The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight and height limits
Operators enforce strict min/max weight (around 40–120 kg) and height (min ~122 cm); confirm requirements and waivers for minors before booking.
Bring a light jacket
Summit temperatures can be several degrees cooler than the coast and windier—pack a windbreaker even in warmer months.
Wear closed-toe shoes
You’ll step on metal platforms and uneven paths at launch and landing zones—secure, grippy footwear improves comfort and safety.
Hydrate and time your ride
The full excursion includes long transfers; drink water before departure and aim for morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid the peak heat and stronger winds.

The Hajar range has long been a corridor for Bedouin shepherding and seasonal trade; stone terraces and village ruins reflect traditional mountain livelihoods.
