Which mountain, in Ras Al Khaimah and Oman's Musandam Governorate, has a high point west of its summit that is considered the highest point in the UAE, at 1,892 metres?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Jebel Jais
- Step 1: Jebel Jais is a mountain of the North-Western Hajar range in the Musandam Governorate of Oman and also in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Answer: Jebel Jais. The summit, at 1,934 metres, is on the Omani side, but a high point west of it is considered the highest point in the UAE, at 1,892 metres above sea level. Why not the others: Jebel Hafeet, Jebel Buhais and Jebel Dhanna don't fit.
