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 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.

This resulted in the water pools, loose rocks and possible danger and safety of mountain roads.
