| Make the best of Dubai monsoons: Top 10 Adventure & Sports Activities - Times of India Posted: 14 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT Dubai is a city of superlatives. From the 'tallest' to the 'biggest,' this city seeks to impress and with aplomb. And this time around, your Dubai summer holiday will get better with thrilling rides, amazing adventures, and epic deals that you can book at the Dubai Summer Surprises festival where you can book your next adventure from the top 10 activities Dubai has to offer! Check them out and fly high to the unique experiences that this city has to offer. 1.SkyDive  Admire everything from above with Skydive Dubai, one of the world's best in aerial sports. Experience a breathtaking free-fall through the skies of Dubai at the iconic Palm Jumeirah or over the Arabian desert. Although Dubai is an impressive sight from the ground, flying high above the city takes things to new heights. The glorious year-round sunshine in the city makes skydiving the perfect activity to experience the beautiful weather and pristine views. 2. Flyboarding It's an exhilarating experience, to say the least. Don't worry, because there are instructors to guide you through everything. Remember to bring a trusty videographer with you to capture all the action! Prices start from AED300 per person for 20 minutes. It's the perfect addition to any adventure holiday in Dubai. 3. Wild Wadi  One of the best water parks you'll find anywhere in the world is the Wild Wadi Waterpark, a popular ticket any time of the year- thanks to Dubai's warm weather. Sitting right on the shore of the city's iconic Burj Al Arab, it's a true Arabian water experience. Wild Wadi is themed around the tale of the classic Arabian character Juha and offers a variety of pulsating rides, slides and activities for all ages. If relaxation is your tonic, the gentle Wave Pool is a great way to rock away the day. Or, you can hire a private cabana for some quiet downtime at the Lazy River. Kids will want to explore Juha's Dhow and Lagoon, a giant playground offering a number of different slides. The giant tipping bucket is guaranteed to leave you drenched if you happen to be standing anywhere nearby. For something with a bit more tempo and excitement, there are a number of speed slides to tempt you from your lounge chair. Try your hand at the Flood River Flyer, or test your limits on the Jumeirah Sceirah. There's also a surfing simulator to try and fight the water flow on a surfboard or bodyboard. Bonus offer: Use your Visa card at Wild Wadi Waterpark with only AED 99 on Sundays! 4. Seawings Everyone has a window seat on a Seawings flight- the perfect view for gliding over Dubai's skyline. From the moment you step onboard this air-conditioned, nine-passenger seat Cessna 208 Caravan Seaplane, you'll feel like a VIP. Get comfortable in your leather seat and prepare to take off across the waves of the Arabian Gulf and into the cloudless blue sky. This is your opportunity to see a completely different perspective of this bustling city. Look down and see how the Islands of The Worlds emerge from the water and appreciate how The Palm Jumeirah got its name. Get a good look at the pinnacle of the Burj Khalifa impossible to see from the ground too – a rare sight to be behold. Marvel at the dazzling skyline of twisting skyscrapers, mosques, hotels and beaches. Seawings offers various packages in Dubai, taking off from either the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, or the Jebel Ali Golf Resort. Flights last approximately 40 minutes and rest assured, you'll be in expert hands. The pilots have been flying for almost 20 years, leaving you free to relax, take in the views, and click away with your camera. 5. Jet Skiing  If there were any doubts about Dubai's love for kitesurfing, all you'd have to do is visit its namesake, the Kite Beach. It's on this patch of sand that both amateurs and professionals attempt their hand at this extreme sport, thanks to plenty of lessons and hiring facilities like Dukite. The sport requires you to grip onto a handle attached to a parachute – which you then manoeuvre to increase speed and change direction. Not only is it a wild ride, it's also a great full-body workout. Swap the board for just a parachute, and you've got parasailing. This uninitiated sport doesn't require experience with manoeuvring through the wind, because you are pulled behind a boat on a parasail that will lift you up to almost 150m in the air. It's an amazing way to experience the windy sport whilst enjoying the elevated view of Dubai. 6. Dubai Parks and Resorts With three theme parks and one waterpark, Dubai Parks and Resorts offers visitors a thrilling experience like no other. Featuring more than 100 incredible indoor and outdoor rides and attractions at Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai, Legoland Dubai and Legoland Water Park, this labyrinth of fun will keep young hearts enthralled. What's more, at the centrally located Riverland entertainment and dining boulevard, visitors will find delightful options for the whole family. You can even stay in the middle of the action at Lapita Hotel, a Polynesian-themed family resort inside the park. Buy your Motiongate Dubai ticket for the day and upgrade to a Summer Play Pass for free- including unlimited admission to Motiongate Dubai until September 14th, 2019. 7. Zipline at Dubai Marina  The XLine Dubai Marina takes thrill seekers all the way from the Amwaj Towers in JBR to Dubai Marina Mall. Twice the length of the last zipline, at 1km, it's been described as the world's longest urban zipline, and reaches speeds of up to 80km/hr. There are two zip lines next to each other, so if you don't fancy flying solo, you can convince a friend or family member to take on the zipline at the same time as you. All the action will be caught on camera, so you'll be free to take home videos and photos of your mid-air adventure. Enjoy discounted summer prices until September 2019 with AED399 for one (normally AED650) and AED720 for two (normally AED1200). 9. Dubai Dolphinarium  At Dubai Dolphinarium bottlenose dolphins and fur seals are the stars of the show. These fascinating creatures dance, juggle, play ball, jump through hoops and even paint. On selected afternoons, guests even have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins. You can also deliver one of their daily meals, and they'll soon want to be your best friend. Or, take the experience to the next level and become a trainer for the day. Learn all about the dolphins and seals, how they live, how they play and how they get better when they're sick. However, Dubai Dolphinarium isn't just limited to these mammals. You can check out birds from all around the world several times a day. See 20 different species, including cockatoos from Australia and macaws from South America. 10. Cycling in Al Qudra Al Qudra Cycling Track is a popular destination among Dubai's adventure seekers. The track is 86 kilometres, boasting amazing views of the desert where riders may even catch a glimpse of some local wildlife like the oryx. Some say that the best time to ride is at sunrise because the views and feeling of the morning breeze are unparalleled. But, the sunsets are just as beautiful too. Additionally, the path is equipped with resting stations along the way that offer benches and shade. You'll also find restrooms located where the Bab Al Shams Road meets Al Qudra. So, book your tickets and get set for some unadulterated adventure this monsoon! Disclaimer: This story has been published on behalf of Dubai Tourism by Times Internet's Spotlight Team. |
