About Ras Al Khaimah

The UAE's Mountain & Coast Emirate

Ras Al Khaimah is crowned by Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest mountain at 1,934 metres, reached by a spectacular winding mountain road. At the summit you'll find Jais Flight — the world's longest zipline — alongside the Jais Sledder toboggan run, viewing decks and hiking trails with sweeping views across the Hajar Mountains to the coast.

Beyond the mountains, the emirate tells an older story: the hilltop Dhayah Fort, the pearl-diving heritage of the Al Rams fishing district, kayaking through coastal mangroves, resort beaches on man-made Al Marjan Island, and quiet Hajar wadis that make Ras Al Khaimah feel like the Arabia of a generation ago.
