10 Popular Adventure Things to do in Dubai

Not everyone associates Dubai with adventure. For most of us, Dubai is a glamorous city known for its record-breaking constructions and luxurious architecture. But Dubai's tourism is not limited to sightseeing. The city offers an array of adventurous activities, from simple adventures to extreme ones. As an adventure enthusiast, you can enjoy different kinds of land, water, and air adventures in Dubai. Here are the top 10 popular adventure things to do in Dubai.

Skydiving

Did you know that Dubai is one of the best skydiving places in the world? SkyDive Dubai is most famous for offering memorable skydiving experiences to those interested. The place has tandem skydiving for beginners, where you go skydiving with a professional diver. You can choose to dive over the Dubai desert or Palm Jumeirah. Your skydiving experience begins when you gear up for your ride by donning the safety equipment. You will be briefed about safety instructions before you head to the airplane. You will jump with your instructor when the airplane reaches around 4000 feet. You fly freely for a few minutes, and your instructor pulls the parachute to ensure a safe landing on Earth. Your skydiving experience will be captured on camera. You can watch it whenever you want.

Hot Air Balloon Riding

If you want to enjoy the view from the top without the adrenaline rush caused by skydiving, going on a hot air balloon ride will be a better option. A hot air balloon ride is a desert activity that will give you a bird’s eye view of the desert area. The ride starts early in the morning. You need to reach the desert before sunrise. Watch as the experts get the balloon fired up for the flight. You will also have to listen to and remember the safety instructions. Then, it is time to hop into the basket. Once you are inside the basket, the hot air balloon starts ascending in the air. As your hot air balloon starts its ascent, you will get to watch the transformation of the desert from dark to night. The sunrise in the desert is something you must see. If you are lucky, you will also get to see some flora and fauna of the desert.

Skiing

Skiing in Dubai may seem like an impossible feat. But impossible is not a word in the Dubai dictionary. You can have a fabulous skiing experience at Ski Dubai, the largest indoor ski resort in the world. What’s more surprising is that Ski Dubai is located inside a shopping mall (The Mall of Emirates). The large ski mountain is the highlight of the place. The mountain is 400 meters long and 80 meters wide. It will give you ample space to practice your skiing skills. If you want to learn how to ski, you can enroll at the ski school here. You can also try other adventure activities like snowboarding, ziplining, zorbing, etc. Ski Dubai also has a large snow world. Here, you can enjoy fun snow games, rides, and activities.

Deep Diving

Scuba diving is an extreme water adventure you can enjoy in Dubai. But to have a unique underwater experience, you must visit Deep Dive Dubai. With a depth of 60 meters, Deep Dive Dubai is the deepest swimming pool in the world. During your dive here, you will come across an abandoned sunken city. You can swim inside apartments, sit inside an abandoned car or a bike, play a half-finished game of chess, try your hand at a pool game, or just swim through the different structures inside the pool. If you are new to scuba diving, you can opt for the Discovery Dive, which is meant for beginners. Experts and certificate holders can explore the pool in its entirety. The water temperature is kept constant at 30 degrees C to make it comfortable for the divers. Plus, there are several cameras inside the pool for everyone’s safety.

Ziplining

Another aerial adventure that you can do in Dubai is ziplining. XLine Dubai offers a ziplining experience like no other, right over Dubai Marina. The zipline at Dubai Marina is the world’s longest urban zipline. It is a km long and goes at 80 km/hour. Your ziplining adventure begins at the top of Ajman Towers. First, you are strapped to a safety harness. Wearing a helmet is also mandatory, after which you begin your thrilling flight. As the zipline catches speed, take time to look down to enjoy the view of the Dubai Marina. Flying over the tall buildings, luxurious yachts, the Venetian-style canal, and the hustle and bustle of the area is something you will always remember.

Desert Adventures

The desert safari is a popular tourist activity in Dubai, mainly because you can indulge in fun, adventurous activities. The desert safari usually begins with a dune-bashing ride, like a rollercoaster ride. A professional driver takes you on a joy ride all over the dunes in a 4x4 vehicle. There are more desert adventures waiting for you at the desert camp. One of the most exciting is camel riding, where you can roam around the desert Arab style. Sandboarding is also something you will enjoy. Here, you try to find balance on the ski board as you ski on the desert slopes. Then, there is quad biking, where you can drive an ATV on the dunes.

Kite Surfing

Dubai is popular for water sports. Almost all the beaches in Dubai offer a host of water sports activities. But nothing can beat kite surfing. The warm climate of Dubai throughout the year makes it ideal for kite surfing, especially during the winter season. Kite surfing is standing on a board while attached to a kite via a harness. As the kite launches into the waters, you are carried to the shore with the help of the wind. Enjoy the wind sweeping through your hair while checking out the panoramic view of the Dubai skyline. This water sport is available on Kite Beach and Nessnass Beach.

Air Walk

Those who know about Dubai will also know about Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It is a norm for people visiting Dubai to visit the observation deck on the Burj Khalifa. But if you want your visit to Burj Khalifa to be unique and exciting, you must go for the Edge Sky Walk experience. The Edge Walk happens on the 55th floor of the building, 220 meters above the ground. As the name suggests, you walk on the edge of an open balcony, testing your bravery and enjoying the view of the city. As you will be secured with multiple harnesses, you can walk around the edge handsfree. Thrill enthusiasts can also swing from the edge with the world underneath your feet.

Flyboarding

Flyboarding is a water sport that has captured the attention of the world right from the time it was introduced a few years ago. This water sport happens on a flyboard attached to a hydro-powered tube that propels the ride up in the air. If you are trying it for the first time, it may take some time to get your balance on the board. But it is not impossible. Flyboarding is available at Jumeirah Beach. You can learn the basics from an instructor before hopping on board. It may require a few tries to get the hang of it. But you can enjoy soaring up in the sky multiple times when you do.

Ice-Skating

Dubai weather can be brutal, especially during the day. To enjoy cool weather while having fun, you must head to Dubai Ice Rink for an ice-skating session. The Dubai Ice Rink is as large as 28 football grounds. Both kids and adults can have fun skating here. Dubai Ice Rink also offers classes for those who want to learn ice skating. You not only get to learn some cool ice-skating skills but also showcase them in front of the public during the ice dancing show at the end of the course. Even if you do not want to join the course, Dubai Ice Rink lets you spend a relaxing yet thrilling afternoon or evening with your family. Dubai's adventures will make your holiday in the city exciting and dramatic. Take pictures and videos of your adventures to flaunt on your social media handles.

These views are on fire! 🔥 Taken with my favorite camera and lens: Sony a7 III and my Sony 24-70mm f2.8 G Master.

This lens is great for a few reasons: I can capture wide landscapes, I can zoom in and get tighter shots, it's super sharp, and it's fast! The perfect versatile lens for my travel and landscape work, as well as in my studio for product photography.

📷: Sony Alpha a7 III | 24-70mm f2.8 GM | 1/200 sec | f10 | ISO 100 |

I just closed an oblivion gate and when I got back to Cyrodiil, it was raining.

Can you imagine the kind of catharsis that the hok would feel from that? The hot wastes of Oblivion getting to them and when they finally pull the stone out, and Tamriel comes back to them and they feel the cool waters of rain? I bet they'd feel so alive.

Edit: I made a followup.
