Dubai- UAE: Jebel Jais will be officially reopening on January 31, 2026, on a Saturday, and the adventure seekers and nature lovers will be able to enjoy it.

The mountain that tops the country has been temporarily closed down by the UAE because of the overfalls that had been received in December and has since been fixed and undergone the necessary safety examinations. The landscape is as breathtaking as it has always been, but there are few major changes that have taken place and that you need to remember before you visit.

Reasons Why Jebel Jais Was Closed Down

Ras Al Khaimah had experienced the most rainfall ever in late December, and it fell on certain areas in record amounts within less than 48 hours, compared to the average rainfall and average annual rainfall. This resulted in the water pools, loose rocks and possible danger and safety of mountain roads.

Adopting a safety first strategy, the Jebel Jais authorities shut down the access, conducted a thorough geological examination and had the required repairs carried out. These precautions having been taken, the mountain is prepared to open–to be stronger and safer.
