Take on the world’s longest zipline
Adrenaline junkies from around the world flock to Jebal Jais peak to experience a thrill like no other on the world’s longest zip line. Jais Flight’s main line spans a jaw dropping 2,832 metres at speeds of up to 160 km/h through the jagged mountain peaks onto an Insta-worthy 9-tonne glass-bottomed platform that resembles a hovering bird of prey suspended 80 metres above the ground.
Get your thrills on the Jais Sledder!
If you can’t get enough of that ‘heart in mouth’ feeling then the Jais Sledder is for you. The coaster is the region’s longest toboggan ride at 1,840 metres and can reach speeds of up to 40km/h as you wind down through the Hajar mountain range, offering riders panoramic views as they go. Due to the low-slung track, the speed of the ride seems to be amplified ten-fold because you are sitting so close to the ground. The total ride takes around eight minutes with hairpin curves and undulating waves adding to the excitement of this fun-filled adventure.
