Dubai is renowned for its stunning beaches, shopping scene, wellness, luxury hotels, and fine dining. However, in recent times it’s developed a reputation for its excellent adventure tourism scene. It’s not a surprise given the city’s coastal location, desert landscape, and penchant for excitement. Here is our guide to some of those adventure experiences that await.
Water Sports
Dubai’s warm weather and calm waters make for the ideal water sports setting. Flyboarding, parasailing, jet skiing, and snorkelling are just some of the great activities you can do.

Desert Safari
This one is a bit more obvious given that Dubai is one side surrounded by dry desert. This beautiful landscape makes for the perfect outdoor adventure setting. Dune bashing, camel riding, or desert camping. Do one or do all, it’s your choice.
Urban Adventure in Dubai
Dubai’s skyscrapers are special, so much so that they’ve become thrill seekers’ paradise. You can choose to zipline at 80km per hour from the Amwaj Towers to the Dubai Marina Mall. Or abseil and edge walk at the Address Sky View Hotel.
Hot Air Balloon
Take to the skies and admire the beauty of Dubai and its beautiful surroundings from a truly memorable perspective. You have to be up early, but it’s worth it for the views and sunrise alone.
Skiing & Snowboarding
Not one you’d expect on this list, but if you fancy something different then you do have the unique option to ski or snowboard. Located in the Mall of the Emirates, the artificial slope at Ski Dubai is ideal for families and beginners.
