Operators enforce minimum and maximum weight/height limits for safety—check requirements and bring ID for verification.

Jebel Jais sits on the Hajar uplift—an exposed fold-and-thrust belt shaped by millions of years of tectonic activity that historically supported seasonal Bedouin routes across its lower slopes.
