It is the world's longest zipline and gets you as close to the superhero flying experience as you can possibly get! Here you can zip at speeds of up to 120kph to 150kph at a height of 1,680 metres above sea level on top of Jebel Jais mountain. Also on offer is the Via Ferrata which takes you on a challenging and spectacular route through the mountains.
Another thrilling experience that gives you the superhero feels is skydiving in Dubai. You can dive with an instructor from the Palm Dropzone, from the Desert Campus dropzone, or you can just take the gyrocopter scenic tour over Dubai.
Parasailing or paragliding are other ways to enjoy that superhero experience in Dubai. Parasailing takes you up 200 mts into the air above the sea and paragliding also gives you the real feel of flying up in the air.
