Tap into Resilience World’s Longest Zipline

We were not kidding when we said Ras Al Khaimah has some of the most bucket-list-worthy experiences for you. The Emirate is where you will enjoy the most enthralling ziplining adventure! Situated atop the Jebel Jais peak is world’s longest zipline track (283km) that offers you panoramic views encompassing a stronghold of mountains, nuance of greenery, ravines and canyons. Furthermore, the track covers speeds between 120 kmph to 150 kmph. 

Go with the Flow on Jais Sledder

Soak in the breathtaking views of Hajar Mountain range as you get set on a low-slung Jais Sledder track! The 1,840-metre track features a tale of adrenaline-inducing curves, close to the rocky ground, offering passengers a serious encounter with the mountainous views and speed for straight 8 minutes. Whether you want to mark a solo adventure or have fun with your friends/family, this ride is ideal for both.

Conquer Deserts with Equestrian Adventure Centre

No Ras Al Khaimah travel check-list is complete without a trip to the vast and glorious deserts in the region. Block a day just for a rendezvous with desert activities at the Al Wadi Equestrian Adventure Centre and embrace a mosaic of activities that the rolling sand dunes have to offer.
This adventure site is home to a wide range of desert adventures that are too exciting to miss out on. Go classic with a camel ride that also portrays the centuries-old heritage of the Arab world. Ride an Arabian horse to enjoy exquisite feels and admire the atmosphere that sings praises of wildlife and environment.
