Jet Ski Dubai An exhilarating tour of Dubai’s Waters

Dubai is a city in the UAE located off the Persian Gulf. The city has become a leading tourist destination with its offer of numerous tourist attractions. Dubai’s Indian Ocean coastline provides abundant water sport activities that you can enjoy during your vacation to the city. One water sport that you should definitely try is Jet Ski Dubai.

Jet Ski Dubai is a high adventure water sport that will let you enjoy your Dubai trip to the fullest. The turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf will provide the best playground and you will also get to marvel at the best sights in new Dubai.

What is a Jet Ski?

A Jet Ski is a personal watercraft used for recreation purposes. A jet ski is powered by a high powered jet of water behind it which pushes it forward.

Water is sucked in the watercraft through a large intake and exits through a small nozzle in the back. The power of the water jet thus provides the propelling force of the Jet Ski.

How to ride a Jet Ski

Below are helpful Jet Skiing instructions to maneuver the water craft for first time Jet skiers;

●        Drive straight

A jet ski is steered by turning the handlebars in the direction that you wish to go. Try to keep the water craft straight by looking out into the distance.

●        Always keep throttle on

Always keep your finger on the throttle since you will lose steering control of the water craft if you take your finger off and it’ll also make the Jet Ski stop or slow down.

●        Boarding the Jet Ski

Always board the Jet Ski from the back and not from the side since this will cause it to topple over. You can achieve this by grabbing the handle behind the seat and pulling yourself out of the water onto the back deck of the Jet Ski.

●        Relax your grip

Gripping too tightly on the handle bars will make your hands sore. To avoid this, relax your grip, lean forward and keep your elbows slightly bent. This will allow you to ride comfortably without getting tired.

●        Do not stand

Standing makes it difficult to control the Jet Ski and increases your chances of falling into the water. Remain seated on the water craft for a more comfortable ride.

One fun tour that you should definitely try is the Camel Ride Dubai tour.

Arabia Horizons Tours offers a desert camel safari for Dubai visitors to experience the magic of travelling through the desert on a camel.

What is a Camel?

A camel is an ungulate animal with even toes that bears characteristic fatty deposits on its back known as a hump.

A camel is a domesticated working animal used to provide milk, meat and textile fibres. A camel is also adopted to survival in desert habitats since it can withstand long periods without food and water. It is therefore used for transport purposes as well.

Camels in Dubai and the UAE

Camels are the center of life for the UAE and are seen as a symbol of Emirati culture and heritage. The camel was domesticated over 2000 years ago by Yemeni tribesmen and was later adapted by the Bedouins of the UAE.

The use of camels for transport purposes became obsolete by the start of the twentieth century after the start of Industrialization. Camels however remain relevant in the local Emirati culture and are used for the following purposes;

●        As a source for food

Camels are part of Emirati cuisine and are used to provide meat and milk for the Bedouins. Camel meat is a popular delicacy in the UAE while camel milk is used to make chocolates and biscuits.

●        As a mode of transport

Camels were used to transport passengers and supplies in the olden days. They are now used to provide camel ride tours for Dubai visitors to experience the early life of the Emiratis.

●        As a form of entertainment

Camels have been used to entertain the Bedouin tribes through races. Camel racing is still popular in the UAE and the country currently has 15 camel racing tracks with state of the art facilities. The races are also used to celebrate local Emirati traditions such as Shellah.

●        As a type of currency or status symbol

Camels serve as a status symbol by demonstrating wealth of individuals who own the most number of camels. They are also used as a currency to pay bride price or the annual charity fee known as Zakat.

●        Camels provide wool for fabric

The Bedouins use camel wool to create essential items such as clothes, rugs and tents.

Camel Transport in the UAE

Camels were used as a means of transport for the Bedouins in the olden days. Travelers used to form groups known as ‘caravan’ that would travel together for the purpose of mutual protection during the journey. The size of the caravan depended on the level of insecurity on the travel route as well as camel availability.

With the Camel Ride Dubai tour, you will get the chance to go back in time and have a glimpse of Emirati life in the olden days.
