A 36 km (22 miles) road has been built, which hairpins most of the way up the mountain on the United Arab Emirates side.

After a security checkpoint, the road continues up a few kilometers further to the world's longest zip-line and an Etisalat cell tower, as well as a large flat area used for outdoor shows and parking.

It is 2,832 m (9,291 ft) long, and users travel at speeds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph),[9][10] There are, or have been, plans in place to build a hotel, cable car, paragliding launch ramp, golf course and ski slope following the opening of the road.
