Here’s your ultimate guide to getting wet and wild in Dubai…
OK, it might be a little cliche to be talking about the rising temperatures in the UAE, but there’s no escaping the heat, and most of us still clinging to our sun loungers will soon have to admit defeat.
If you don’t want to retreat indoors just yet, there are so many fun activities to do across the Arabian Gulf.
From super chill to mega thrills, here’s our pick of awesome water sports you need to try now…
Banana Ride
We’ve all been on a banana boat in our time haven’t we? If not, it’s definitely a great one to ease you into water sports. Just be careful you don’t fall off.
Donut Ride
This one’s perfect for families or a fun day out with friends. This fifteen minute ride will see you hold on for dear life as you fly along the water.
