Go on a Dune Bashing Trip
Considered by locals and tourists to be one of the most thrilling activities in Dubai, dune bashing needs a certain skill level.
You will need a powerful 4WD vehicle to even try this out. Renting out a Range Rover, a Nissan Patrol, a Mercedes G Wagon, or any other specialized off-roading vehicle is the way to go. Head to the big and wide desert around the city and find yourself the tallest dunes to conquer.
Be aware that even the most powerful vehicles and the most skilled drivers have a hard time bashing the very tall dunes. These are towering mountain-sized dunes that will get your adrenaline high. Calculate the climb and start by practicing on not-so-high ones before you head to the really big ones.
See the World From the Top, Literally
Dubai has the tallest manmade building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. At this point, it doesn’t need any introduction. Also, it has the world’s highest outdoor observation deck up at the 124th and 125th floors. It is no less than a whopping 452 m high.
Book yourself and the family the ‘At the Top’ tickets. It will cost relatively high. But the experience is worth it. If you book the ticket for the sundown time, you will experience the most amazing sunset ever. Nothing is hindering the view in sight.
Also, you can go even higher with a more VIP costlier ticket. Additionally, the view of the city’s skyline and the desert from so much high is breathtaking.
Try the Thrilling Slides of the Aquaventure Waterpark
Another record that the city grabbed is the world’s biggest waterpark, the Aquaventure Waterpark Atlantis The Palm. It is a truly gigantic and amazing waterpark. Its towering slides are the true thrill-seeker’s dreamland. Also, kids have so much fun in the waterpark as well.

Sky Diving – It Is Not for the Faint-Hearted
If you are a real-time thrill-seeker, there is the perfect opportunity for you to Sky Diving. Skydive Dubai offers a great way to feel truly free. Their small-sized planes will take you 40,000 feet above sea level. From there, you will not have anything between yourself and the lands below.

Go Skiing at Ski Dubai in the Desert and Be Surprised
Yes, you read this right. There is a whole Winterland adventure to be enjoyed in the middle of the desert. And yes, nature hasn’t changed. Yet, somehow the unlimited wealth of Dubai has enabled them to have a full-sized ski center. Ski Dubai is where you want to head.

Summertime can get quite hot. Even seawater isn’t all that enjoyable in the summer. Hire a jet pack ride. Start by giving it small lifts. Only when you know how to handle the thing, fly high like a bird.
Underwater Diving, Snorkeling, or Swimming with the Sharks

Book Yourself a Buggy or Quadbike Desert Safari
No trip to Dubai is truly complete without a desert safari. Of course, a desert safari on a Range Rover, Nissan Patrol, or any other big SUV is available to provide comfort. However, if you want a thrilling ride, hire a buggy or a quadbike for your trip to the desert.
In the desert, you will have overnight camping opportunities at dedicated sites as well. If you hire a desert safari trip from a service provider, they will guide you to everything you need to know. Dubai is a great place. Go out there and explore the city and all that it has to offer.
