Had 5 nights in RAK to relax which we did but when we read there was the "Worlds Longest" Zip Line near by, we just had to do it! We have already done the worlds fastest zip line, which is in North Wales, UK. Tickets arranged via our hotel concierge and we are pretty sure we were overcharged. However the price included a return trip there and back. Took about 90 mins and the drive to the top is scenic but very very winding but on nice well sighted and wide roads. The driver waited for us. Whole experience took about 2.5 hours.
This was all very well organised. Check in/weight check/ have to sign a waiver!
Nice intro video. Then a suit up and helmet check. Short drive in mini van to the very top. Only a sort queue on the day we went. Weather lovely as it tends to be all year round in RAK but did get a bit windy! They allow you to use your own GoPros as I had bought mine. Just make sure you have the right fitting for a helmet mount. If not they supply a face view mini cam to keep those memories intact!
Nice Zip line ride. View so-so simply because the mountain is pretty rocky. Ride takes about 2 mins and you do it held horizontally, head first. You arrive at a suspended platform, after which you transfer to a very short "sit down" zip ride lasting about 10 seconds to get back to terra firma. There is the another minibus ride back to the start
All very well organised. No real need to do this again. Once you have done it, you have done it. Nice cafe at the entrance foyer and a nice platform and stairway up to a peak to get great views over the Hajar mountains.
