A computer-generated video that shows a camel going on a zipline while wearing a helmet is going viral. According to The National, a media house based out of Abu Dhabi, this video was reportedly created by Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority to promote Jais Flight, the longest zipline in the world.

This clip was posted on Instagram by UAE travel agency Rayna Tours on August 10. In the caption, the travel agency clarified that the camel is not real and is a result of CGI. So far it has over 4.3 lakh likes. The text over the video said, “Only in UAE”.

As per the tourism website of Ras Al Khaimah, the famed Jais Flight is located atop the Jebel Jais mountain peak in Ras Al Khaimah. The adrenaline-fueled zipline takes one at the “speeds of between 120 kmph and 150 kmph for almost three hair-raising minutes across deep ravines, canyons and through jagged peaks that lie 1680 meters above sea level”. So far over 70,000 people have experienced the Jais Flight since its opening in 2018.
