Perfect for a photo opportunity or two!
Thrilling Watersports
Young and old alike will get a taste of the excitement of a marine lifestyle at the Dubai International Boat Show. Enjoy a thrilling array of water sports and water-related activities, including demos of jet skis, fly boards, kite surfing and more.. At the family-friendly Lagoon, there’s the chance to try kayaking and SUP in a safe environment. If you are more interested in what goes on under the water, or if you fancy something different, take your little ones to watch the divers (and a couple of mermaids) in our state-of-the-art dive pool.
Spot Some Supercars
There will be no shortage of things to see. Some of the world’s rarest and most expensive supercars will be showcased to the public at Dubai International Boat Show, thanks to UAE car club Group 63..
Time For A Meal
When the time comes to take a break or grab a bite to eat, head to Nikki Beach. During the day, you can soak up the sun and enjoy the pleasant weather while taking a relaxing break on the beach. When evening approaches, you can sit back and marvel at the stunning beauty of the Dubai Harbour at dusk and the dozens of ships and yachts passing by on their way to unknown adventures.
For casual dining options, F&B area Eatstagram has exciting options including homegrown burger joint Pickl, and, for a sweet treat, the colourful House of Pops.
