  • UAE ROCK CLIMBING Five Years Later - an Update
    UAE ROCK CLIMBING five years later - an update 1 UAE Rock Climbing - 2015 update INTRODUCTION pages 6 - 17 Information and Updates The web forum at uaeclimbing.com is no longer in active use. Various Facebook groups exist. Of these, "Real UAE Rock Climbers" is the most credible. It is a closed group - apply to join. Accidents The advice given in the guidebook on accident procedure is still broadly correct. Regrettably the UAE has still not implemented a national rescue service. Abu Dhabi emirate has helicopters with paramedics available but these would not necessarily be available in other emirates. One observation from a serious incident in Oman in 2010 is that it may be hard to direct local police to an accident location. Carrying GPS equipment and knowing how to communicate GPS coordinates would be helpful in those situations. Visiting climbers should of course make sure they have medical insurance. Climbing Walls Two major resources have appeared since the guidebook: Rock Republic in Dubai and the wall at Sorbonne University in Abu Dhabi. The latter has a private registration process. Instruction Courses The advice given in the guidebook on instruction is out of date. Ask for the latest situation at "Real UAE Rock Climbers". 2 UAE Rock Climbing - 2015 update KHASAB pages 23 - 27 Access situation: No substantial change Route development since the guidebook: Nothing new at Khasab Beach. A very strong North Face sponsored team (Alex Honnold, Hazel Findlay, others) toured the Musandam peninsula in a catamaran, recording some mountain routes on Jebel Letub near Sibi village and elsewhere. Also one multi-pitch seacliff route and some DWSing.

The peninsula plays a critical geopolitical role in the Arab world due to its vast reserves of oil and natural gas. The most populous cities on the Arabian Peninsula are Riyadh, Dubai, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuwait City, Sanaʽa, and Mecca. Before the modern era, it was divided into four distinct regions: Red Sea Coast (Tihamah), Central Plateau (Al-Yamama), Indian Ocean Coast (Hadhramaut) and Persian Gulf Coast (Al-Bahrain).

  • Weekend Trip to Jebel Hafeet with Aston Martin Vantage S
    Weekend Trip to Jebel Hafeet with Aston Martin Vantage S Every month a new trip will be uploaded to this site: enjoy! This trip is on tarmac to the garden city of Al Ain, for a relaxing picnic at the Green Mubazzarah park and an exhilarating drive up one of the world’s most famous mountain roads. The 12 km strip of tarmac up Jebel Hafeet is like a F1 track up a mountain – a motorsports enthusiast’s wet dream. Many have tackled it, some officially, such as Emirati rally legend Mohammed bin Sulayem, who set a record of a 7 km segment with its 22 corners in 3 minutes and 39 seconds setting a benchmark time (and now sadly imitated by every crazy driver and his cousin). Edmunds.com called it the world’s greatest driving road, and TV Show Fifth Gear featured an adrenalin-pumping sprint up. But… sorry to all… try it in an Aston Martin sports car! Feel the “Bond”!!! copyright Paolo Rossetti, ask first for reproduction of contents (text, photos, etc.) - [email protected] | 1 Weekend Trip to Jebel Hafeet with Aston Martin Vantage S Jebel Hafeet road climbs 1249 meters and offers an impressive view over Al Ain city and the desert in the distance. Jebel Hafeet is the UAE's best-known natural landmark, of importance throughout the area's history and now is developed as a contemporary tourist attraction. An extensive natural cave system snakes underground through Jebel Hafeet and natural hot water springs emerge at its foot. It is often incorrectly labelled the UAE's highest mountain, but it actually is the second-highest peak.

