Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, head towards the Wadi Shehah area in Ras Al Khaimah. From central Ras Al Khaimah, follow the signs for Jebel Jais. The route will take you along the E611 highway. After approximately 30 minutes, take the exit towards Wadi Shehah (W4VR+FX7) and follow the road signs for Jebel Jais. The drive is scenic, with winding roads and stunning views as you ascend towards the mountain. Make sure to check your fuel level, as there are limited services on the mountain itself.

Public Transportation
If you're using public transportation, start by taking a bus from central Ras Al Khaimah to the nearest bus stop that services Wadi Shehah. You can inquire about the exact route to take from local bus stations, as services may change. Once you arrive at the Wadi Shehah bus stop, you will need to book a taxi or use a ride-sharing app to reach Jebel Jais, as public transport does not go directly to the mountain.
