RAS AL KHAIMAH — Jebel Jais, the UAE’s premier mountain destination, has confirmed its comprehensive reopening strategy following extensive safety assessments and maintenance triggered by adverse weather conditions in December 2025. The iconic attraction will commence operations on Saturday, January 31, 2026, implementing a carefully structured phased approach to ensure visitor safety.
Authorities revealed that persistent rainfall between December 17-19, 2025, resulted in significant water accumulation across various sections of the mountain terrain, necessitating targeted remediation efforts. Specialist teams conducted thorough inspections and implemented essential maintenance protocols, including temporary road closures, to address safety concerns arising from shifting rocks and slippery pathways.
The reopening schedule features staggered operational resumptions for individual attractions: The renowned Jais Flight zip line will resume operations on January 31, while the Jais Sky Tour experience is scheduled to recommence on February 7. The 1484 by Puro restaurant will welcome guests from January 31, though Red Rock attractions will remain temporarily closed. Notably, the Bear Grylls Explorers Camp has already resumed operations after a brief weather-related closure.
Visitor guidelines have been enhanced, with authorities mandating advanced bookings for activities and dining experiences. Alternatively, guests may purchase viewing deck park tickets priced at Dh10 for access to hiking trails, cycling paths, and leisure areas. Officials continue to advise against wadi camping during unsettled weather patterns and urge extreme caution when navigating affected routes.
This systematic reopening demonstrates the UAE’s commitment to maintaining world-class safety standards at its natural attractions while ensuring minimal disruption to visitor experiences following exceptional weather events.
