Sports and leisure activities ÉMIRATS DE RAS AL-KHAÏMAH ET DE FUJAÏRAH

The safest hike you can do without a guide is the one that starts at the Jebel Jais Adventure Centre. Even in winter, we recommend an early start, around 8:30am, with at least 3 litres of water per person and a pair of good shoes. Starting from the view deck, the path is uphill, quite easy with great views down to the sea, until you reach the summit at 1,630 meters. We crossed a viper so be careful!

This is the longest zip line in the world recorded in the record books. 2 800 meters long, with a flat start at 1 680 meters of altitude, you will jump into the void to cover the distance in a little more than 2 minutes by reaching a speed which can go from 120 to 150 km / hour: you really have the feeling to fly and the emotions felt are very strong! If you are a couple, you can go together, because 2 zip lines are side by side.

This 18-hole Par 72 course was opened in May 2004. It extends over 6,644 meters, and 11 of its holes are along the mangroves. It was designed by Gerald Williams. A 9-hole course and the driving range can be played at night. The latest technology, including a room equipped with numerous cameras, has been used to ensure the best course, but also to improve your technique and eliminate your faults. Very well maintained with an excellent service. Possibility of taking lessons.

Designed by Peter Harradine, this Par 72 is an extraordinary 18-hole course located on the edge of the lagoon. But the 9-hole course is just as satisfying by day as it is by night, thanks to its lighting. Two indoor and outdoor practices complete the offer, whose excellence is sure to convince all golfers, thanks to the quality of the fairways and greens and the difficulty of the course. The sports bar "The Bay" is very popular and is considered, not without mischief, as hole number 19. Clubs can be hired.

The most exhausting hike in the Gulf, carved like a staircase in the raw rock in the heart of Wadi Litibah and then on to the summits. 17 kilometers, 1 500 meters of difference in altitude, very steep paths sometimes near precipices. We pass the Jebel Bil Aysh and then reach 2 abandoned Shihu villages and various plateaus. Every year, some hikers are rescued by helicopter because they underestimated the difficulty of the hike. Information can be found in the UAE Off-Road Explorer guide.

The camel and the horse are inseparable from the Bedouin culture and for all those who have dreamed of galloping through the dunes at sunset, or of taking on the role of Lawrence of Arabia on the back of the so-calledship of the desert, this is the equestrian centre for you.

Seabreacher's staff is composed of certified personnel who train regularly. Among them, a local star: Manea Almarzooqi, a champion jet skier and flyboarder, among others. The name comes from this machine with a funny shark shape, which is a kind of boat with a completely closed cockpit, semi-submersible and which allows to admire the underwater fauna and flora: at the crossroads between the jet ski and the in-board motor boat. It can reach a speed of 80 km/h on the water and 40 km/h underwater. A must try!
