Jais Sledder is among eight rides and attractions at the adventure complex of Ras Al Khaimah's Jebel Jais, the highest mountain in the UAE. Within the same vicinity, thrill-seekers can go hiking or try the longest zipline in the world.

Since its launch in 202 , Jais Sledder has been a popular ride for those seeking out some adrenaline rush. With tickets priced at Dh50 per adult and Dh65 for one adult and a child, riders get to race down the Hajjar mountain at 40kmph, swerving through scenic views of the rugged terrain and the coastline.

On its website, however, an advisory was posted recently: "Please note that the Jais Sledder is currently closed, and we thank you for your understanding and patience."

Its listing on Google was also marked "temporarily closed".
