Jebel Jais Zip Line + Mountain Lunch With Transfers
Contrary to expectations, the 2832 meter ride over the Ras Al Khaimah does not require any prior experience. Even first-timers will be able to enjoy the adventure. The Jebel Jais Zipline is 2832 meters in length and holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest zipline in the world. It has helped propel UAE’s reputation as an adventure tourism hotspot. Formed over 70 million years ago, the Jebel Jais offers breathtaking views of the entire Hajar mountain range. With temperatures 10-degrees Celsius cooler than the famous beachside of the UAE, it is the perfect spot for visitors to escape from the unrelenting heat, while also enjoying a hair-raising adventure. The fauna is diverse, with foxes, innumerable reptiles, goats, wildcats and dozens of bird species abounding in the region. The Jebel Jais mountain is the highest peak of the UAE, and a 15 kilometer road takes visitors up to the Welcome Center.
Your ExperienceThe drive to the top is an excursion through canyons and fascinating ancient villages. You will reach the Welcome Center, where you will be given the equipment to get ready for your adventure. The launch platform is transparent, and allows you to see the rocky surface of the mountains far below. A team of experts will equip you with the safety gear. Before the zipline flight, they will brief you about all the safety measures. Additionally, they will also ensure that you are absolutely comfortable during your 3-minute ride. Once your briefing session is concluded, you will be off, traveling at an average speed of 120 kilometers an hour, gliding through the sky at breakneck speeds like a falcon.
The stunning scenery of the Jebel Jais mountains as you slide down the zipline is sure to take your breath away. During the winters, shades of purple and white abound in the region. You will make a stop at a landing platform that is suspended about 50 meters from the ground. The platform will transport you to the Welcome Center, where you can buy some souvenirs to remind yourself of this exciting adventure. Once the adrenaline rush has subsided, you can restore your energy levels with a delectable lunch at the Welcome Center. You will then be taken back to the Toroverde Ras Al Khaimah Parking Lot.
