Jebel Jais Zipline & Mountain Picnic

Towering above the UAE, Jebel Jais—the highest peak in the country—offers more than staggering views. For the adventure-seeking luxury traveller, a curated Jebel Jais experience combines the world’s longest zipline with a tranquil, chef-prepared mountaintop picnic, blending adrenaline and repose in one unforgettable journey. Your experience begins with a scenic drive through winding roads carved into the Hajar Mountains. Arrive at the launch platform, perched over rugged cliffs, where expert instructors brief you before your flight. The zipline stretches over 2.8 kilometers, reaching speeds of up to 150 km/h, gliding above deep ravines, dramatic escarpments, and rolling canyons. It’s not just speed—it’s an aerial ballet over millennia of geological wonder. After the thrill, a short, guided trek leads you to a private mountaintop setting, where a beautifully laid-out picnic awaits. Plush rugs, shaded canopies, and panoramic views set the stage for a slow, sensory lunch: artisan breads, charcuterie, chilled citrus drinks, and warm mountain dishes made with Emirati spices and fresh produce. Optional enhancements include a sunrise yoga session, telescope-assisted stargazing, or a guided geology walk that reveals the mountain’s ancient marine origins. Jebel Jais is more than a peak—it is a place where pulse and peace meet, where wildness and luxury are not opposites, but companions. Here, every breath feels earned, every silence profound.
