Explore Jebel Mebrah (Jebel Yibir) Mountain Trail (1,527 m), the highest peak in Fujairah, on a beginner-friendly trail that winds past farms and rocky mounds. Perfect for a sunset adventure, this hike offers golden views of the Hajar Mountains and the chance to spot the Arabian ibex.
Rich in history, Jebel Mebrah (Jebel Yibir) was once home to the Sharqiyin tribe and mapped during the Trucial States era. Today, a new mountain road makes access easier, but the hike still feels like stepping into wild heritage.
Highlights include:
•Easy, scenic trail for all levels
•Breathtaking sunset panoramas
•Wildlife sightings, including ibex
• Cultural and historical significance
