The network extends over approximately 470 metres of equipment across three options, Ledge Walk, Middle Path and Julphar Scare, in the desert limestone cliffs of Jebel Jais. The courses combine cables, ladders, vertical crossings and three zip lines of 50, 60 and 300 metres; the longest line approaches a kilometre with access steps. The activity can be booked through the official Jebel Jais website, but the mountain's weather closures require a dated check before any trip.
