Soar Jebel Jais: World's Longest Zipline From Dubai with Transfer
Launch off the UAE’s highest ridge and fly 2.83 km across the Hajar Mountains on the world’s longest zipline. This guided transfer from Dubai pairs high-speed thrills with panoramic mountain views—plan for wind, sun, and a short but unforgettable flight.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for best light
Morning departures reduce heat and dust, and morning light improves visibility for the descent and photos.
Secure loose items
Use straps or leave phones and hats in the transfer vehicle—equipment can be damaged or lost at high speed.
Hydrate and layer
Bring water and a windproof layer—temperatures drop quickly with elevation and wind on the platform can be strong.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes make boarding and the short approach walk to platforms safer and more comfortable.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Jebel Jais Viewing Deck Park — several short lookout platforms with lower crowds than the sky bridge
- •Turnout viewpoints along the mountain road that offer sunset vistas across Wadi Bih and the Hajar ridges
Wildlife
- •Raptors (e.g., eagles and buzzards) circling thermal updrafts

Conservation Note
The mountain’s fragile desert-montane ecosystems are vulnerable—stick to marked areas, pack out trash, and avoid off-road driving or drone flights in protected zones.
Jebel Jais sits in the Hajar Mountains, a geological uplift that provided seasonal routes and grazing for Bedouin communities; modern roads have opened the range to tourism while preserving many traditional place names.
