At approximately 1,934 metres, Jebel Jais is the highest peak in the UAE, rising from the northern Hajar range in Ras Al Khaimah emirate. A paved mountain road ascends through successive bands of rock strata to viewpoints offering panoramas across Oman and the Gulf of Oman on clear days. The summit plateau is dramatically cold compared to the coast in winter, often approaching freezing overnight.
