This weekend I got a last minute invitation to explore the highest mountain in the UAE: Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah. My friends know I can’t say no to last minute adventures so we grabbed some food, a blanket, a tent for the shade and a lot of water (we are still in the desert remember).
It took us about 2 hours to drive from Dubai Mall to the end of the road where we climbed the last 100 meters and enjoyed a picnic with a view that reminded me a little bit of the Grand Canyon.
Some quick facts:
- 1910 m
- coldest temperature: -3 degrees
- there has been snow in 2015
- in Ras Al Khaimah
- close to the border with Oman
- there are washrooms at the top!
If you need a micro break than add this trip to your list and let me know if you enjoyed it 🙂
