Which mountain on the border between Ras Al Khaimah and Oman's Musandam Governorate, with a 1,934 m summit on the Omani side, is home to the world's longest zip-line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Jebel Jais

  1. Step 1: Jebel Jais has a summit elevation of 1,934 m, located on the Omani side. The mountain sits in Oman's Musandam Governorate and in the UAE's Ras Al Khaimah emirate. Answer: Jebel Jais. Its zip-line, opened in February 2018, is the world's longest at 2,832 m, and a 36 km road hairpins most of the way up. Why not the others: Jebel Hafeet: The Jebel Hafeet article gives a disputed 1,249 m summit near Al Ain, not the 1,934 m summit of Jebel Jais. Jebel Buhais: It is not the mountain the Jebel Jais article describes with a 1,934 m summit and the world's longest zip-line. Jebel Faya: It is not the mountain the Jebel Jais article describes with a 1,934 m summit and the world's longest zip-line.
