List of mountains in the United Arab Emirates

[3] Most of the country's mountains, with altitudes higher than 1,000 metres (3,300 feet), are located in the emirate of Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, and it is no coincidence that some of its most important summits are located exactly on the border with the Sultanate of Oman, as, in some cases, their position was taken as a reference for the drawing of the border limits between both countries.

[4][5] A boundary agreement was signed and ratified in 2003 for the entire border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman, including Oman's Musandam Peninsula and Al Madhah enclaves, but the contents of the agreement, and detailed maps showing the alignment, have not been published, [6] although border stones have been placed.

Many of these mountains are known by different names, the result of local tradition and of the various transcriptions from Arabic to English, so that an individual reference note includes the alternative names with which the mountain has been identified at some point, accompanied by their respective documentary sources.

In some cases, direct recognition and location by GPS have also been used, or references have been checked against data provided by hikers and climbers in itineraries published online.

In this article, the values of prominence were not taken into account, nor the topographic isolation, to give priority to identifying the mountains and location of their summits.
