Enjoy the region’s most exciting mountain adventure activity. The Middle East’s first commercial Via Ferrata is now open for those seeking an adrenaline filled day on Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain.

What to expect

The Jebel Jais Via Ferrata involves a combination of walking, scrambling/climbing and zip lining around a purpose-built course. At all times you will be accompanied by qualified guides and protected by a system of steel cables and anchors. Prior to the experience, the guides will ensure you fully understand the operation of safety equipment and are properly fitted with harness and helmet.

The Adventure Begins

Using a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable. The cable can also be used as aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, plus all the required ziplining equipment for the 3 short ziplines in the route.
