abseiling.jpg Abseiling in the United Arab Emirates and the neighbouring GCC countries is actually possible. This is great news to tourists and expats in the UAE who dream of doing or at least trying this kind of sport. For some who have not heard about abseiling - according to Wikipedia’s definition, abseiling is  the process of descending a rope under control, used in rock climbing, mountaineering, caving and canyoneering; used to descend cliffs or slopes too steep to walk down.

Abseiling is fun and at the same time a dangerous sport. What makes this sport dangerous other than the climbing itself is that, the ropes must constantly bear the full weight of the participants. The ropes sometimes get jammed or get sliced by sharp edges of rocks. However with proper guidance and practice you may come out victorious in this sport. This activity is dangerous; however participants can increase their safety by wearing the specialist gear as required.

There are many areas in the UAE and GCC countries particularly Oman where anyone can go abseiling. Good modern highways allow quick access, with no more than 2 to 4 hours drive to these locations from different Emirates, making abseiling in the UAE accessible to anyone thats  interested.

The mountains in Musandam, the caves in Oman and mountains in Hatta are few examples of places in the UAE that you can explore and enjoy abseiling as its best. However, there are also hidden wadis and mountain ranges in the UAE for abseiling. You just need to find the right people and the right tour companies to discover these places.  Know a great place for abseiling?  Discuss it on the forums here.
