Top 5 Exciting Activities in Dubai for Thrill Seekers – Aciotn-packed Escapades Await

Buckle up for a unique kind of ‘rollercoaster’ experience in the desert, courtesy of dune bashing! Hop into a 4x4 and hold on tight as your skilled driver takes you on a wild ride over the dunes. Feel the adrenaline surge as you traverse across the shifting sands at varying speeds and plunge down slopes and back up again. It’s a thrill-a-second ride you don’t want to miss. Of course, you can combine dune bashing with other activities too like sandboarding, quad biking and going on a camel safari as part of a remarkable desert safari in Dubai.

Ever wanted to know how a superhero or superheroine must feel as they fly over the earth or rather make a speedy descent from up high? Well, if you are heading to Dubai, you can get a taste of that experience by leaping out of a plane and feeling the rush of the wind as you fall from the heavens… don’t worry, you will be securely strapped to an experienced skydiver! Tandem skydiving here will be truly extraordinary and can be enjoyed either over the desert or the Palm Jumeirah. Suffice it to say, your heart will be racing as you feel the full force of gravity from a jump 13,000 feet above the ground amidst awe-inspiring views.

While there are plenty of thrills on land and in the air, don’t forget that adrenaline-fuelled fun is to be had on the water too! Amongst the water sports you can try here is jet skiing which is easy to enjoy on stays at properties like Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort that offer such activities; you also get the chance to explore the waters around the artificial, though no less stunning, World Islands archipelago, which provides amazing views too. Get ready to rev that engine, make some waves and feel the wind in your hair as you zoom across the glistening Arabian Gulf.

For more unique fun, you can try ziplining but not in a natural setting as is usually the case, but amidst an ‘urban jungle’ in the heart of the city!  One of the best things to do in Dubai for adrenaline junkies is to try the ziplining experience at the Dubai Marina which happens to be the longest urban zipline on the planet. Your adventure begins at one of the Amwaj Towers and will take you on an unforgettable ride that reaches speeds of up to 80 km/h; along the way, you will get a unique view of the city and attractions like the Dubai Eye, Palm Jumeirah, and Princess Tower.
 

Yes, you read that right, skiing is indeed possible here and the best thing is, it’s on offer 365 days a year! Such a magical winter wonderland is what you can expect at Ski Dubai, an enthralling indoor family attraction found within the Mall of the Emirates. You will be transported to a mesmerising destination complete with snow-laden slopes and a chairlift that will take you to the top. From skiing and snowboarding to tobogganing and even ziplining there’s much to enjoy. Of course, for a more laidback experience, don’t miss the encounters with adorable penguins as well.
