Dubai Jet Ski to Burj Al Arab — Jumeirah Harbour
An hour on the Gulf from the Jumeirah fishing harbour, with the Burj Al Arab ahead and the Burj Khalifa on the horizon behind you.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 1h · up to 2 guests · AED 499 per jet ski · EN
What is this tour like?
The harbour at Jumeirah 1 sits closer to Downtown than the Marina does, so you leave the dock with the Burj Khalifa already in view behind the coastline. The hour route runs south along the beaches to the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, where the boat slows for photographs before turning back.
Every session starts with a safety briefing and a life jacket, and the clock on your ride starts only once you are on the water. One jet ski carries a driver and a passenger at the same price, and the instructor stays with the group throughout. Drivers need to be 16 or over with photo ID; no jet ski licence is required in the UAE.

- Launch from Jumeirah Fishing Harbour, minutes from Downtown
- Certified instructor rides with the group the whole hour
