At 1770 metres above sea level, Camp 1770 is the highest camp in the United Arab Emirates. Enjoy summit-inspired camping in the Jebel Jais Mountains. Each evening, you’ll meet like-minded people as you congregate around a campfire, dine on local cuisine, drink warming hot chocolate and listen to stories of old. Explore the jagged peaks under the light of the moon and hike to the highest peak to watch a breathtaking sunrise cast long shadows over the mountains from the east. Upon returning to the camp, feast on a hearty Emirati breakfast made by local tribeswomen that occupy the mountains. The Summit Series gives you the thrill of mastering a world-class expedition.

For the less sure-footed, daytime hikes are ideal for beginners keen to learn the exciting skills associated with hiking and camping in the mountains. You’ll walk along the well-trodden paths of shepherds and appreciate the beauty of this truly unique setting. Rise early to enjoy practising yoga, breathing techniques, meditation and mindfulness as the night turns to day.

Camp 1770 is the perfect place to meet new friends and old, celebrate the wilderness with your family and groups or peacefully enjoy the millennia-old energy of the Hajar mountain range.
