Give wings to your spirit

So you think there isn't enough to do in Dubai. Think again. There are a myriad sports and activities ranging from the weird to the wonderful, ones that get the adrenalin pumping, the heart racing and others that keep the mind calm and the chakras in tune. Each one has its own followers, hangout and events. Beginning today, every fortnight Joanna Longworth will be checking out a leisure/adventure sport. Stuck for something to do? Look no further...
