Water Attractions For Dubai Tourists

Dubai is well-known around the world for its abundance of sun, sand and shopping. But when you’ve loaded up your travel suitcase with bargains from the souks and designer labels from the shopping malls, it’s time to combine sun and sand and hit the seas of t he Arabian Gulf for some action of a different kind.

WAKEBOARDING You have to be prepared for this kind of test as wakeboarding will test your physical strength good and proper, so don’t spend your time slap on the sunscreen and stretch those muscles. With your feet in a couple of chunky boots firmly secured to a set of bindings attached to a board, it appears much more like you’re about to hit the snow than the deep azure sea.

Nevertheless, this is no powdery experience. For novices, some trainers recommend a few water skiing lessons to understand the technique, but say they can have you standing and riding the wake in less than 5 lessons. Superhuman power is not required although classes generally last just 15 minutes as they’re so demanding on the muscles. Classes are also a good way to burn off those extra kgs from the buffet dinner the night before.

SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS Actress Mischa Barton swam with dolphins when she was in Dubai previous year and currently you can do it too. In a town, where almost everything looks feasible, it should come as no surprise that there is more than one facility where vacationers can interact with these beautiful animals. Both facilities offer you a variety of various activities, varying from merely watching the animals at play to being capable to swim with them and learn more about them at educational centres. If you want to touch, play ball and give food to dolphins you should visit Dolphin Bay at Atlantis, The Palm. There you can have 90-minute program including actively playing and feeding as well as 30-minutes swimming with dolphines.

Dubai Dolphinarium presents a ‘dolphin swim’ programme, which involves 15 minutes in the water. And do not forget about your camera, ensure you can memorize this memorable experience.
