Mebrah to Jebel Harf Tila hike (One way Hike.
Jebel Harf Tila mountain peak at 1582 meters above sea level is one of the seven top peaks in UAE.
Jebel Harf Tila summit hosts an Omani – UAE Border marker pole with serial number 22.
There are 2 summits almost at the same elevation.
The peak with the border marker is about 20 meters higher than the other peak.
Very scenic hike that goes on well established, stable and visible paths walked for centuries by mountain communities.
This trail that we hiked is about 90% is on a well visible safe trail.
The last push to the Harf Tila summit is bit rough with no trail, but with stable terrain of soil and rocks.
There are 3 routes to reach Jebel Harf Tila.
Below I am sharing the routes and trails on wikiloc.
1. From Wadi Naqab, Sheri village, Samarat farmlands and Harf Tila.

This is a longer one way route, but you could reach the summit and return back to avoid logistics.
3. From Yibir (Mebrah) mountain via Durdur village and Harf Tila.
This present trail. The easiest one with much lesser elevation gain and on safer visible well made trails.
To hike this trail, you need to drive all the way to the top of Mebrah / Yibir mountain in Taween area.
The last section of about 6 Kms road is very steep and need a strong car.
When we hiked this hike in early December 2023, the road was in the last phase of reconstruction and we had to take permissions to reach to our starting point.
Soon this road construction will complete.
We parked here and started our hike.

Within 150 meters of following our walk, you will be on a well visible established trail that will take you towards Durdur village in the left side and you walk further on the trail all the way.
In the midway, you will also see Jebel Yibir in the left side, there is no trail to go to its peak, its bit rough.
This trail is straight forward route to Harf Tila without any deviations to any other summits.
We continued on the trail all the way and soon we got the view of Double peaked Jebel Harf Tila in front of us.
Soon we reached the base of the summit section.
The trail continues to the Sili village at bit lower elevation.
We took rightwards to the summit on the mountain surface without any trail and soon reached the summit section of Harf Tila at 1582 meters elevation.
You also have occasional viewpoints to view Dibba Musandam areas occasionally.
This is the ONLY peak in UAE from where you can see all the 7 tallest peaks of UAE.
1. Jebel Jais.
2. Jebel Rahabah.
3. Jebel Qadaah.
4. Jebel Yabana.
5. Jebel Yibir.
6. Jebel Tafif / Surem / Salli
7. Jebel Harf Tila
Once you have enjoyed your great views after the hard climb, you can return back the same way.
