Jais Flight is the zipline on Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah: 2.83 km long, about 3 minutes face down, open from age 12 and 40 to 120 kg. It is a full day out from Dubai, and in mid-November we could not see a bookable slot, so confirm it is running before you drive.

What Jais Flight is
Jais Flight is the zipline on Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak, in the Hajar Mountains of Ras Al Khaimah. The official site describes it as the world's longest zipline: 2.83 km long, starting 1,680 m above sea level. You fly face down in a horizontal harness for about 3 minutes. A first long line ends at a platform hanging in the mountains, and a second, shorter line takes you back to base. The site says the line opened in 2018 and has carried more than 120,000 riders.
The figures differ on one point. The official activity page and blog say riders reach up to 160 km/h. The official FAQ says up to 150 km/h. Both describe the same line. Do not treat either number as exact.
Limits, price and what we could not confirm
The official blog and FAQ give the same limits: minimum age 12, weight 40 to 120 kg, minimum height 122 cm. Wear closed shoes with grip and fitted clothes; no skirts or dresses. Loose items in pockets are not allowed on the line, and lockers are available at the Welcome Centre.
The price is less clear. The official blog, published in August 2025, says tickets start from AED 325 per person. On 15 November 2026 the official booking system sold a "Jais Flight + camera" gift certificate for AED 489, which is non-refundable. We could not see a live single-ride price, because the booking calendar returned no open slots for the dates we tried (17, 20, 21 and 25 November 2026). We found no published opening hours or ticket cancellation policy. The FAQ only says that the zipline has fixed hours and that activities may close in extreme weather.
On the same day, the Headout listing for the zipline was marked "unavailable". The official activity page still showed a booking button for Jais Flight, while it marked the nearby Jais Sledder as temporarily closed. Our reading: the line is listed as open, but slots were not visible to us. Confirm a date with the operator before you plan the trip around it.
Recent closure
The National reported on 23 December 2025 that all operations on Jebel Jais, Jais Flight included, were suspended after severe storms. What's On reported on 29 January 2026 that Jais Flight would resume on 31 January 2026. We found no later closure report.
Getting there from Dubai
This is not a Dubai activity. The official site gives about two hours by car from Dubai and about 45 minutes from Ras Al Khaimah city. The road is paved and a normal car is fine, but the FAQ warns about fog and rain on the mountain road. A shuttle bus runs from hotels in Al Hamra and Al Marjan Island for AED 15 return. The blog asks riders to fill in the waiver before arriving and to come 30 minutes early. It says the visit takes 60 to 75 minutes, plus a shuttle up to the launch platform. October to April is the main season and the busiest time.
Jais Flight or XLine
Jais Flight is longer, faster and higher, and its 120 kg limit is more generous than XLine's 100 kg. XLine is inside Dubai, at Dubai Marina Mall, and has published prices and daily hours, and includes photos and video. For a single day in Dubai with a skydive already booked, XLine is the practical choice. For a mountain day trip, Jais Flight is the bigger ride. Both appear with the other options on our alternatives page.
