Dubai Destinations: 7 sky-high ways to enjoy the Dubai winter break

Dubai’s winter tourism campaign Dubai destinations was launched this week and this is the best season to explore everything the emirate has to offer. Land, sea and sky is the theme of the campaign, and today we have compiled the most scenic sky-high ways to enjoy Dubai.

Eye from the sky: Really want a bird’s-eye view of the city? Take a ride on a hot air balloon for an unforgettable adventure. Amazing sights start to appear on every trip including faraway mountains, Bedouin villages, camels and dunes.

Fly like a falcon: Skydive Dubai caters to anyone craving an adrenaline rush and welcomes skydiving enthusiasts to enjoy the spectacular views while flying high over the Palm Jumeirah. If you are skydiving for the first time, you can jump in tandem with a professional coach to enjoy a safe experience.

Ready for a zipline? Try the longest urban zipline in the world – the XLine – which is located in Dubai Marina Mall. The XLine is one of the steepest and fastest ziplines around the globe, and has multiple lines, which means that family and friends can delight in the fantastic views together.

From the highest tower: Look down on the beautiful city from the tallest tower in the world. Getting to the giddying heights of the Burj Khalifa is a must-do for tourists landing in Dubai and for good reason. This is the safer option if you don’t want to be throwing yourself off planes or zipping through the sky, but with just as iconic of a Dubai experience.

Slide on glass from the 53rd floor: From young children to grandparents, everyone can safely try this exhilarating slide through a glass tunnel connecting two floors of the Address Sky View hotel. Connecting the 53rd and 52nd floors, you are surrounded by glass, so it’s almost like you’re zipping through the sky.

The Flying Cup is a great place to try: When we think about Dubai, we frequently think of one-of-a-kind luxury experiences that are not available anywhere else. The Flying Cup is such a memorable experience. You'll be lifted several meters into the air for a spectacular perspective over Dubai Marina. You're stranded in a sort of bar where chefs create a snack or perhaps a full meal for you.

Flying over Dubai: Many of Dubai's attractions are best viewed from above, so why not take a private flight over Dubai’s iconic sites? SkyDubai has a gyrocopter option for those who would love the sights with a thrilling ride.
