Fishing in Dubai
In the past, Dubai was a small fishing village and the history of fishing in this city goes back a long way. Fishing here is popular among locals and tourists, providing an opportunity to diversify your holiday in this resort town. Under the Arabian sun, against the backdrop of the calm waves of the Persian Gulf, you can enjoy moments of peace and solitude with this activity. In addition, fishing in Dubai creates the opportunity to interact with the local population. One of the great things about fishing in Dubai is that you don’t have to go to the open sea to do it. Most tours take place in the Arabian Gulf, where you can catch a variety of fish, including some real trophies.
Popular fishing spots in Dubai include:
Al Garhoud Bridge
Al Maktoum Bridge
Dubai Creek
Jumeirah
Umm Suqeim
Fish species that can be caught in Dubai include sailfish, tuna, mackerel, cobia, mahi-mahi, trevally, mullet, as well as sharks and other exotic species.
The most popular fishing techniques include:
Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water at a consistent, low speed.
Bottom fishing, also called legering in the United Kingdom, is fishing of the bottom (demersal zone) of a deep body of water such as lake or ocean, targeting groundfish such as sucker fish, bream, catfish and crappie. It is contrasted with conventional angling in that no float is used with the fishing line.
Other methods such as casting, jigging and kayak fishing are also available. Fishing in Dubai is possible all year round, but the best time for this is considered to be from late winter to early summer. Fishing requires a special license, which can be purchased through the hotel, diving center or by booking a guided tour. Comfortable fishing on modern yachts in Dubai is available to a wide range of people, including friends, families with children and experienced fishermen.
