Adventures at Jebel Jais
The Jebel Jais Adventure Park is one of the highlights of Ras Al Khaimah, accessible from the likes of Anantara Mina Al Ras Al Khaimah. The park is home to the world’s longest zipline, a toboggan ride down the mountains, and the Viewing Deck Park – perfect for a full day of fun in the mountains.
Desert Safaris
This is one of the best activities in Ras Al Khaimah that takes you to the region’s stunning desert landscapes. You can enjoy everything from sandboarding to dune bashing and tranquil camel rides. You can even enjoy a sunset viewing followed by an authentic desert feast under the starry skies.
Wadi Hikes
For a closer look at the rugged terrain of the Hajar Mountains, a hike along one of the trails at Wadi Shawka is truly breathtaking. The routes are all family-friendly and provide a good physical outing with stunning views along the way as a reward.
Mangrove Kayaking
Ras Al Khaimah’s mangroves are a far cry from its rugged mountains, where calm waters and lush vegetation provide a home to exotic birds. Kayaking past the mangroves is a more tranquil way of experiencing a different side of the region’s natural ecosystem.
