Climb A Stairway Suspended In The Air Or Brave A Giant Swing At Breakneck Speed
Those who have fear of heights, this one’s not for you. AlUla’s new suspended stairway lets you climb 45 metres up into the sky, with just gravity between you and the ancient landscape below. Once you’re up there, take the 150-metre zip line ride back down to descend into the canyon below.
Yet another new attraction in the region, AlUla’s giant swing is for those who are happy to soar through the air at breakneck speed. Firstly, you need to brave a steep 100- metre climb. After this, guests can choose to step or run off the 85-metre high base to finally drop down into the canyon, flying back and forth between the ancient walls in a 70-metre arc. We can so imagine the adrenaline rush this will bring in!
