Are you planning on heading to Dubai this summer? There's no better choice for a holiday! Here are a few fun things you can do while you're holidaying in the UAE!
Snow, in the Middle East?! You got that right! Sort of. Ski Dubai is located within the Mall of Emirates and is suitable for visitors of all ages! This indoor ski area boasts a high ice mountain, which is 85 metres high, offering ski enthusiasts different slopes and angles to ski on. Not too far from many luxury resorts in Dubai the likes of Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort, Ski Dubai is a must try!
Another exciting activity is going dune bashing, and this is extremely popular in Dubai! A trained dune basher will drive a Hummer across the desert, bashing the sand dunes, which makes for an exhilarating experience. There are morning and evening sessions.
Dubai is a land of adventure, and this is a fun way to experience Dubai landscapes from the water. You will be flying over water, mainly via the support of a water propulsion device, sometimes at speeds of 40 kilometres per hour! This a unique and unforgettable experience.
Dubai was once, entirely desert. Sandboarding is much like skiing or snowboarding, except it's done in the desert! This is a once-in-a-lifetime type of experience, as you can glide across the warm sand and feel the winds blowing across your face. You need to be over 13 years to try your hand at sandboarding, however!
This activity is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike! Not for the faint of heart, sky diving gives you the rare opportunity to witness Dubai from an angle like no other! Dubai is known for its unique buildings and structures, and getting to see these from an aerial view is bound to be as memorable as it gets. You will be jumping from heights of a whopping 4000 metres; however, you'll be with a guide who has plenty of experience! This is your chance to witness the Dubai skyline from a whole other light.
Ever had the chance to get up close and personal with sharks? Well, here's your chance! This activity is provided by the Dubai Mall, which features a splendid aquarium allowing you to venture into bodies of water with many aquatic animals such as sharks! This activity is reserved for those over 10 years of age; however, this is a completely safe experience for all involved.
What is a trip to Dubai without a jet ski ride! The thrill of jet skiing is unmatched, and this is another way to sightsee all of Dubai in one go! If you have prior experience operating a jet ski, you're pretty much set! However, there are precautionary measures you will have to take before you embark on one hour of memorable fun!
