Jebel Jais

The roof of the Emirates: 1,934 metres of hairpin roads and viewing decks in Ras Al Khaimah, home to the world's longest zipline and temperatures ten degrees cooler than the coast.
We run Jebel Jais journeys as a 10-hour cross-emirate charter — mountain-road driving our chauffeurs know well, viewing-deck stops on the way up, and zipline slots booked ahead if you are brave. Combine with a RAK beach sunset on the return.
