Jais mountain spectaculer viewAt 1900 m, Jebel Jais is UAE’s tallest mountain. this is my second overnight stay in Jais mountain in a year. It is wonderful experience and love this place. Best place for overnight camping with family and friends. Take care of children from the edge where loose stones are after big parking lot,
Carry all necessary
items with you like water, foods as There
are no restaurants. Fill your car gas for return trip as there is no gas
station on the mountain. following items must carry with you if planning for
overnight stay. Enough tents, bed, table chairs, warm clothing’s. Fire wood for
whole night. BBQ equipment’s. Torches, rechargeable lights etc.

On the way |
It is about 159 KM from Dubai through Shaikh
Mohammad bin Zayed road. Take right to Khuzam road from Shaikh Mohammad bin
Zayed road, tower link golf club will be at your left hand side, go straight to
Lantern R/A (near Saqar and RAK Hospital). After the lantern round about you
will find a small board sign with Jais mountain. Keep driving till you are
close to the mountains. The roads are not clearly marked and you will
definitely go over stretches of dirt roads some time. road is very nicely made 2
lane going up and 1 lane down.
Nice winding road, good views, drive I like on this road therefore
I have visited this spot several times. I appreciate very much for this road
work, one of my favorite driving place in UAE.
Be sure that you have
reached before sun set to see spectacular sky view and enough time to choose
camp site with washroom facilities. Thanks to RAK municipality for well
maintain of free toilets on mountain. For your information now a days someone
is selling tea on the last parking area.
