Famed as the emirate of ultimate adventure for thrill-seekers of all ages, and home to record-breaking daring experiences in the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah is set to launch the next most exciting encounter this year. The Jais Sky Drop is a highly anticipated attraction atop UAE’s highest mountain peak, suspended at a height of 1,500m above sea level and 23m off the ground. The controlled bungee jump is the first of its kind, catapulting adrenaline enthusiasts into the air followed by an ecstatic free fall of 8m and controlled fall of 15m, whilst surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. This is certainly sure to be a great new addition to the Jebel Jais portfolio of adventures currently entailing the Jais flight, Sky Tour, Ropes Course, Via Ferrata, Bear Grylls Explorer Camp and all-new Jais Sledder.
