The Public Works Department in Ras Al Khaimah revealed that over 12,000 vehicles travelled to the summit of Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, during the Eid al-Adha holidays while the environmental violations logged by the department’s patrols service amounted to 88 during this period.
Ahmed Al Hammadi, Director-General of the Department, stated that the surge in the number of visitors to Jebel Jais led the department to improve the quality of its services, by upgrading all solar-powered lounges and restaurants.
Jebel Jais has the largest retaining wall in the Gulf region, as well as waterfall paths.
