Family-Friendly Hike & Picnic - Friday 30 October

Set at the bottom of Mount Jais, the highest mountains in UAE, the route is the perfect destination for those who want to enjoy a scenic hike with a minimal challenge, suitable for families with kids aged 5 years and above.

The area is known as “Al Gazlah” and was inhabited by “Al-Bukhaiti tribe.


We will come across some beautiful rock formations, old settlements with green

terraces during the season, some beautiful Sidr trees and Acacias that are native to that

area, free-roaming goats and scenic mountain views overlooking the lower part of Mount Jais. The route involves a walk on gravel and plain ground with very modest elevation gain. 

Unwind, relax and enjoy a good company on a well-established route made for ease

and a good warm-up. Take a step back in time and experience how the older mountain tribes of Ras Al Khaimah used to live within these rocky mountain walls.
