Kitesurfing
True to its name, Kite Beach is the go-to spot for kitesurfing. Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned pro, there’s a thrill in mastering this sport that combines aspects of surfing, windsurfing and paragliding. Bonus? It’s a full-body workout that’s way more fun than the gym! Pro tip: stay at properties like Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai that offer a free shuttle to the beach.
Flyboarding
Flyboarding gives you the chance to be the superhero you have always dreamed of being. Powered by jets of water, you will be lifted to around nine metres in the air, soaring above like Iron Man or Captain Marvel! When looking for the best Dubai staycation deals, choose a property near the Dubai Marina and Jumeirah areas where you can try this activity.
Jet Skiing
For those who prefer to keep their thrills a bit closer to the water, jet skiing is an absolute must. Zip across the sea on a guided tour and take in iconic sights like the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab. Some tours even take you around the famous Palm Jumeirah, ensuring your sightseeing comes with a serious boost of adrenaline. Just try not to get too distracted by the views!
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving here is an adventure in itself, with year-round opportunities on offer out at sea. For a next-level experience, head to Deep Dive Dubai, the deepest diving pool on the planet. Still want more? Try diving with sharks at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo because there’s nothing like coming face-to-face with a sand tiger shark to get your heart racing!
