XLine Dubai Marina zipline

The XLine is an urban zipline strung above the Marina district, one of the densest skylines in the city. The descent covers about a kilometre face down, arms forward, and reaches close to eighty kilometres an hour.

Glass towers, moored yachts and the canals below rush past, a perspective no observation deck can give. After the compulsory weigh-in and the briefing on position and breathing, the technical team checks harness, helmet and suit. The run lasts under two minutes, with a controlled braking system at the end. Photos and video of the descent are included and sent afterwards.

The adventure starts on the 44th floor of a building in Jumeirah Beach Residence, with an impressive view over Dubai Marina before you launch. You can go alone or alongside your companion, on two parallel cables that let you ride at the same time.

Once underway, take in an exceptional panorama over the towers and the Marina before reaching the landing point.
