What water sports can you try on a yacht in Dubai?

Beyond Dubai's urban skyscrapers, stunning natural landscapes await. The desert is the heart of the emirate. I embarked on a desert safari and was captivated by the endless dunes, changing color in the setting sun. At night, the star-studded sky creates a sense of infinity. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique place where you can observe pink flamingos and other migratory birds in their natural habitat. Mountain enthusiasts can venture to the neighboring emirate of Hatta, home to Hatta Dam and Hatta Rock Pools – ideal spots for hiking, kayaking, and picnicking. I enjoyed the tranquility and coolness of the mountain air, a welcome contrast to the city's hustle and bustle.

Ski Dubai is a real winter resort in the heart of the desert, located inside the Mall of the Emirates. Imagine this: the scorching sun and 40°C outside, and you're standing at the top of a snowy slope, ready to ski or snowboard down. I couldn't miss the opportunity to experience this marvel of engineering. The complex maintains a constant temperature of around -4°C. I rented all the necessary equipment and went to explore five different slopes, including the longest one at 400 meters. It was a special treat to interact with real penguins in a specially equipped area. After skiing, I warmed up with hot chocolate in an alpine cafe, watching other skiers through panoramic windows.

In Dubai's hot climate, water parks become a real lifesaver. Aquaventure Waterpark, located at Atlantis The Palm hotel, is one of the largest in the world. I tested my courage there on the "Leap of Faith" slide, where you are practically thrown vertically down through a transparent tube, passing through a shark pool. Wild Wadi Waterpark, located next to Burj Al Arab, offers themed attractions based on Arabian tales. I especially enjoyed "Jumeirah Sceirah" - a 33-meter high slide where you rush at speeds up to 80 km/h. For families with young children, Laguna Waterpark in La Mer offers more relaxed entertainment, including a lazy river and beach areas.

Yes, when renting a yacht in Dubai, you can usually order food and drinks on board. Yacht rental companies usually provide several options: • Catering: Many companies cooperate with catering services and offer a wide range of dishes and drinks from pre-prepared menus. You can choose the appropriate option depending on your preferences and budget. • Menu to choose from: Some companies have their own menus from which you can order food and drinks. • Ability to bring your own food: In some cases, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks on board. However, it is worth clarifying this point with the lessor company in advance, as there may be certain restrictions or fees. It is recommended to clarify the terms of ordering food and drinks from a specific company when booking a yacht in order to avoid misunderstandings and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
