7 best things to do in the desert of Dubai – Dive into the dunes!

The sandy dune of this stunning city awaits those who are adventurous enough to get their adrenaline pumping and explore all the desert has to offer. Simply buckle up and hold on tight as you see the wonders of the desert.

1

Jump on a hot air balloon

As it turns out, it did not take humans long to discover the wonders of a hot air balloon. This inflatable balloon is in stark contrast to ordinary modes of flight in such a way that it gently lifts you into the air. It allows you to simply watch as you drift away from the earth into a new element. The sound of the fire and wind in the background as people fade away and you are left to a panoramic view of the world that is rarely seen. Seas of sand blazing bronzed in the sun surround you with distant landscapes and cities visible to the squinting eyes. There is nothing that quite compares to the moments of silence as you float across the air in a hot air balloon.

Don't miss out on sandboarding

You may be familiar with the concept of snowboarding, but did you ever imagine that one day there would be such a thing as sandboarding? What is for certain is that people in Dubai certainly thought about it and decided to give it a try! It seems quite inevitable given the large dunes of golden sand that lines the horizon in places around Dubai. As a thrill-seeker, this novelty may be an experience to not be missed! There is no need to go up large mountains, simply strap yourself on to your typical board and let gravity do its work as you begin to tilt at an angle on the edge of the biggest sand dune you can find.

The rush of sky diving awaits

Perhaps you are looking for an experience that is life-changing, something that pushes you to the very edge of your comfort zone and then kicks you over it. Perhaps, you wish to have an epiphany about your life come plummeting into your mind as you yourself plummets to the ground from roughly 4KM in the sky or you simply want to relive that rush once more.

Ride an ATV

There is nothing quite like the joy of zooming along sand dunes with the thrum of a powerful engine underneath you. If you are staying at the Citadines Culture Village Dubai which is also one of the Dubai hotel apartments with a kitchen then be sure to ask the staff how to get to the Big Red which is a popular sand dune in the area.

Spend the night in the desert

For many people, this may be a dream come true where they get to spend under the starry skies while others may shirk at the idea of being in the middle of nowhere. However, it is not as unpleasant as one may imagine as there are plenty of glamping opportunities available.
