For all its opulent hotels and majestic buildings, Dubai is very much an outdoor lover’s playground, where thrilling adventures and new experiences await at every turn. Here are some of the best outdoor activities to enjoy in and around Central Dubai.
Walk Along the Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk
This seaside path stretches for 11 kilometres and is 6 metres wide, making it a spacious promenade from which to enjoy the cooling sea breeze, not far from the likes of Damac Maison Aykon City. An evening stroll is the perfect way to unwind while taking in the city’s grand sights and skyline.
Have an Adventure at Aventura Parks
Featuring over 80 obstacles, Aventura Parks will have you testing your physical strength and agility while still having plenty of fun. Making your way around the course will have you swinging from ropes, racing down ziplines and crossing shaky bridges, making it the perfect activity for an adrenaline-fuelled morning.
Enjoy Thrilling Watersports
The pristine coastline not far from Central Dubai is perfect for a host of watersports, including jet skiing, wakeboarding and parasailing. It’s a nice change of pace after a few hours relaxing at your hotel apartment in Dubai.
Skydiving Over the City
Another great way to take in the city’s splendour is from high up in the sky while you’re skydiving amidst the clouds. If you’ve never done it before, there’ll be a team of experienced instructors to guide you, making sure you’re safe while floating through the air taking in the city’s iconic skyscrapers.
