A Cyclist Passing By Jebel Jais Captured The Public Rest Area
Cyclists and road trippers, take note! A recent ride past Jais Mountain (that’s Jebel Jais for the locals) turned into a mini adventure when a cyclist stumbled upon a public rest area that’s so clean, it almost feels unreal. We’re talking sparkling showers, spotless changing rooms, and lockers – all free, all open, and all just 9.80 km from the summit!
Spotted the cleanest pit stop
Cruising along the winding roads of Jebel Jais, our mustachioed cyclist hero couldn’t help but notice a sign pointing to the mountain, with a neat 9.80 km to go. But the real surprise? A rest area that’s not just clean, but spotless. Think modern facilities, fresh interiors, and even a bit of greenery to brighten up your pit stop. It’s the kind of place you’d expect to pay for, but here, it’s all on the house!
Free showers and changing rooms
Step inside and you’ll find more than just a restroom. There are actual showers, changing rooms, and lockers – perfect for cyclists, hikers, or anyone needing a quick refresh. The staff, including the friendly ‘big boss’ in blue, keep everything in tip-top shape. And yes, it’s all free of charge. The cyclist couldn’t help but compare it to Europe, wondering if there’s anywhere else with such top-notch, free facilities.
So next time you’re heading up Jebel Jais, don’t just focus on the climb. Take a break, freshen up, and enjoy one of the cleanest, most welcoming rest stops in the UAE. Big shoutout to RAK for keeping things so fresh and inviting – this is how you do public spaces right!
