A group of German tourist aged between 17 and 74 have been rescued from Jebel Jais, Ras Al Khaimah, after getting lost.
RAK teams rushed to the rescue after a report was made to police at 6am on Saturday, said Maj Tareq Mohammed Al-Sharhan, head of the ambulance and rescue department at the General Directorate of Central Operations.
