The Hot Springs
Located on the foothills of Jebel Hafeet, this picnic spot is just under a 2-hour drive from Dubai. Once you are there, start by taking a dip in the hot natural mineral springs. It is an experience like no other. Often the fast-paced lifestyle takes a toll on our physical and mental well-being, making us feel lethargic. Plenty of people spend their time here to escape from the bustle of the city.
Taking a dip in natural ‘hot’ spring water not only is a wonderful de-stressing activity, but it also has some amazing benefits for your body. It is said that it aids those suffering from ailments such as rheumatism and other orthopaedic issues. The water coming from the top of the mountain is cold, however, by the time it arrives here, it gets a bit warm. A word of caution, check the temperature before going in as the hot water can cause minor discomfort at the beginning.
Green Mubazzarah Park is an ideal recreation area for families. The 1.6 million square metres of greenery offers an awe-inspiring view of the mountain range and easy access to streams and hot water springs. You can come here with your friends and family and just relax for a while. The natural clean air would energise you in a moment.
In the background, there are the humongous rocks of Jebel Hafeet. The whole area from afar looks rustic, with this Green Mubazzarah Park Al Ain standing out like a glorious green patch.
