Ranked among the Middle East’s most dynamic holiday hotspots, Dubai is a destination synonymous with desert safaris and shopping sprees. Here are a few equally rewarding but unusual activities tourists must experience on a getaway to Dubai.
Ziplining
Thrill seekers looking to glide across the world’s longest zipline should look no further than Jebel Jais. While there are a great many ziplining locations all across the city, Dubai is also where zipliners can enjoy the world’s longest urban zipline experience via Xline Dubai Marina.
Scuba Diving
Whether you’re based at Oaks Liwa Heights thanks to seasonal Dubai hotel offers or any other resort close to the city’s coastline, avid scuba divers should not miss the opportunity to explore the seabeds of the Arabian Gulf. Teeming with marine species including reef sharks and sea turtles, the best diving spots in Dubai are found close to the World Islands and off the coast of Jumeirah Beach.
Snowboarding
Home to the globe’s largest indoor ski slopes, Ski Dubai is a winter wonderland that most tourists miss on a tour of the desert city. In addition to offering ski lessons the enclave is also ideal for snowboarding activities.
Fan Out at Real Madrid World
Often ignored due to Dubai’s more popular theme parks and splash centres, Real Madrid World is an amusement centre full of interactive exhibits, exhilarating rides and football-centric experiences.
