Jebel Jais mountain sightseeing tour
Enjoy a spectacular day with a view, the highest peak in the UAE. A steep climb, this route is still challenging as it takes you up to 1370m over the course of 6.5km. You’ll be surrounded by the scenery of the rocky Hajars and once you reach the top, you can admire the view gown onto the zigzag road snaking its way up the other side of the mountain. Jebel Jais is definitely the UAE’s tallest mountain and is every bit as exciting as a tall mountain should be.
