The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated and fueled

Drive time and heat make hydration essential—drink water before pickup and bring a small bottle for after the ride.

Wear secure shoes and snug clothing

Closed-toe athletic shoes and fitted activewear prevent interference with harnesses and make transitions faster.

Protect skin and eyes

Peak sun and reflective platforms make sunscreen and sunglasses important even in mild weather.

Listen to guides and practice body position

Follow braking and posture instructions during a short on-platform briefing to ensure a safe, smoother ride.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Jebel Jais Viewing Deck Park — quieter early mornings for panoramic photos
  • Short mountain walks near the Welcome Center that look down into wadi channels rarely crowded by day-trippers

Wildlife

  • Arabian tahr or mountain goat sightings along rocky ledges
  • Raptors such as falcons and eagles riding the thermals

Conservation Note

Stick to marked areas, carry out all waste, and use onsite facilities—mountain soils and desert flora recover slowly from trampling.

Jebel Jais is the UAE’s highest ridge and part of the Hajar Mountains; the area has long been a route between coastal communities and interior tribes.
