Oman opens longest zipline over water: Here are the top 5 activities in UAE for thrill seekers

Oman has just inaugurated the world's longest zipline over water, however, thrill-seekers in the UAE do not have to travel so far for a rush of adrenaline.

Right here in the country, residents can step out and participate in adventure sports and other activities across the country to get in on the fun.

Take a look at some of the best adventure activities in town, and do try them out!

1. Skydiving

Ziplining over a stretch of water definitely does sound like fun, however, skydiving is practically unbeatable.

Almost nothing can parallel the euphoria of jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet in the sky.

2. Flyboarding

If water sports is your thing, try flyboarding! The latest (perhaps, even coolest) water sport has one flying over water.

The flyboard is attached to a jetski, thrusting water and lifting you upwards as soon as the machine turns on.

3. Edge Walk

Want to go bungee jumping but without the jump? Dubai has something to offer.

Try Edge Walk, an interesting, thrilling activity which brings risk-takers together. The heart-dropping activity allows guests to walk along the edge of the Tower at 219.5 metres above ground (or 52 floors).
