Ras Al Khaimah has taken entertainment to the highest level. Literally.

Jebel Jais, the tallest peak in the UAE, is set to strike a chord with music lovers in the country as it prepares to host Vivaldianno for the country's classical aficionados on Friday, October 27.

The 3D event, Vivaldianno - City of Mirrors, is a global sensation devised by award-winning Czech musician and film composer Michal Dvorák.

Set at 1,600 metres above sea level, the dazzling live performance will be attended by His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, and other dignitaries.

Roads to be closed

Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), which is organising the event, has announced that roads to Jebel Jais will be closed on the day of the event, which starts at 7pm. Ticket holders will be able to park in a dedicated car park at the foot of Jebel Jais, and will be taken by special shuttle buses to the concert site.

Doors will open at 4.30pm, and close at 6.45pm. Last shuttles will leave the car park at 6:30pm.

"Tremendous detail has gone into the planning of this event, which is historic in its scope for the UAE," said Haitham Mattar, CEO, RAKTDA. "We are pushing the boundaries in our efforts to enhance Ras Al Khaimah's visitor experience," added Mattar. "Vivaldianno is a first for the UAE and offers up a genuine sensory overload at one of the emirate's most iconic landmarks."
