Jet Ski Dubai: Burj Al Arab Coastal Ride with Iconic Skyline Views
Launch from Jumeirah and roar across the Persian Gulf with the Burj Al Arab dominating the skyline. This one-hour jet ski ride delivers close-up coastal views, marine breeze, and a hands-on way to feel Dubai’s shoreline energy.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for briefing
Operators run a mandatory safety briefing and gear check—arriving 20–30 minutes early ensures a timely start.
Wear eye protection with a retainer
Wind and spray make sunglasses necessary; a retainer prevents loss when hitting chop.
Expect choppy water
Short, wind-driven chop nearshore requires steady stance and modest speed if you’re inexperienced.
Secure valuables
Use a waterproof phone case or leave valuables onshore—operators may not be able to retrieve lost items.

Conservation Note
Operators should follow no-wake zones and avoid sensitive shallow shoals—keep litter and fuel spills off the water to protect local marine life.
Dubai’s modern coastline expanded rapidly from the 1970s onward; landmarks like the Burj Al Arab opened in 1999 and reshaped the city’s maritime identity.
