Have you ever imagined driving a luxury sports car across open water? With Fun Beach Water Sports, you can. The Jet Car Dubai experience is one of the most unique water activities available in the UAE — a one-of-a-kind watercraft that looks, steers, and feels like a high-performance sports car, but rides across the waves of the Arabian Gulf.
Launching from Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), your jet car ride takes you alongside two of the world’s most iconic landmarks — the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis Hotel at Palm Jumeirah — for a truly cinematic water adventure. At just AED 549 for 20 minutes, it’s the most Instagram-worthy thing you’ll do in Dubai.
What is the Jet Car Dubai experience?
The jet car is unlike anything else on the water. Designed to resemble a real sports car — complete with a steering wheel and driver’s seat — this watercraft gives you the thrill of controlling a high-speed vehicle while gliding across the sea. It’s not a jet ski, it’s not a speedboat. It’s something entirely its own.
Suitable for up to 2 people, the jet car is the perfect activity for couples looking for something different, families wanting a shared adventure, or solo thrill-seekers after an adrenaline rush. No prior experience is required. Our expert instructors walk you through everything before you set off.

Why choose the jet car ride in Dubai at Fun Beach?
A truly unique experience
The jet car is not something you’ll find at every beach. It’s a rare, headline-grabbing water activity that stands apart from everything else in the UAE.
Drive, don’t just ride
Unlike a speedboat where someone else is in control, the jet car puts you in the driver’s seat. You steer, you accelerate, you own the experience.
Iconic backdrop
Your ride takes place with the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis Hotel in full view. Every moment is a photo opportunity.
Safe for everyone
Our certified instructors provide a full safety briefing before every session. The jet car is easy to control and designed for all experience levels.
Perfect for two
Bring a friend, your partner, or a family member. The jet car accommodates up to 2 people so you can share the moment.

What to expect on your Jet Car Dubai adventure
From the moment you arrive at Fun Beach Water Sports at JBR, you’ll know you’re in for something special. Our team will meet you at the beach, run you through a quick safety briefing, and get you fitted with your life jacket. The whole pre-ride process is smooth, relaxed, and beginner-friendly.
Then you’ll take your seat in the jet car — and the moment you feel the steering wheel in your hands and the engine beneath you, you’ll understand why this is one of Dubai’s most talked-about water activities.
As you pull away from JBR, the Arabian Gulf opens up in front of you. The Burj Al Arab rises to one side; the horizon of Palm Jumeirah stretches ahead. You’ll cruise past Dubai’s most photographed landmarks at speed, with the wind in your face and the sea beneath you. It’s 20 minutes that feel like a scene from a film.
Frequently Asked Questions
