In the heart of the Abu Dhabi desert lies a hidden oasis, Green Mubazzarah Park. Surrounded by tall hills of dry and hard rocks, this lush green plain is a sight to behold. The spring that originates from the nearby Jebel Hafeet mountain keeps the whole area green and verdant.
Unlike regular oases, Green Mubazzarah is special for its vast grasslands. Grasslands like these are rare in deserts, and even the greenest oasis rarely has such expanses of grass lawns. These make the mountain slopes a truly beautiful sight.
The park at Green Mubazzarah is set against a backdrop of towering rocks and cliffs at Jebel Hafeet. The overall scene is one of desert oranges and yellows, with Green Mubazzarah standing out as a bright green oasis. This is definitely a place worth visiting, especially if you're already in the area to see Jebel Hafeet itself.
Green Mubazzarah is easily accessible for a weekend trip. It's located in Al Ain district in Abu Dhabi, and is only a 1.5 hour drive from either Abu Dhabi or Dubai city. If you're short on time, it's also only 10 minutes away from the Al Ain Zoo.
