As cooler weather returns to the UAE, Jebel Jais, Ras Al Khaimah’s star attraction, is kicking off its 2024/25 season with brand-new adventures and enhanced experiences for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and thrill-seekers. From adrenaline-pumping zipline rides to rugged survival camps, this season is set to raise the bar for adventure tourism in the region.
Bear Grylls Explorers Camp: New Heights of Survival
The Bear Grylls Explorers Camp is back, inviting adventurers to test their limits with new survival challenges, including the Via Ferrata course — an exhilarating 120-metre climb across a 3km trail through the rugged Hajar mountains. This thrilling path features vertical ascents, Burma bridges, and zip lines, making it the ultimate experience for adrenaline junkies. On top of the classic survival courses, you can now enjoy upgraded activities such as axe-throwing, archery, and air rifle shooting.
For those seeking a more immersive wilderness experience, the camp offers a 24-hour Primal Survival challenge, perfect for families or corporate groups looking to bond while mastering survival skills. After a day of adventure, unwind in one of the camp’s cozy recycled cabins equipped with BBQ pits and stargaze around a campfire.
Jais Adventure Park: The Ultimate Playground
The ever-popular Jais Adventure Park is also stepping up its game with new value-packed offers. The Jais Flight, still holding the crown as the world’s longest zipline, lets you soar at heart-pounding speeds of up to 160 km/h across the stunning mountain backdrop. Additionally, the Jais Sky Tour spans 5km of zip lines through six platforms, including the scenic “Sky Bridge,” an unforgettable 1,250-metre-high viewpoint.
For families, the Jais Sledder continues to thrill, with toboggan rides offering fast-paced fun. This year, the park introduces exciting adventure-dining packages, such as the Jais Flight + Camera + Jais Sledder package for just AED 399.
Dining in the Clouds: 1484 by Puro
After your adventures, head to 1484 by Puro, the UAE’s highest restaurant, for delicious international cuisine paired with breathtaking views. This season, they’re offering a Pinktober Afternoon Tea in support of breast cancer awareness, complete with a specially curated menu.
With something for everyone, Jebel Jais remains a top destination for both adventure and relaxation this season. For more information and bookings, visit Jebel Jais’ official website.
