Jebel Jais Zipline, Ras Al Khaimah

Spending the day among the craggy, dramatic peaks of Jebel Jais at 6,345 feet above sea level is the perfect adventure pill for thrill seekers. Take off from Dubai in one of our most popular luxury Seawings seaplane tours to Ras Al Khaimah, flying over Dubai landmarks. On reaching Ras Al Khaimah, take the steep switchback grey road that goes along Jebel Jais, the highest peak of UAE set in the Hajar Mountains. Each bend reveals vistas of wind eroded cliffs and canyons. The best views though, are from the Viewing Deck Park near the summit. The adventure isn’t over yet.

The world’s longest zipline (2.7km) is the biggest attraction of the peak. Strap on the safety gear and zip down the mountainside, taking in the view of the escarpments and the rust coloured mountains as you go down. This is one of the top things to do in Ras Al Khaimah. There is another climbing route if you want to notch up the action and leg the mountainside yourself. Even as the tour closes, there is a fair bit of excitement left to see Ras Al Khaimah’s topography, if you choose to upgrade and fly over the mountains and the coastline. Else, a luxury ground transfer ensures a smooth ride back.
