PEAK HEAT: Jebel Jais Launches the UAE’s First Outdoor Hot Fitness Experience at 1,900 m+
This summer, we don’t escape the heat, we flow with it.
Ras Al Khaimah(News Desk):: While the rest of the country retreats indoors, Visit Jebel Jais invites you to embrace the heat with PEAK HEAT – the UAE’s first-ever outdoor hot fitness experience, launching this summer at a breathtaking 1,934 metres above sea level.
An original concept by Visit Jebel Jais, PEAK HEAT is more than a workout, it’s a bold invitation to connect with yourself, your community, and the elements. Held at golden hour on the UAE’s highest peak, the experience is created in partnership with DRYP Studios and Rove Hotels, bringing together movement, nature, and connection in an unforgettable setting.
A Studio Like No Other
Typically, hot yoga and heat-based fitness are conducted in indoor studios heated between 32°C and 40°C with around 40 percent humidity, designed to challenge the body and focus the mind.
But on Jebel Jais, nature does the work.
Set against the sweeping sunset views of Jebel Jais, PEAK HEAT transforms natural elements into the ultimate wellness tool, harnessing the power of altitude, movement, and heat for a fitness experience unlike any other in the UAE.
No air-con. No mirrors. No filters. Just movement, breath, and raw nature.
Launching on 14th June, PEAK HEAT is open to anyone seeking a challenge, a shift in mindset, or a new way to move. Sessions will run once a month across June, July, and August.
Each session will be held at the Jebel Jais Viewing Deck, timed to catch the golden hour light and cooler mountain air, perfect conditions for transformation. The experience includes:
- Exclusive sunset workouts led by top DRYP instructors
- Post-class recovery tools including chilled towels and cold refreshments
- Followed by a refreshing three-course dinner at 1484 by Puro, the UAE’s highest restaurant, featuring dishes like crispy falafel bites, poke bowls, chia coconut pudding and seasonal fruits, served alongside soft drinks
- An overnight stay at the brand-new Rove Al Marjan Island, set right on the beach and complete with a fresh breakfast the next morning
- Air-conditioned return transfers to and from Jebel Jais, making your mountain journey smooth and stress-free
- A complimentary return shuttle bus is available from Rove Downtown Dubai for those who would like to have a full drive free experience
Whether you come alone or with friends, PEAK HEAT is about shared resilience. Moving together. Resting together. Reconnecting with nature, and each other.
Alison Grinnell, CEO of RAK Hospitality Holding, commented: “PEAK HEAT is a bold new take on summer in the UAE – one that transforms the natural elements into something powerful, primal and deeply restorative. It’s part of a wider vision to create immersive, unexpected experiences that celebrate Ras Al Khaimah’s unique landscape and push the boundaries of wellness and lifestyle travel.”
Jessica Casalegno, Managing Director of DRYP Studios added: “This is hot fitness in its purest form – stripped back, elevated, and deeply connected to nature. PEAK HEAT is about training differently, thinking differently, and feeling the intensity of the moment. The mountain brings something special, a real sense of challenge and clarity.”
Hossam Shaaban, Hotel Manager of Rove Al Marjan Island also commented: “Rove is all about connecting our Rovers with authentic, unforgettable experiences. Ras Al Khaimah, with its dramatic mountains and stunning natural beauty, provides an incredible backdrop for adventure. This collaboration with Jebel Jais is about embracing the raw power of nature, challenging yourself, and uncovering a new side of the UAE. That’s the Rove spirit – exploring without borders and finding excitement in unexpected places, and we’re excited to be a part of it.’
