Winding mountain road up Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah Mountains 4.9
Duration9 – 10 Hours
Pickup8:00 AM (flexible)
PriceAED 799 / car
Rating4.9 / 5

Overview

Ras Al Khaimah combines dramatic mountains, old forts and quiet beaches – a perfect contrast to Dubai’s skyline. The day’s highlight is the drive up Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the UAE, where the air is cooler and the viewpoints look out over the Hajar range.

You will also climb to the hilltop Dhayah Fort, explore the National Museum of Ras Al Khaimah inside an old fort, and walk through the abandoned pearl-diving village of Al Jazirah Al Hamra. End the day on the Corniche and Al Marjan Island before returning to Dubai.

Perfect for

  • Mountain lovers
  • Adventure seekers

Tip from our desert team

Bring a light jacket – the top of Jebel Jais is often 10°C cooler than the coast, even in summer.
