Best Hidden Hiking Trails around Jebel Jais

If you’re looking to escape the usual crowds on Jebel Jais, there are a few lesser-known trails worth exploring. I recently took the route that loops through Wadi Shah—it’s a bit rugged but the views early in the morning are unbeatable.
Just remember to bring enough water and start early to avoid the midday heat, especially since shade is sparse. Anyone else found other quiet spots around Ras al-Khaimah for a good day hike?

There’s a lesser-known route just off the main Jebel Jais road that winds through some surprisingly lush spots—you might stumble on wild pomegranates if you’re lucky. I found that trail a couple of months ago, and it offered a quiet retreat away from the usual crowds. If you’re looking for a bit of adventure with stunning views but less hustle, that’s definitely worth checking out.
