Jebel Jais, the tallest mountain in the United Arab Emirates, is a prominent peak located in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. With its highest elevation at about 1,934 meters, the mountain offers a unique and cooler climate compared to the desert below, making it a popular retreat from the heat. It's part of the Hajar mountain range, which spans the UAE and Oman. Jebel Jais is known for its stunning natural beauty and breathtaking views. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, such as hiking, camping, and the Jebel Jais Flight - the world's longest zipline as certified by Guinness World Records. There are also viewing platforms, picnic spots, and paved roads that make the mountain accessible for all. The mountain's infrastructure has been designed to blend with the natural environment, offering a serene escape. The winding road to the top provides drivers and cyclists with an exhilarating challenge and the chance to witness the diverse wildlife and rugged landscape. Jebel Jais stands as a testament to the UAE's diverse natural offerings beyond its typical reputation for luxury and urban development.
