Five Luxe
The heart of JBR nightlife. Perfect for travelers wanting a high-energy beach club vibe.
Gyrocopter Introductory Flight
A unique way to see the Palm. You can even take the controls with the instructor!
Dubai: Helicopter Ride, Desert Safari, Camels & Refreshments
A combo deal that covers iconic experiences. Great for first-time Dubai visitors.
The cheap AED 99 safaris use old Land Cruisers and crowded camps. Spend AED 350+ for a 'VIP' or 'Premium' safari — you get a newer vehicle, smaller group (6 vs 25 people), and actual stargazing away from camp lights. The price difference is worth every dirham.
Dubai: Cabriolet Tour in a convertible Mustang or Camaro
Choose the sunset tour for golden-hour photos. The Mustang is the crowd favorite.
Dubai: 2-Hour Private Yacht Cruise around Burj Al-Arab
Book the sunset slot (5-7 PM) for stunning photos of the Burj Al Arab lit up at dusk.
Dubai: Extreme Can-Am Buggy Desert Safari Adventure
More thrilling than a standard safari. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty.

2-Hour Romantic Sunset Cruise with Sushi and Drinks
Perfect for special occasions. Let them know in advance for complimentary decoration.
Dubai: Private Coastline Landmarks Mini-Yacht Tour
An affordable way to get on the water. BYOB is allowed on most private charters.
Dubai: Dinner in the Sky Experience
You'll be suspended 50m in the air! Not for the faint-hearted, but the views are unmatched.
Dubai: Marina Ziplining with Photos and Video
The longest urban zipline in the world at 1km. Go at dusk for twinkling city lights.
Dubai: Skydive Experience at The Palm with Photos & Video
Book the first slot of the day for clearer skies and shorter wait times.
Palm Jumeirah: 1.5-Hour Guided Jet Ski Tour
The tour circles the entire Palm. Mornings have calmer waters for smoother riding.
Don't pay for The View observation deck (AED 100+). Instead, go to The Penthouse rooftop bar at FIVE Palm — free entry, better sunset views, and you're already at a top-rated venue. Just buy one drink.
Dubai: Private Self-Drive SeaKart Jet Ski Boat Tour
A unique hybrid vehicle – part jet ski, part boat. Perfect for thrill-seekers.
Dubai: Luxury Balloon Flight with Michelin-Curated Breakfast
Flights depart at sunrise. Wear layers – it's chilly at altitude but warm on landing.
Dubai: Atlantis Aquaventure World Pass and Dolphin Encounter
Arrive when the park opens to beat the crowds. The Leap of Faith slide is a must.
Aquaventure day passes are 30% cheaper if you book after 2 PM (afternoon entry). Most tourists leave by 4 PM anyway, so you get shorter lines for the big slides like Leap of Faith. Bring water shoes — the sand gets scorching.
