Jabal Rahabah
Jabal Rahabah (Arabic: جبل رحبة, romanized: Jabal Raḩabah), is a peak in the Hajar Mountains, northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. At 1,543 m (5,062 ft), it is one of the highest peaks in the UAE, located entirely within the territory of the Emirates
Between Jabal Rahabah (1,543 m (5,062 ft)) and Jabal ar Rahrah (1,691 m (5,548 ft)), the highest peak in the country, there is an important ridge of 5 km (3.1 mi) in length, called Jabal ar Raḩraḩ Ridge, which delimits the drainage divide between those that flow towards the Wadi Ghalilah and the Wādī Shāh or Wadi Shehah, through their respective tributaries.
On the eastern slope of Jabal Rahabah, currently badly damaged by the construction of a wide road, flow intermittent streams and small ravines and wadis tributaries of Wadi Jib, which in turn is a tributary of Wādī Shāh or Wadi Shehah; and on the western slope it forms the Wadi Rahabah / Raḩbah, which flows directly into the Persian Gulf.
At the top of Jabal Rahabah there is currently a communications antenna, but it is perfectly accessible by following a pedestrian path towards the southwest that starts from Rahabah North Col 1,223 m (4,012 ft), where there are currently installed viewpoints and a service area, commercially identified with the name Viewing Deck Park.
The geographical area of Jabal Rahabah was historically populated by the tribe Bani Shatair (Arabic: بني شطير), one of the two main sections of the Shihuh seminomadic tribe, which occupied, among other territories, the Shihuh tribal area Bani Bakhit.
Jabal Rahabah is the fifth highest peak in United Arab Emirates, located 7.2 km (4.5 mi) to the west of Jebel Jais / Jabal Bil 'Ays (1,911 m (6,270 ft)), whose summit is, however, in the Musandam Governorate, in the Sultanate of Oman
Jabal Rahabah's altitude may seem modest when compared to mountainous locations in other parts of the world, but considering that much of the country has predominantly flat relief, Jabal Rahabah represents a notable exception.
In this sense, the highest mountains in the Emirates, located entirely within its territory, or with its peak located exactly on the border with Oman, are the following:
