Straddling the border between Al Buraimi and the UAE's Al Ain, Jebel Al Qatar is a run of mountain slopes nicknamed the Hanging Gardens for the greenery that clings to its cliffs. Visitors come for desert safari drives through the slopes and for camping trips that take in the mountain scenery after sunset. Hiking trails wind through its gorges, making it a favourite half day escape for residents of both border towns. Its position right on the corridor between the two cities makes it an easy add on to any visit to the governorate.
