Greatest Road - The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road
| |
|
|
Just have a look What they have created
in a desert...
The
Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the
greatest driving road in the world.
Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing
nearly 4,000 feet, it boasts 60 corners
and a surface so smooth that it would
flatter a racetrack. It could easily
be described as the eighth wonder
of the world, but almost nothing is
known about its creation.
The
road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet
mountain, the highest peak in the
United Arab Emirates , the oil-rich
Persian Gulf state. The mountain spans
the border with Oman and lies about
90 minutes' drive southeast of the
thriving city of Dubai . It looks
down upon a dusty, desert landscape
that belies a nation of astonishing
wealth.
