Jebel Jais, Mountain summit in Musandam Governorate, Oman
Jebel Jais reaches an elevation of 1,934 meters above sea level, forming the highest peak in the North-Western Hajar mountain range between Oman and UAE.
The formation of Jebel Jais occurred over 70 million years ago through continental collisions near the Arabian-Eurasian plate boundary, creating complex geological structures.
The mountain holds traditional importance for Bedouin communities who inhabited the surrounding areas, maintaining connections to their historical nomadic lifestyle.
The mountain temperature remains 10 degrees Celsius lower than surrounding regions, with winter measurements recording occasional drops to negative 5 degrees Celsius.
The summit contains rare fossils and sedimentary rocks that document the geological transformations of the Arabian Peninsula through different time periods.
