You can experience the free-fall for about one minute before the instructor opens the parachute and you will spend around 5 minutes witnessing the beauty of Palm Jumeriah until you land. You can also skydive above the desert if you want.

4. Explore the dessert with Platinum Desert Safari.
One thing you must try while visiting Dubai is its Desert Safari. The tour would take you to exploring Dubais desert. The driver of Land Rover would pick you up in the afternoon and stop to let you taking pictures while enjoying sunset from the desert.
At night, the driver would take you to a great campsite to enjoy BBQ, Arabian coffee, Sisha, ride a camel, surf on the sand or paint your hands with henna. Belly dancers would performbefore you leave.
Local elebrity Mischa Chandrawinata has enjoyed those activities in Dubai and shared the moments on his Instagram.
