The ride also allows you to explore the vastness of the golden sands and capture panoramic views of the magnificent desert landscapes.

3. Hot Air Balloon

For an outdoor adventure in Dubai, we recommend getting into a hot air balloon early in the morning and taking a tour of the Dubai skies.

Explore flora and fauna on the ground below as the wind gently carries you across the great Dubai desert conservation reserve.

A hot air balloon ride with your near and dear ones can get a ride in simultaneously be relaxing and exhilarating. You also enjoy a hearty breakfast and open-air transport to and from the location.

4. Ziplining

If you are travelling with friends or kids, we recommend you travel to Aventura Parks to enjoy Dubai’s largest zipline park. Swing through 35,000 square meters of lush green forest from one point to another. Choose from 85 obstacles that include an extensive selection of ziplines that suit every level of interest and proficiency. The park is a perfect destination for family-oriented outdoor adventure in Dubai, offering activities for all ages.

If you seek an adrenaline rush of a higher level, head to the world’s longest zip line on top of the Hajar mountains. With a speed of 150 km per hour and a height of 1,680 metres above sea level, the zipline will give you the best thrill of your life.

5. Speedboat Rides

One of the best outdoor activities in Dubai is getting onboard a speedboat ride to take a look around Dubai’s landmarks and magnificent coastline. The speedboat tour is available only during early mornings and late evenings to avoid the desert heat, so ensure that you book your ride slots ahead of time. Admire the fantastic views of the Palm Jumeirah, the imperial hotel Atlantis, the Burj Al Arab and the Dubai Marina from the deck of your speedboat. Capture some great moments on your camera as you pass through locations that showcase the history and culture of Dubai. Make sure you follow all safety precautions and buckle up for the ride that will give you an adrenaline rush.

6. Sandboarding

Dubai deserts offer the perfect terrain for sandboarding with its tall and steep slopes in the dunes. Sandboarding is one of the popular outdoor activities in Dubai during the desert safari Dubai trip. Leave for the safari early in the morning, and when it’s time for sandboarding, you will be professionally led on to propel down the smooth and hot dunes and feel the wind gushing on your face. Once you finish sandboarding, you will remember it as one of the most exciting things in Dubai.
