About This Adventure

Ajloun's forest reserve is a rare thing in this part of the world: a genuine temperate forest of oak, pistachio and carob trees covering the hill country north of Amman. The RSCN-managed zip-line trail runs through the canopy on a series of interconnected lines and suspension bridges.

The experience is suitable for children and adults alike — lines range from short confidence-builders to a longer main run with views across the forested valleys. The forest is dense enough that you are genuinely flying through tree cover rather than over bare hillside.

Ajloun also has the Crusader-era Ajloun Castle nearby, making this a natural pairing: zip-lines in the morning, castle in the afternoon, back to Amman for dinner.

Weather Advisory

Rain cancels zip-line operations — wet steel cables and wooden platforms create serious fall risk. High winds are also grounds for closure. Fear of heights is the most common reason people abort mid-course; ask about the course profile before committing if you are unsure. The forest path between platforms is uneven: appropriate footwear required.
