Green Mubazzarah



Alex Madeleine and I have made a habit of having picnics on Saturday evenings. Fleur from our company told me about Green Mubazzarah which is a park in Al Ain and all the things you can do there. With my family coming to Al Ain in December we decided to check it out as a family activity and do the picnic thing. Green Mubazzarah is at the foot of our mountain Jebal Haffet. They have built a wee luge, so first activity in the park was onto the luge. 5 AED a ride, and it was real cool fun. Not a long course, and you can't get a high speed up, but fun all the same. Then we went to the hot springs. There is hot water coming out of the ground and running down the channels. As Madeleine can testify the water was hot! There are covered, segregated hot pools like Hanmer so next time we'll bring our bathing attire. Green Mubazzarah is a wee thermal oasis in the middle of a desert, made into a park and very popular with families. A real green wee gem in this sandy sub continent. I can't wait to go again, so family bring yr 5 AED's.

P'raps they could channel the hot water to heat the Al Ain houses?
What! Why not? Seems like a good idea to me!

Do the Al Ain houses need heating?!!!!
Very cheap at 5 AED = NZ$1.73. AT that price you can go often!
