Full description
Up on a parasail above the Gulf with the Burj Al Arab beside you, which is the angle on that building nobody gets from land.
The flight itself is calm rather than frightening. You are winched up gradually from the boat deck and winched back down onto it, so there is no running start and no landing in the water unless you ask for a dip ā which the crew will do on request and most people end up wanting.
Solo or tandem, and tandem is the normal choice for anyone nervous or for a couple who would rather do it together. There is no skill involved; you sit in a harness and look.
Photos and videos are taken by the crew and included, which matters because there is no way to take them yourself up there.
Drinking water, lockers and a changing room with an open shower are provided.
ā ļø Entirely weather-dependent ā wind that feels fine on the beach can stop flying, and the crew will move you rather than send you up in the wrong conditions. And sunglasses go over the side every week; use a strap or leave them onshore.
