If your idea of “cooler weather” in the UAE is anything below hairdryer mode, then congratulations — your season has arrived. And with it, Visit Jebel Jais proudly declares the official start of the 2025/26 season. The UAE’s tallest peak is calling… and yes, it wants you to put your phone on “Do Not Disturb” and reconnect with nature, your people, and your inner mountain spirit (you know, the one that only appears when temperatures drop below 30°C).
Because Jebel Jais isn’t just a place — it’s a 70-million-year-old mood.
This season runs all the way through April 2026, giving you plenty of time to explore its three mountain-powered pillars: Educate, Energise, and Escape. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure story — but with better scenery, more oxygenated air, and fewer dragons.
Educate: Mountain School, But Make It Fun
If the last time you learned something outdoors involved a PE teacher yelling “RUN FASTER!”, take a deep breath — Jebel Jais is here to redeem your outdoor education.
This mountain isn’t just old; it’s practically wise. Guided hikes unpack its geological history, survival skills workshops at the legendary Bear Grylls Explorers Camp (BGEC) teach you how to outsmart the wilderness (and maybe your next camping trip), and the Viewing Deck Park gives you a front-row seat to 70 million years of nature’s craftsmanship.
BGEC is back this season with a bigger, bolder lineup:
- Survival courses
- Team-building challenges
- Rock climbing and abseiling
- Air rifle shooting
- High ropes
- Overnight cabins tucked right into the mountains
Basically, if your inner adventurer has been sleeping… consider this its alarm clock.
Energise: Fitness, Fresh Air and “Who Am I?” Moments
Welcome to the UAE’s high-altitude hotspot for movement and mindfulness — where your smartwatch gets a workout and your soul gets some love too.
After the wildly popular PEAK HEAT hot fitness series, Jebel Jais is rolling out even more ways to sweat, stretch, and reset. Expect:
- New yoga sessions
- Sunrise meditations
- Guided hikes
- Activities that restore your energy and silence your “I need a break” brain notifications
Supercar lovers, this is still your mountain too. Those legendary 28 km winding roads remain a magnet for Porsche groups, luxury car clubs, and classic car communities who show up for the drive… and stay for the views.
Adrenaline fans? Your playground awaits:
- Jais Flight — the world’s longest zipline
- Jais Sky Tour — six platforms of pure “wow, I can’t believe I’m doing this” energy
Here, movement isn’t just exercise. It’s therapy.
Escape: Where Time Slows Down (In the Best Way)
Sometimes you just need to step away from everything — the emails, the city noise, the constant “Where should we eat?” debates. At Jebel Jais, escaping isn’t running away — it’s reconnecting.
Food takes center stage this season too. At 1484 by Puro, the UAE’s highest restaurant, menus lean into fresh, seasonal goodness and flavours inspired by the region. Every dish feels like a postcard from the mountains.
But the season’s hottest new arrival?
Red Rock BBQ by RIKAS Hospitality Group — opening mid-November.
Expect smoky flavours, open-flame cooking, refined design, and mountain views that’ll make you forget your screen time limit.
As Donald Bremner, CEO of Marjan Lifestyle, puts it: Jebel Jais has always been a place where life comes together — adventure, wellness, connection, and the kind of beauty that just makes you feel alive again.
