Dubai Day-Trip Idea: Soak in Green Mubazzarah’s Hot Springs at the Foot of Jebel Hafeet
If you are in Dubai and craving a reset that does not involve another mall or beach club, point your car toward Al Ain. Located at the foot of Jebel Hafeet, Green Mubazzarah Park is one of the most unique nature escapes in the UAE. Warm, mineral-rich spring water runs through grassy hills, creating a landscape that looks almost surreal against the rocky desert.
