Introduction About Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's northernmost emirate and one of its most varied. From the white-sand beaches of Al Marjan Island to the 1,934-metre summit of Jebel Jais, RAK rewards visitors who can drive themselves. Public transport here is far more limited than in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, so a rental car is often the only practical way to explore beyond the city centre.
Quick Drive's RAK office is on the ground floor of Al Hamra Mall. We deliver across the emirate at no extra cost. Daily rentals start from AED 60 and monthly plans from AED 1,170.
Top reasons to rent a car in RAK
Two destinations alone justify renting: Jebel Jais and Al Marjan Island. Jebel Jais is a 90-minute drive from Al Hamra and home to the world's longest zip line, the Jais Sky Tour, the Jais Sledder toboggan and several scenic viewing platforms. Without a car, reaching the summit means an expensive taxi each way or a tour bus tied to a fixed schedule.
Al Marjan Island, the future site of Wynn Al Marjan (the UAE's first integrated resort with gaming), is currently a low-density beach destination ideal for self-drive. RAK's other attractions ā Saqr Park, Dhayah Fort, the National Museum, the Pearl Museum at Suwaidi Pearls ā are scattered enough that public transport rarely reaches them efficiently.

Driving the Jebel Jais mountain road
What to expect on the route
The Jebel Jais access road is one of the best-engineered mountain roads in the region: smooth tarmac, multiple viewing decks, well-marked corners and barriers. The drive from Al Hamra Mall to the highest viewing point is approximately 100 km and takes 90 minutes one way. The road climbs from sea level to 1,934 metres, with temperatures at the summit typically 8ā12Ā°C cooler than at the base.
Recommended cars for Jebel Jais
The route is fully paved and accessible by any rental car. Compact sedans like the Mitsubishi Attrage handle the climb without difficulty. SUVs (Mitsubishi ASX, Hyundai Tucson) provide more stability if you plan to stop often or if you're carrying camping gear for the Jebel Jais campsite. The Nissan Patrol is a popular choice for groups making the drive together.
Practical tips
Refuel before leaving Al Hamra ā there are no petrol stations on the climb itself. Bring water and warm layers if visiting between November and March, when summit temperatures can drop to 5Ā°C. The road is open 24 hours but the Jais Sky Tour and Jais Sledder operate fixed hours; check timings before you set off.
