Fly Jebel Jais: World's Longest Zipline in Ras Al Khaimah

The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive hydrated and sun-protected
The mountain sun and wind can dehydrate you quickly; bring a water bottle and sunblock for the wait and post-ride walk.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
You’ll climb steps and walk on metal platforms — secure footwear keeps you stable during gearing up and landings.
Expect a safety briefing and video
Plan 60–90 minutes for fitting, briefing, the ride and video processing; bring a small cashless payment method for optional footage.
Check weather before you go
High winds or fog can close the zipline; confirm operations the morning of your booking and allow flexibility in plans.

Conservation Note
Visitor facilities aim to concentrate impacts; stick to marked areas, pack out litter and use designated parking and picnic sites to reduce erosion and habitat disturbance.
Jebel Jais is part of the Hajar Mountains, a folded range formed by Arabian and Eurasian plate interactions; the area has long been a natural boundary and modern focus for adventure tourism.
