Dubai : High Octane Adventure

There is no shortage of adrenaline-fueled adventures in and around Dubai. This cluster features high-octane activities, from zooming down ziplines and skiing on indoor slopes to extreme water sports that will get your heart racing.

• Ziplining: Soar through the air on one of Dubai’s zipline attractions – for example, the XLine over Dubai Marina – reaching high speeds while enjoying a bird’s-eye view of the city.
• Ski Dubai: Hit the slopes at Ski Dubai (inside Mall of the Emirates), an indoor ski park where you can ski or snowboard on real snow and even meet penguins, all in the middle of the desert.
• Jet Ski: Experience high-speed thrills on the water by riding a jet ski off Dubai’s coastline, often with the backdrop of iconic buildings like the Burj Al Arab.
• Flyboarding: Strap on a flyboard, a water-propelled jetpack that lifts you above the sea, allowing adventurous riders to hover and dive in a display of balance and nerve.
• Scuba Diving: Take the plunge into the Gulf’s waters on a scuba dive, or even dive in special locations like aquarium tanks, for an adrenaline rush beneath the waves.
• The Lost Chambers (Shark Dive): This aquarium at Atlantis offers thrill-seekers the chance to dive in a tank filled with sharks and tropical fish, adding a dose of adventure to a marine encounter.
