Itinerary description
Follow standard precautions, carry enough water and snacks as you will not have any options to refill water on the way. A min 3L with fruits and some snacks is highly recommended.
A well laid trail starting from Via Ferratta at the base of Jebel Jais. There's a lot of construction work going and new trails being laid.
Overall the first section i.e. Via Ferratta to Hidden Oasis is completely shaded and easily doable by anyone be it beginners or experienced hikers.
The second part i.e. Hidden Oasis --> Jebel Jais is fully exposed and steep climb. This is where we gain maximum altitude. Even this trail is marked with lots of stairs. This leads up to the Jebe Jais Parking.
If you intend to do this one way like we did, it is better to park one car at the top so after completing the hike you can get down easily to the start point (we did about 9.5kms; wikiloc started a bit late). Else, depending on your fitness, you can also attempt to return hiking down the same way. This will be about 20kms
The coordinates for start point - 25°54'12.2"N 56°08'29.0"E
End Point (Car Park at the JJ top) - 25°56'41.5"N 56°08'40.6"E
Last but not the least, DON'T OVER ESTIMATE YOURSELF. MOUNTAINS ARE MIGHTIER THAN US.
Enjoy the trek and stay safe!
