While the UAE may be known for its luxury, retail, and burgeoning art scene, Abu Dhabi is an exciting destination if you’re looking for more of a thrill. If you’re heading to the city this summer, here are a few adventure-based activities you need to check out.
High Speed Coasters at Ferrari World
Slicing through the wind at 240km/h, Abu Dhabi’s Ferrari World is home to the world’s fastest rollercoaster – Formula Rossa. For adrenaline junkies with a need for speed, this ride offers the ultimate thrill, alongside exciting experiences like F1 Pit Crew training and state-of-the-art racing simulators.
Dune Bashing in the Arabian Desert
No trip to Abu Dhabi is complete without experiencing its desert. Just outside city limits, conquer a sea of dunes on a 4×4 adventure, pairing the experience with camel rides, bedouin-style camping, and stargazing once night falls.
Mountain Biking on Sir Bani Yas Island
Looking to escape the city? Home to the best wildlife conservation in Abu Dhabi, luxury hotels, and fascinating archaeological sites, Sir Bani Yas Island offers visitors the chance to blend adventure and sightseeing with mountain biking excursions.
Navigate rugged wadis, a savannah, and golden beaches, as well as a protected wildlife reserve, with equipment provided by Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort.
Surfing at Surf Abu Dhabi
You don’t need the ocean to catch the waves. At Surf Abu Dhabi, enjoy a range of programmes for every level, from beginner-friendly lessons to larger, more intense waves.
