Developed by Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), the Jebel Jais Observation Deck will include a series of viewing platforms to experience bird life and flora and fauna of the emirate’s Al Hajar Mountain range, which borders Oman.

“The Jebel Jais Observation Deck will serve as a base camp for hikers and bikers looking to test themselves on the rugged mountain range,” RAKTDA said in a statement. The facility will also house a multi-purpose events arena, picnic areas, access to various walking paths and a food truck zone (yaaas).
