Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's most mountainous emirate and its adventure capital. This 4x4 mountain safari takes you off-road through the dramatic Hajar mountain range — past ancient villages, through rocky wadis, and up to the breathtaking heights of Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest mountain at 1,934 metres.
Navigate rugged terrain with our experienced driver-guides, stop at traditional Emirati mountain villages, and experience wadi crossings that feel a world away from the gleaming towers of Dubai. The views from the summit are extraordinary — on clear days, you can see across four Emirates and into Oman.
The tour concludes at the world's longest zipline launch platform at Jebel Jais Flight (zipline activity is an optional add-on).

The mountain road to Jebel Jais closes in fog or severe weather. A fleece or jacket is recommended as temperatures at the summit can be significantly cooler than at sea level.
