What the *** is on top of that mountain that they need such a big road for?

"The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road,[23] built in 1980, extends for 11.7 km (7.3 mi) up the mountain, rising 1,200 m (3,900 ft). With 60 turns and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), the road was called the greatest driving road in the world by Edmunds.com.[35] The road scales the mountain and ends at a parking lot with a hotel and a palace belonging to the country's rulers. Part of the climax of the Bollywood film Race was shot on the mountain. "

A lot of riders suffering in the heat now. 34C in direct sun, no shade and all around you only asphalt. Must be terrible.
