Fly the Jebel Jais Flight: World's Longest Zipline from Dubai
Launch from a cliff-edge platform and fly nearly 3 km above the Hajar Mountains. The Jebel Jais Flight is a short, high-adrenaline experience—fast, exposed, and heavily managed for safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 30 minutes early
Check-in and safety briefings are mandatory; arriving early avoids rushed harnessing and lets you acclimate to the altitude.
Know the weight & height limits
Operators enforce strict limits (roughly 40–120 kg and minimum ~122 cm); bring ID and parental waivers if under 18.
Dress for wind and sun
Closed-toe shoes, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen are important—temperatures and winds change quickly at altitude.
Expect possible weather cancellations
Strong winds or poor visibility can cancel flights; book early in the day and check local forecasts.

Conservation Note
High-altitude habitats are fragile—stick to marked access points, avoid leaving litter, and follow operator guidance to minimize erosion and disturbance.
The Hajar Mountains have long been traversed by Bedouin and traders; modern development on Jebel Jais is a recent push to open high-country recreation in the UAE.
