Extreme Fun

Dubai has no shortage of adrenaline-pumping thrills. Take the leap with Skydive Dubai and free-fall from 4,000 metres, with unbeatable views of Palm Jumeirah or the desert below. For a different kind of rush, try the XLine, the world’s longest urban zipline, soaring across Dubai Marina at speeds up to 80 km/h. If you’re looking for something different, the XDubai Slingshot at Kite Beach launches you 120 metres into the air at speeds of up to 100 km/h, with guided safety briefings and a total experience of around 15 minutes.
