Dubai is undeterred to be much of deserts and skyscrapers but the city has so many different heart thrilling activities you can do when you are in the country.
The number one outdoor activity in Dubai is the Base Jump from the Burj Khalifa Pinnacle. The observation deck on Burj Khalifa is located on the 148th floor and the Base Jump is located on the 163rd Floor. Imagine yourself soaring off the top of the tallest building in Dubai over the beautiful city as your brain and heart get to experience fear and excitement simultaneously. You are able to book this excursion through many companies and most hotel suites in Dubai have leaflets about this activity as it is one of the most sought after activities for locals and tourists alike. This is an excursion that will give you the experience to remember for the rest of your life.
Skydiving is an excursion that can be found around the world in so many different locations. However, if you are in Dubai and fail to enjoy skydiving over The Palm Islands you have not experienced Dubai to its fullest. The three man-made islands Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Deira Island are absolutely stunning from a bird's eye view. Burj Al Arab, Oaks Liwa Heights, Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, and many other locations can be spotted from high up in the sky.
Give the Fast & Furious lover in you a chance to glow as you get to explore the sand dunes in Dubai while racing against the winds leaving behind nothing but a mark on the vast desert. As you speed up and hit that 4th gear you will be able to see how the sand is gushing out of the tyres of the SUV you are steering away to your heart's content. While many believe this is an activity for adrenaline junkies this is an exciting experience for anyone who loves to drive.
While the desert outlines one side of Dubai the other side is outlined by the big blue ocean which opens the opportunity for many different water sports. One of the most thrilling activities you can try in Dubai is Fly Boarding. This amphibious activity can be mastered rather easily and you are able to give yourself a major adrenaline rush. If you are a lover of heart-throbbing activities you are bound to love FlyBoarding.
Among the many things where Dubai is at the top of the list, another factor that Dubai is able to proudly boast about is having the longest zip line. The zip line is located more than 1800 feet above the Dubai fountains and it takes about 40 seconds to complete the excursion at about 60-70 kilometres per hour. Not only do you get to feel the blood pumping in your heart you will also get to see a panoramic view of Dubai while you fly over. The activity is available 24 hours a day making it absolutely amazing as the view is going to be different in the sunrise, afternoon, sunset and night time.
