Jebel Jais Zipline: World's Longest Sky Tour from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah
Strap in and fly across 5 km of cable over the Hajar mountains on the Jebel Jais Sky Tour. This 90‑minute zipline experience — including the world’s longest single line — pairs pure adrenaline with sweeping views of Ras Al Khaimah’s highest ridgeline.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight and height limits
Operators enforce 40–120 kg and a minimum height (≈122 cm); bring ID with your details to confirm eligibility.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Secure footwear helps when walking between platforms and stabilizes you while launching and landing.
Sun protection and water
High-altitude desert sun is intense—use SPF and carry water, especially in summer.
Secure cameras properly
If attaching a GoPro or phone mount, follow staff guidance to avoid dropped gear and distractions.

The mountain’s fragile vegetation and wildlife are sensitive to trampling and litter; stick to marked areas and pack out rubbish to protect habitats.
The Hajar Range shaped local trade and settlement patterns for centuries; Ras Al Khaimah’s peaks have long been a navigational landmark for coastal communities.
