About
Quick facts: Accessible only by cable car, the camp sits at over 1,200 meters above sea level in the Jebel Jais mountains. Every year, more than 50,000 adventurers take on its challenges inspired by the survival techniques of the British explorer.
Highlights: You sleep suspended in glass pods attached to the cliffside, with a 300-meter drop beneath you. Waking up offers a rare sight: the first rays of sunlight setting the Hajar peaks ablaze before the rest of the world awakens.
Insider tips
- Wear closed hiking shoes: the rocky terrain is tricky and the activities require good grip.
- The sunset from the camp restaurant offers spectacular colors over the Jebel Jais rock layers, a photo spot not to be missed.
- Bring a jacket even in summer: the altitude drops the temperature by 10 degrees compared to the coast.
- Skip the ropes course if you are short on time and focus on the zipline and climbing, the two most intense activities.
