Photography - Jebal Hafeet - AL AIN - UAE


Recently, I got the chance to click some pictures at Jebal Hafeet in Al Ain (UAE). Few of you might find the place familiar as the movie Race (Saif, Akshay Khanna, Katrina, Bipasha) was shooted here. The scenes in the end of the movie when Saif & Akshay are racing, is shooted at this locale.
I will quote Wikipedia here to tell you more about this place -
"Jabel Hafeet is a mountain primarily in the United Arab Emirates on the outskirts of Al Ain. The mountain actually straddles part of the border with Oman. The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road extends for 7.3 mi (11.7 km) up the mountain, rising 4000 ft (1219 m). With 21 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), the immaculate road was called the greatest driving road in the world by Edmunds.com. The road scales the mountain and ends at a parking lot with only a hotel and a palace belonging to the country's rulers. Part of the Climax of the Bollywood film RACE was shot in the Jabel Hafeet mountain."

    Thanks!

    Ya bro, these are from my new camera... Yup, the B&W one is pretty awesome, lot of far off details are pretty clear, though as you rightly said, a bit grainy in full res.

    I personally like the last one with the railings... I think thats the best of all.

    Will post few more soon.
