The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm weight and ID ahead of time

The operator requires weight (45–100 kg) and ID—have measurements ready to avoid delays at check-in.

Wear secure, closed-toe footwear

Shoes with straps or laces prevent losing footwear during the run and make harnessing easier.

Schedule outside peak heat

Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid Dubai’s intense midday sun, especially in summer.

Buy the media package if you want shots

On-site cameras capture the run; phones are not permitted during the zipline, so buy the package to keep footage.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the Marina Promenade before the run for different vantage points of the launch tower
  • Head to Pier 7’s rooftop restaurants after your ride for elevated views without the rush

Wildlife

  • Seagulls that cruise the marina
  • Occasional cormorants and migratory shorebirds along the canal

Conservation Note

This urban coast supports birdlife and marine traffic—avoid littering, respect signage near the water, and use designated viewing areas to minimize disturbance.

Dubai Marina is a planned waterfront development completed in the 2000s by Nakheel; the canal and towers are part of modern coastal engineering rather than historic shoreline.

What to Bring

Closed-toe athletic shoesEssential

Keeps feet secure in the harness and prevents losing footwear during the run.

Sunglasses with strap

Reduces glare at speed; strap prevents them from falling off mid-flight.

Light windbreaker

Evening sea breeze can be chilly at height—bring a thin layer for comfort.

Photo/package payment

Bring a card or phone payment to purchase the professional media package if desired.

Common Questions

What are the age and weight limits?

Riders must be at least 12 years old and weigh between 45–100 kg; exact limits are confirmed at booking and check-in.

Is the activity safe for people afraid of heights?

The zipline is exposed and fast; guides secure you with professional harnesses, but if severe acrophobia is an issue, this may be uncomfortable.

Can I bring a phone or camera on the zipline?

Personal devices are not permitted during the run; buy the operator’s media package to receive photos and video.

What happens in bad weather?

The operator may postpone for safety in high winds or storms; check cancellation terms—full refund available if canceled at least 24 hours before.
