Jebel Jais

The Jebel Jais mountain peak is part of the spectacular Hajar mountains. The range (view) extends from Ras Al Khaimah on the eastern side of the United Arab Emirates to the Musandam Peninsula on the northeastern side of Oman. The summit has an elevation of 1,934m; it is the highest point of the UAE.

The way up to the top

We parked the car at the 1,252m Viewing Deck Park and started from there. We parked on the side of the road (it's free). Must say, we have done the drive to this point several times, but every time, it is so beautiful. 

Jais Sledder

Open since January 2022, the Jail Sledder runs on a low-slung track, stretching to 1,840 metres in length. The maximum speed is  40 km/hour and it takes about 8 minutes to get down. It is a very very cool ride!!
