Sports and leisure activities Dubai

Water park enthusiasts will have a blast in the middle of this space of 30 attractions, adapted to different degrees of bravery. Challenge the Wipeout, which consists of standing on a surfboard in the middle of a wave! For a fairly high price, the Wadi Cabana with deckchairs, sunshades, table, chairs and a cooler for 4 people can be booked near the inner river. Option of the Fish-Spa, where the toothless fish Garra Ruffa gives you a natural peeling. The advantage compared to Aquaventure is the rather central location of this park.

In this charming little port, the Marseille cousins Nico and Yanis, are taking great care to make their clients live an unforgettable experience. The team takes care of everything, even the photos! Spinning (after a quick briefing) on the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, alone or in pairs on a jet-ski, those who like speed will be served (peaks of 100 km/h)! In full confidence with the instructors' supervision. But to each his own rhythm. Several formulas are possible, 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, with swimming breaks included at your convenience.

Introducing, Dubai's undisputed specialist in Jet-Ski, Flyboard and E-foil. At the helm: the talented Steven Dauliach, a young Frenchman with a prestigious record of 14 gold medals, 7 of which he won in world championships. The Frenchman runs his business like his prestigious sporting career: with rigor, professionalism, perfectionism and a great deal of know-how. The first Jet-Ski operator to set up in Dubai, Steven Dauliach is the man who convinced the local authorities that Jet-Skiing could be fun, not risky.

Attending a race on the camelodrome is never a disappointment. You can't bet on it, but seeing the ballet of the dromedaries who rode in their pompoms and colourful muzzles is a real spectacle. The 4x4s follow their animals to remote control the little robots perched on top of their humps. Camelids can run up to 60 kilometres per hour. Arabic commentaries add to the exoticism and if you like beautiful photos, this will be a getaway that will really be worth it! Admission is free.

Located 25 minutes from the centre of Dubai, it is one of the most popular activities among Dubai residents. 3 circuits of 30, 50 and 80 kilometers allow you to pedal in the middle of the desert. It's simply magical. If you don't have a bike, no worries! The small shop located at the start allows you to rent good equipment, helmet included and for the whole family. If you want to venture beyond the 30 km, make sure you have enough water and a fully charged phone. Avoid the hottest hours.

If you validate all the physical conditions (weigh between 50 and 100 kg and measure more than 130 cm, be in good physical condition and not be pregnant), and if you like strong sensations, this activity is for you. You will embark on the longest urban zip line in the world and launch yourself at more than 80 km/hour between the skyscrapers of the Marina at more than 170 meters above the ground and held by a single harness. It can be done solo or in tandem. It takes almost 90 minutes from your arrival to the end. Breathtaking!

Solidly motorized, rigid-hulled inflatable canaries cut through the waves. Option of discovering the Marina at low speed, touring the Palm and the Burj at normal speed, or the Ultimate Thrill Ride (charters only and forbidden to under-12s), in front of Spinney's on the Dubai Marina Walk, at full throttle. We recommend you book them to watch the sunset and the Marina at night, but be sure to book well, as this is also the most popular time slot. Great shots to be had!

In this kind of activities, the first guarantee is the safety, the quality of the equipment, the training of the guides and the technical team. Big Red Motorsports & Adventure tours is a very serious agency that offers outings in the Dubai desert with very good equipment and experienced guides. Quad accidents happen more often than we think, so be careful, even if we have no problem to recommend this agency!

Beach club during the day, huge pool with cabanas available on a "first come, first served" basis, bar and club at night, this versatile place has no shortage of events to please as many people as possible. On Thursdays, the "house party" pre-cabin offers to party like a friend's house, with table soccer and other "socializing " games. Zero Gravity is the place to party in the middle of the day, while enjoying the sun, the view of the Marina and the company of all the golden youth of Dubai.

This is a public beach where you can perfectly settle with your towel without taking a deckchair. It is an ideal beach for families. The water is very calm, the beach is supervised, and it has all the amenities installed in the small huts with acidulous colors which remind our beaches of Northern France. Children are king, and right behind, a plethora of restaurants, cafes and ice cream vendors await you. La Mer is located right next to the Satwa district in the heart of Jumeirah.

The club was founded in 1974 thanks to the then ruler Sheikh Rashid al Maktoum. In other words, it is an institution in Dubai. The club offers sailing lessons all year round. The season for sailing is mainly from October to the end of April, and it is not uncommon to see dozens of sailing boats on the horizon along the coast of the small emirate. Very active, it organizes races every Friday during the season. The club house houses a restaurant and a café.

This is the popular beach in Dubai. You go there as much to see as to be seen. On weekends, a long line of cars tries to reach the Holy Grail. Forget the sloppy dress code. No one will be surprised to see you arrive in your beachwear with a designer bag! Live singer, DJ, all the ingredients are there to have a good day. On the beach side, it's a small rectangle of sand so don't expect a long stretch in front of a turquoise sea: you're in the middle of the city ten minutes from the skyscrapers.

Founded in 2009 by Emirati enthusiasts Adel Abu Haliqa and Alex Boulting, this is the only dive club in the emirates to offer free diving (deep snorkeling with fins and mask). They organize weekend trips for snorkeling enthusiasts to discover the depths of the Gulf and the underwater fauna. Introductory and advanced courses take place every month in the pool and then at sea. An extraordinary experience that also pays tribute to pearl fishermen!
