Jebel Jais, known as the highest mountain in the United Arab Emirates, has been temporarily closed following recent heavy rainfall. Authorities in Ras Al Khaimah have suspended all activities on the mountain to ensure the safety of visitors. This has resulted in temporary road closures and necessary maintenance work aimed at addressing the impact of the heavy rains.
What Visitors Need to Know
