Jebel Jais, it’s not just an altitude, it’s an attitude.
Live the landmark—Jebel Jais is the pinnacle of high mountain living. Our imposing height and breathtaking views draw people in, but it’s the Jais attitude that makes them stay. It’s inspiring, it’s rugged, it’s real. Whether you're chasing thrills, enjoying a well-deserved get-away, or simply relaxing and taking in the views, Jebel Jais is where the UAE resets, explores and reconnects.
Renowned as the region’s adventure capital and featured in Conde Nast Traveller ME’s UAE Destination to Watch 2024, CNN Travel’s best destinations to visit in 2023 and Time magazine’s World’s Greatest Places of 2022, Jebel Jais is located in the northern Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and part of the Hajar mountain range.
Jebel Jais stands at 1,934 metres, making it the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates, but height is only part of its story. Jebel Jais has one of the region’s most dramatic landscapes, shaped by more than 70 million years of geological change. It’s soaring peaks, rock faces and trails contribute to making Jebel Jais one of the premier extreme sport and adventure destinations in all of the Middle East. Conversely, the mountain is a place of quiet inspiration. The fresh air, peaceful stillness and sweeping vistas as far as the eye can see provide a welcome respite to urban life—inviting you to embrace a slower pace—reset, explore, and reconnect.
As you drive upward, the temperature drops, the terrain shifts, and your perspective of the world begins expanding off into the horizon. As you increase in altitude, so does your perception of shifting mountain silhouettes, commanding views and fresh-aired clarity. The Jais attitude is open, accommodating, rugged yet refined—combining nature, culture, heritage, and the love of adventure all in one place.
Thanks to its cooler climate, Jebel Jais supports a surprising variety of life. You will find native trees like wild fig and sidr, wild herbs, seasonal blooms, and a range of animals including mountain foxes, goats, and rare birds. Ancient rock carvings and remnants of old settlements reveal that people have been connected to this mountain for thousands of years. It has been a shelter, a path, and a part of their way of life.
With offerings that inspire serenity as well as those that deliver a healthy rush of adrenaline, Jebel Jais is the perfect place to reconnect—with nature, the outdoors and with each other.
