Premium adrenaline – TOP 5 extreme attractions in the Emirates that will make you scream your last

Are you ready to challenge gravity?

The Emirates is not just gold, luxury and champagne at sunset. It is also a true paradise for fans of extreme experiences. If you are looking for something more than a selfie by the Burj Khalifa – read on. There will be no boredom here. There will be a rush of air, goosebumps and the question: “did I really just do that?!”

1. Skydiving over Palm Jumeirah – a premium classic

Price : Approx. AED 2,300 (Approx. USD 600)
Location : Skydive Dubai – Marina

Imagine: you’re strapped into your instructor, the plane door opens, and below you – the iconic Palm Jumeirah, the turquoise sea and Downtown in the background. Then there’s just 60 seconds of free fall and a scream that mixes with the wind.

🛩️ Tip from the experienced : Bring dark glasses and don’t eat a heavy breakfast. Seriously.

2. Zipline over the abyss – Jebel Jais Flight

Price : Approx. 450 AED (120 USD)
Location : Ras Al Khaimah

The world’s longest zipline – 2.8 km above a mountain gorge. You lie in the Superman position, you shoot at speeds of up to 150 km/h and for a moment you feel like a Marvel character. For a moment, because then you return to earth… with a banana on your face.

🏔️ Fun fact : Jebel Jais is the highest peak in the UAE. A great day trip from Dubai.

3. Desert Buggy Safari – or Mad Max in Arabic

Price : from AED 650 for a 2-seater buggy for 1 hour
Location : Lahbab Desert (approx. 45 min from Dubai)

This is no ordinary safari. This is a race across sand dunes, with the engine roaring and sand between your teeth. Don’t worry – you get goggles, a helmet and… an endless adrenaline rush.

🔥 Pro tip : Choose an hour before sunset – light + emotion = perfect Reels.

4. Water Wall Climbing – CLYMB Abu Dhabi

Price : from AED 215 (USD 60)
Location : Yas Island, Abu Dhabi

CLYMB is home to the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall (43m). And if climbing doesn’t move you – why not try indoor skydiving in a vertical tunnel with tornado-force winds?

🧗‍♀️ Style tip : Take sports clothes, but don’t forget about perfect makeup – Reels is like Red Bull here.

5. Jetcar on Marina Bay – futuristic James Bond vibe

Price : from AED 550 for 20-30 min
Location : Dubai Marina

It’s not a boat. It’s not a car. It’s a Jetcar – a water car that looks like a Lamborghini and hurtles across the bay, leaving a tsunami of emotions in its wake. Whether you’re driving alone or with a partner, the view of the Marina skyline from this vantage point? Priceless.

🚘 Must-do : Wear something contrasting – white jumpsuit + black glasses = insta hit.

Okay, but is it worth it?

If you’re looking for something that beats the usual sightseeing , the Emirates has a ready-made set of top-shelf thrills for you. It’s not just about the courage – it’s about the memories that will stay with you forever (and on your Insta feed, too).

Q&A: Most frequently asked questions about extreme attractions in the Emirates

1. Do you need any experience to skydive in Dubai?
No. The jump is done in tandem with a professional instructor. All you need is courage and a valid passport.

2. What to wear for a desert buggy?
Closed shoes, comfortable clothes, preferably light ones. There will be sand everywhere – prepare mentally.

3. Is the zipline in Ras Al Khaimah safe?
Yes, it’s a certified attraction with international standards. But it will still make your heart jump.

4. Can you take your phone on the Jetcar?
You can, but only in a waterproof case. It’s better to ask the staff to take pictures – they have experience.

5. When is the best time to go to Jebel Jais?
Morning or late afternoon. The temperature is higher in summer, but it is still cooler at the top than in Dubai.