  • Weekly Curriculum Planner
    WEEKLY CURRICULUM PLANNER LESSON I THE MAIN GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF UAE GRADE IX UAE LO: Recognize the main geographic features of the UAE and determine their impact on people, ecosystems, and economies. Location The United Arab Emirates , sometimes simply called the Emirates, is a country in Western Asia located at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Oman and Saudi Arabia, and has maritime borders in the Persian Gulf with Qatar and Iran. The Geography of the United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates stretches south from the Arabian Gulf with a land consisting of three geographical zones: (1) a flat, barren, low-lying area with a mixture of sandy desert, gravel, and salt flats (2) rolling sand dunes that expand from the coast to the south of the country and blend into the Empty Quarter(Al-Rub-Al-Khali) (3) part of the Al-Hajar Mountain Range, which the UAE shares with the Sultanate of Oman on the Musandam Peninsula. The UAE has two coastlines: the Arabian Gulf Coast, and a shorter coast that extends on the Gulf of Oman. The UAE has many islands. In particular, the emirate of Abu Dhabi has more than 200 islands. Mountains The highest points in the UAE are mountains, like Jebel Jais (1,934m), Jebel Yibir (1,927m), and Jebel Hafeet (1,240m), although the summit of Jebel Jais lies in the territory of Musandam. In Dubai, there is the iconic waterway known as Dubai Creek, or Khor Dubai. WEEKLY CURRICULUM PLANNER Oases Oases add life to barren areas and create many different ecosystems in the UAE.

  • Mountain World Activity the UAE Mountains & Their Animals Mountain World Activity the UAE Mountains & Their Animals
    Mountain World Activity the UAE Mountains & their Animals Mountain World Activity The UAE Mountains & their Animals In this activity your students will be looking into the animals that live in the mountain regions of the UAE, using the environment around Jebel Hefeet near Al Ain as an example. There are many animals that call this mountain home, and a lot of them are endangered or at risk. Your students will find out more about these animals and what they can do to help. In this activity you and your students will: ▶ Learn about the mountain regions of the UAE and the animals that live there. ▶ Find out which animals are endangered and what your students can do to help. ▶ Create a poster or collage to increase awareness of these animals and conservation efforts around them. ▶ Create a card game they can use to encourage other students to find out more about the animals they’ve learned about. Objectives Carrying out this activity will help students learn about the unique animals that call the mountains of the UAE home. They will also learn about some of the threats facing these animals, and what conservation efforts are in progress to help save them. You can also ask your class to create a collage of mountain regions featuring the animals they’ve learned about, a poster to raise awareness of conservation efforts, and a playable card game. These will allow your students to get creative and inventive, test their knowledge of the animals they’ve learned about, and encourage them to spread the knowledge they’ve learned with their peers, parents and guardians.

  • Neolithic Period, North-Western Saudi Arabia
    NEOLITHIC PERIOD, NORTH-WESTERN SAUDI ARABIA Khalid Fayez AlAsmari PhD UNIVERSITY OF YORK ARCHAEOLOGY SEPTEMBER 2019 Abstract During the past four decades, the Neolithic period in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) had received little academic study, until recently. This was due to the previous widely held belief that the Arabian Peninsula had no sites dating back to this time period, as well as few local researchers and the scarcity of foreign research teams. The decline in this belief over the past years, however, has led to the realisation of the importance of the Neolithic in this geographical part of the world for understanding the development and spread of early farming. As well as gaining a better understanding of the cultural attribution of the Neolithic in KSA, filling the chronological gaps in this historical era in KSA is vital, as it is not well understood compared to many neighbouring areas. To address this gap in knowledge, this thesis aims to consider whether the Northwest region of KSA was an extension of the Neolithic developments in the Levant or an independent culture, through presenting the excavation of the Neolithic site of AlUyaynah. Despite surveys and studies that have been conducted in the KSA, this study is the first of its kind, because the site "AlUyaynah", which is the focus of this dissertation, is the first excavation of a site dating back to the pre-pottery Neolithic (PPN). Therefore, the importance of this study lies in developing an understanding of Neolithic characteristics in the North-Western part of the KSA. Initially, the site was surveyed and then three trenches were excavated to study the remaining levels of occupation.
