The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Check-in

You must present ID and your ticket and arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled fly time; pickups leave 45–60 minutes prior.

Respect Weight & Height Limits

Strict 50–100 kg and taller than 130 cm limits mean you’ll be weighed and measured to ensure correct harness pairing.

Wear Closed, Secure Footwear

Closed shoes are mandatory—no flip flops or loose footwear; tie long hair back and remove jewelry to avoid equipment issues.

Hydrate & Dress for Heat

Dubai heat and reflections from glass can amplify temperatures—light, breathable clothing and water beforehand help you stay comfortable.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the lower promenade at dusk for framed marina reflections and quieter photo angles.
  • Visit Pier 7’s quieter mid-level restaurants for elevated views without the crowds on the roof.

Wildlife

  • Gulls and terns hovering over the water
  • Occasional dolphins spotted near the marina entrance

Conservation Note

Keep to marked areas, dispose of waste properly, and avoid feeding birds or disturbing marine life—urban waterways are sensitive to litter and runoff.

Dubai Marina is a relatively new, reclaimed canal city developed in the 2000s as part of Dubai’s urban expansion; XLine leverages the high-rises and waterfront layout to create an urban aerial route.
