Restaurant 1484 to open on Jebel Jais

ROSHIN GEORGE

Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE’s highest peak and a popular destination for holiday goers. Now to add to the fun, RAK Leisure, the subsidiary of RAK Hospitality Holding, has announced the launch of a restaurant called “1484 by Puro” on October 1, 2020.

The restaurant is the latest venture by Puro, an independent dining concept with two existing restaurants at Al Marjan Island and at the Jais Viewing Deck Park.

The highly anticipated restaurant is located atop the Jais Adventure Peak and is named so for its height of 1,484 metres above sea level. It will be the UAE’s highest restaurant when ready.

Located next to the Jais Adventure Centre, 1484 by Puro offers guests magnificent views of the peaks and valleys of the Hajar mountains. It is ideally positioned on the mountain-facing façade of the Jais Adventure Peak, and an entire side of the venue consists of ceiling to floor glass windows that provide uninterrupted views of the serene landscape.

Alison Grinnell, CEO of RAK Hospitality Holding, commented: “Jebel Jais is one of the most popular landmarks in Ras Al Khaimah, offering visitors a host of bucket-list adventures that guarantee memorable experiences. With the opening of 1484 by Puro at the Jebel Jais Welcome Centre, visitors can now enjoy an all-encompassing experience at the standalone destination that is the Jais Adventure Peak, home to thrilling adventure attractions such as the Jebel Jais Flight, Jais Sky Maze, and the Jais Sky Tour.”

The venue will operate in line with the highest safety and hygiene measures recommended by the World Health Organisation and the Centres for Disease Control, and also adhere to federal directives.

Stringent measures include a maximum seating capacity of 76 guests, sanitary equipment and the adoption of the necessary distancing measures.
