For countless reasons, Dubai is taken as a tamed and modest holiday destination that mainly targets the families and business class. However, there is another side of the state, which is far from being passive and calm. For adventure travellers, Dubai is a hot destination as the state has the infrastructure and resources to make it grand for the adrenaline junkies and offer them a vacation of their lifetime. This post discusses a few of the favourite things that young and wild folks find quite appealing in Dubai.

Dune Bashing

Despite being there for many years, dune bashing still holds its charm for travellers in Dubai. Bashing the dunes on cars, jeeps, skates and bikes make the visitors choose their way of rolling their rides in the captivating Arabian Desert. Many tour operators can arrange a one day or night trip for you where you can enjoy eating BBQ, smoking sheesha, watching belly dance and checking out the golden desert changing to auburn shades of twilight before turning deep, sparkly and silky blue.

Desert Camping

With complete arrangement, proper camping material and guidance, a night in desert can be an experience of a lifetime. Being away from noisy domains of the city in the calmness of the quiet desert where only winds whisper the tale of the past is no less relaxing than having a thorough meditation session. Desert camping in Dubai can be a great way to bond with your mate and family. For those looking for a different yet unique vacation in Dubai, desert camping could be a great option.

Dolphin Bay

Among many beaches that flaunt the warm and lively ambience of Dubai, Dolphin Bay is a popular one. This beach is maintained by the Atlantis. There are many ways to interact with the dolphins at this Bay, including meeting with the dolphins, deep-water swim, royal swim, dolphin scuba dive and relishing other events staged at the bay. For kids and grown up, spending time at Dolphin Bay would be an entertaining experience.

Hot Air Balloon

Being on the top balcony of the tallest sky scraper in Dubai cannot have the same effect as that induced by the hot air balloon ride. By floating in the balloon, you can see the contrast of new Dubai with its surroundings as well as enjoy the Dubai’s distinct skyline. The ride offers you the aerial view of the desert dunes, wild life parks, surrounding mountains and the outskirts of the state. Due to the hot and sunny climate of the region, hot air balloon ride works best in the morning and evening.

 

Bungee jumping

Bungee jumping from a crane has become a new craze in Dubai. The Gravity Zone is where you can have this extreme adrenaline rush. It has only been about four months since bungee jumping started in Dubai and a lot of people have already mustered-up their courage to take a 50 feet leap from the cage hanging with a crane in the Gravity Zone. No matter how many times you have done the bungee jumping before, it excites every time.
