.9 kilometers above sea level, making it the UAE's highest peak. It is located in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

The views are stunning. To a lot of people, it is the perfect getaway to forget the hustle and bustle of the city without spending a fortune.

We went there during the cold season so it was foggy and raining. Visibility was poor and we had to drive carefully but that was part of the adventure.

There are no commercial establishments in place yet, but these attractions are currently being planned. So as of now, there are now temptations to spend money around, but the views are priceless.

It is not just the destination, but the journey is really stunning. Makes me love the natural wonders of the UAE even more.

Legoland Water Park

Legoland Water Park is the newly opened attraction located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.  It is around 45-minutes of driving along Sheikh Zayed Road heading towards Abu Dhabi if you live in residential areas like Deira or Bur Dubai.

It is full of exciting water slides and activities for children and adults alike and surely worth a visit.

After a tram ride from the visitor's parking area, guests are treated with beautiful scenery around the French Village, even before entering the gate.

At the gate, you just know you are going to some place exciting.

   We came really early, just before opening time at 10:30 to avoid the rush. It feels a bit serene, but as minutes pass by, the excitement would build up.

Kids wouldn't be able to hide their excitement upon seeing these slides.

Families also like to gather around and spend time in the wave pool.

The whole park is safe, but has something to offer even to those who want a bit of adrenaline rush.


But perhaps, for an urban working man who want a quite time to get away, there is enough cabanas where one can simply watch time go by.
