Jebel Jais Zipline: World’s Longest Zipline & Sky Tour in Ras Al Khaimah
Fly 2.83 km at up to 160 km/h along Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak. Choose a pulse-racing single run or a scenic 5 km Sky Tour across six ziplines—both come with harnessed safety and cliff-top viewpoints.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 30–45 minutes early
Allow time for check-in, the safety briefing, and harness fitting to avoid rushing before your run.
Wear closed-toe shoes and layers
Sturdy trainers and a wind layer are essential—the launch platform can be cool and windy even in summer.
Secure loose items
Leave straps, hats and unsecured phones behind or use a labeled locker; use operator-approved mounts for action cameras.
Hydrate and protect from sun
High altitude and wind increase sun exposure—sunscreen and water are simple, effective defenses.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sky Bridge viewpoint—less crowded at midday for sweeping ridgeline shots
- •Jais Viewing Deck Park—odd-numbered terraces offer quieter vantage points away from the main platform
Wildlife
- •Arabian tahr
- •Raptors such as peregrine falcons
Conservation Note
Respect designated trails, carry out all waste, and avoid off-trail driving—development is concentrated to limit wider habitat disturbance.
Jebel Jais is part of the Hajar Mountains, an uplifted chain whose tectonic history shaped UAE’s highest terrain and later attracted infrastructure projects to open it for tourism.
Photographer's Notes
- • Launch platform for dynamic action shots
