The United Arab Emirates packs an incredible amount into a small stretch of coastline — futuristic cities, world-class beaches, and some of the warmest, calmest waters in the region. If you are planning a trip and researching the best things to do in the UAE, the Arabian Gulf deserves a spot at the top of your list.
The most accessible and scenic way to experience the coast is from Dubai’s Umm Suqeim beach, right in front of the Burj Al Arab. From here, Fun Beach Water Sports offers the full range of rides suitable for everyone from first-time visitors to seasoned adventurers.
