Adventure activities in Dubai, Part I (Jet Ski,Flyboard)

Adventure activities in Dubai


The dazzling city of Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates. Apart from being a major city, it also forms one of the seven emirates of the country and shares borders with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast. The Persian Gulf borders the western coast of the emirate.No doubt, Dubai tells a story of man-made architecture but what one might not be aware is that, it is the heaven for ultimate adventure sports.

Dubai is the paradise for adventure freaks around the globe.Even if you are not an adventure junkie, you can still enjoy few activities at leisure and enjoy the bounties that nature has to offer.There are a host of other activities that are man-made and all those too tickle your gush of adrenaline.

Lets start with a few ones this blog and you will have a fair insight of how to plan your trip anywhere from around the globe accordingly so that you can use your time efficiently and enjoyably. There is a wide array of watersports to choose from which will satiate the curiosity of a wild watersport enthusiast.

Jet Ski is the most popular activity in an around the Persian Gulf where you can have amazing glimpses of Burj Al Arab, Atlantis,Sheikh Palace, the Palm(Dubai Marina) from the sea side. DAY N NIGHT YACHTS N BOAT, DUBAI was the operator for the jet ski we chose. The jet skis that they provide are in the range from Yamaha, 700 cc to 1100 cc.The instructors are affluent in supervision and ensure proper safety instructions are followed.Life jackets are provided and supervisors keep the skis under their strict monitoring. They charge 350 Dirhams for a 30 min tour and trust you me, it is definitely worth it.

The essential requirement is a copy of ID proof (passport for foreign nationals) and one is required to sign a disclaimer form before venturing out in the sea.My supervisor was a guy from Bangladesh and he ensured that we thoroughly enjoy the experience.Lost in the beauty of the splashing waters, I had probably deviated from the main route and he was kind and cautious enough to go back and search my jet ski.

Among the other watersports, fly boarding was another activity which tickled my senses. It allows you to take off from the water completely, stand on your feet and then dive into the salty water from that height.. The key factor in enjoying a flyboard is the balancing part and once you have mastered the art, you can be sure of enjoying the activity thoroughly.

It is also known as Zapata or flyboard Zapata and Dubai hosted the 2014 and 2015 editions of the World cup.The hydro-propulsion forces created by redirecting the seawater pressure offer a unique adrenaline rush and a total freedom of movement to the rider allowing him to showcase a collection of freestyle moves.
