Jebel Jais Viewing Deck Park
Jebel Jais · Ras Al Khaimah
Viewing decks at about 1,250 m, above the coastal haze, with free monthly community stargazing evenings that bring telescopes and guides.

How it works
Drive up Jebel Jais Road to the Viewing Deck Park before sunset and stay on after dark. Check Visit Ras Al Khaimah for the monthly community evening.
The catch
It runs about 10 degrees cooler than the coast, so it gets cold after dark; arrive before sunset to get a spot.
Bring
Warm jacket, red torch, chair

How it works
Drive the Jebel Jais road from Ras Al Khaimah to the Viewing Deck Park, pay the small entry fee at the gate and walk between the decks. Get a coffee at the snack stop on the deck while you wait for sunset.
The catch
The drive up takes a while and the top is busy at weekend sunsets; bring a jacket in winter, it gets cold.
