Explore thrilling new heights on Oman’s first mountain zip line and one of the highest climbing routes in the Middle East. Snaking nearly 200 metres across the cliff edge, the Via Ferrata steel cable allows intrepid climbers to use their hands and strategically placed metal steps to traverse the vertical rock face, before navigating jagged rock formations, ladders and vertical stairs. Below, the vast canyon plunges to its deepest point, revealing unsurpassed views of Green Mountain from an exhilarating and otherwise inaccessible angle. Towards the end of the hour-long climb, two zip lines suspended high above the canyon allow thrill seekers to fly through the air for the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Designed to the highest European safety standards, the course is suitable for all abilities and features a series of escape routes so that uneasy climbers can quickly ascend back up to the mountaintop. A team of certified instructors, trained by a highly experienced British mountain guide, are on hand to assist climbers as they attach themselves to the cables using a waist harness and a locked carabiner system, dispensing the need to clip and unclip for extra safety.
