Dubai has many fun activities, and you can do whatever you want as long as you have money. There are many activities you can do, and today I will introduce you to some of them. You can also choose these activities when you get there.
Dune Bashing
This entertainment is a must-try experience in Dubai, offering a thrilling ride through the desert. Once the car enters the desert, the driver starts to sway left and right. However, it starts on relatively flat desert terrain, allowing you to quickly adapt to the environment. After a while, the car will drive to the front of the dunes. The driver will step on the gas pedal and drive up. As the height and slope increase, you may even reach a steep slope of 60-70 degrees. At this time, you can hear the roaring engine, the car is almost vertical, which is really frightening. The desert is located in eastern Dubai, and the usual time for the tour is from around 3 PM until sunset.
【How to book】You can sign up at a local travel agency, and the price will vary depending on the dune bashing team, ranging from 150 to 300 Dirhams. If you don’t want to join a group and want to charter a car, it will cost about 1000 Dirhams. If you find it troublesome to book locally, you can purchase it online in advance, not only will you get a discount, but you will also get a free barbecue dinner or belly dancing performance.
【Estimated time】About four hours.
【Tips】The driver may have given you a vomit bag before getting on the car. Be sure to keep it handy. Honestly, people who are prone to motion sickness are not suitable for this activity. If you really want to play, sit in the back.
Skydiving
The descent actually only takes 5-6 minutes, with a freefall lasting for half a minute to a minute. After opening the parachute, it slowly descends. When you open your eyes to look at the world below, you will find that humans are so small, but we are so powerful. Because skydiving here is a globally renowned and popular activity, it requires booking several months in advance. Similarly, buying skydiving tickets online has some discounts.
【Special Note】Because the weather in Dubai is too hot in the summer, the hot air balloon company has stipulated that flights will be suspended from June 1st to September 1st.
Hot Air Balloon
If you really can’t accept the excitement of skydiving, it’s okay, we have other recommendations. You may have some impressions of the hot air balloon ride in Turkey from “Sisters on a Mission”. There is a city called Abu Dhabi near Dubai, which has a very famous desert sunrise hot air balloon flight activity. Watching the hot air balloon ignite in the darkness, slowly rising in the flames, watching the sun rise in the distance on the other side of the desert.
【How to get there】Because the location is relatively remote, non-self-driving tourists need to join a tour group from a travel agency or buy a hot air balloon experience package like on Mafengwo. This includes pick-up from Dubai hotels, which is very convenient.
【Estimated time】Three hours
【Special Note】Because the weather in Dubai is too hot in the summer, the hot air balloon company has stipulated that flights will be suspended from June 1st to September 9th.
Luxury Yacht
As you sail on a luxurious private yacht, riding the waves towards the blue sky on the sea, you are not only enjoying the VIP service, admiring the beautiful seascape, but also seeing sights that you cannot see on land!
During the island tour, you will see the world’s “highest and most twisted” twisted tower, the magnificent and luxurious Burj Al Arab, and the mythical Atlantis Hotel, all of which are must-see attractions when traveling to Dubai. They are also the most charming landscapes of Dubai. Option 1【Luxury Yacht Sightseeing Tour (Daytime)】The yacht will take you from under the seven-star Burj Al Arab, along the sea, slowly admiring the beautiful scenery of the Arabian Gulf, the artificial islands spread out on the vast sea. Besides flying in the air, you can only get a glimpse of them. Taking a yacht out to sea allows you to see these “miracles” up close. It’s a pleasant experience to slowly circle these human miracles and admire them up close. Option 2【Dubai Creek Night Cruise (Evening)】Dubai Creek is a good place to feel the pulse of Dubai. It extends inland for about 10 kilometers, and the seawater divides Dubai into two parts: the new area and the old area. A wooden boat night cruise on Dubai Creek or a glass boat night cruise in the Marina New Area are both super cost-effective. They provide pick-up and drop-off services, and there is dinner and Sufi dance performances on the boat. The boat provides a buffet, and the taste is actually pretty good.
Helicopter or Seaplane
Want to get a panoramic view of luxurious Dubai? Besides choosing to climb the Burj Khalifa, you can also get a more comprehensive view of Dubai through a helicopter ride or a seaplane ride!
【Helicopter Ride】It’s still worth taking a ride, especially when looking at the Palm Jumeirah, the Burj Al Arab, and the Burj Khalifa from the air. It’s completely different from viewing them from the ground. Try to choose a time after 12 noon. In the morning and evening, there is fog in the distance, so avoid those times.
Flight duration: 12 minutes, 15 minutes, 17 minutes, 22 minutes, 40 minutes; different flight durations have different prices.
Cabin position: Right front of the pilot, left front of the co-pilot, 4 seats in the back, with a capacity of 5 people at a time;
You can book at the hotel or online. Booking online will be cheaper. If you need to, you can ask the helicopter company to provide pick-up services. 【Seaplane Ride】A seaplane is an aircraft that can take off, land, and dock on water. Taking a small seaplane to gaze down on Dubai for 25 minutes, you can see Dubai’s most popular famous tourist attractions, including: the famous World Islands, Palm Jumeirah (Atlantis Hotel), Jumeirah Beach, seven-star hotels, the world’s tallest building, the scenery along the Dubai Creek, etc. Enjoying the cityscape of Dubai from a different perspective is definitely an ultimate experience!
