Good morning from Jebel Jais! Out in the wilderness today for an exclusive first look at the new Bear Grylls Explorers Camp in Ras Al Khaimah

@RAKTourism @BearGrylls #VisitRasAlKhaimah

The first of its kind in the region, the camp invites adventurers of any ability to get out and explore the wadis of RAK while learning how to survive in the wild – bei Jais Mountain جبل جيس

You’ll learn how to use a knife like @sophieprideaux - warrior woman

You’ll also learn how to make fire, tie top-notch knots & make snares (I failed at 2/3 of these)

You will also need to sustain yourself on alternative forms of protein

...it’s not for me

You might also sustain some gnarly battle wounds fighting off a wild animal (read: attacked by a loose boulder)

And then you’ll maybe have to abseil down a cliff face & run up the other side of a wadi (not pictured: sweat drenched self afterwards)

It’s a 10/10 from me - Ras Al Khaimah shaping up to be such an exciting adventure destination in the UAE

And if you’re in the area, make sure to stop in at the brand new highest restaurant in the UAE - 1484 By Puro, right at the tippy top of Jebel Jais

Can’t get views like this in Dubai:
