The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm weight and age limits

Operators typically require riders to be between about 50–98 kg and aged 12–65; check your booking details before arriving.

Arrive early for briefing

Plan to be at check-in 20–30 minutes before your slot for paperwork, harness fitting, and safety briefings.

Secure loose items

Remove or tightly secure phones, hats and jewelry; the operator provides mounting for official cameras and records your run.

Spectator viewing spot

Friends and family should watch from Marina Promenade or Dubai Marina Mall for clear sightlines and safe vantage points.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Pier 7 rooftop restaurants for layered marina views
  • The quieter north promenade near Amwaj Towers for less crowded photo angles

Wildlife

  • Gulls commonly glide above the water
  • Occasional shorebirds like herons along the marina edges

Conservation Note

Coastal development affects local marine and shore habitats—carry out waste, avoid feeding wildlife, and follow operator guidance to minimize impacts.

Dubai Marina is a large-scale, man-made canal city developed in the early 2000s as part of Dubai’s waterfront expansion and tourism growth.
