Jabal yibir 2nd highest mountain of uae
Jabal Yibir (Arabic: جبل يبر) is a 1,527 m (5,010 ft) tall mountain in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located in the Hajar Mountains near 25°38′54″N 56°7′45″E. Jabal Yibir has a prominence of around 300m from its parent peak, Jebel Qihwi, which is on the other side of the border in Musandam, Oman. The highest point in the UAE is Jebel Jais (Ras Al Khaimah) at about 1,910 m just across the border from Jabal Bil Ays, also in Musandam, meaning that Jabal Yibir is not the highest point but the highest peak in the UAE.

A military station is located on the summit making the peak out of access, however an asphalt road has been built up from wadi tawian to within 400m of the military station, around 100 m (328 feet) below, with many villages along the sides and tracks continuing further into the mountains.
