This is not the first time an adventure seeker has taken to higher territories to experience what it is like to soar like an eagle.

In June, Daily Mail journalist Jo Knowsley faced her fears on the Ras Al Khaimah (also known as RAK) in the United Arab Emirates, the world’s longest zipline at 1.75 miles long, located on the top of Jebel Jais, the Emirates’ tallest mountain

On her experience she wrote: ‘I feel like a giant bird of prey – though with a top speed of 240mph, the falcons patrolling these mountains dwarf my efforts.’
