I was browsing my Facebook page when a promotion from Toroverde - Jebel Jais Flight popped up. It was offering a 54% discount from its regular price for you to experience the world’s longest zipline. It is a no-brainer since ziplining is on my bucket list.
One problem though - Jebel Jais is 250 kilometers away from Abu Dhabi and it would take around 4.5 hrs to travel. As there are no shuttle buses provided by the company to the Jebel Jais mountains, I don’t have any other options but to ask my friends to accompany me. They agreed but did not have the courage to join me at the platform, they patiently waited at the parking lot.
As captured on the video, it was an exhilarating experience. If the location is nearer, I would do it again, especially since the goggle was not placed properly. I needed a new video.
