Jabal Bil Ays, the highest peak in the UAE, offers stunning panoramic views and opportunities for hiking and camping. Accessibility can be challenging, requiring a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the rugged terrain. While solo visits are possible for experienced hikers, guided tours are recommended for safety and to learn about the local flora, fauna, and geology. The cooler months (October to April) are ideal for visiting due to the milder temperatures, as the summer heat can be extreme. The cost of visiting can vary depending on transportation and whether you opt for a guided tour. A typical visit can range from a few hours for a viewpoint stop to a full day or overnight for hiking and camping. Be sure to check weather conditions and pack accordingly, including plenty of water, appropriate footwear, and sun protection.
