Designed for individuals weighing between 40kg and 110kg, and aged 14 and above, with a minimum height of 125cm, the approximately four-hour adventure demands good physical fitness and flexibility. Upon conquering this thrilling feat, participants will proudly receive a well-deserved certificate of achievement.

Safety is paramount at Bear Grylls Explorer Camp, with all necessary safety equipment provided, along with on-site medical facilities and 24-hour security. The fearless team of Bear Grylls experts ensures a secure and memorable experience, prepared to handle emergencies, implement evacuation routes, and control risks as needed.

For those unfamiliar with the Bear Grylls Explorer Camp, it’s situated in a rocky wadi at the bottom of Jebel Jais. It’s your go-to place for getting back in sync with nature and unleashing your untamed side. The outdoor lodging experience features nine repurposed shipping containers that now stand as cosy cabins and a base for exploring the rugged terrain.

Starting from 13 January, the Via Ferrata experience will be open to the public every Saturday and Sunday.
