An idea for an activity in Dubai: deep-sea fishing
For those who dream of the exotic, for those who want to get off the beaten track, why not head to Dubai? And instead of shutting yourself away in one of those huge shopping malls or one of the countless towers with their assertive gigantism, why not take to the open seas and go deep-sea fishing? Indeed, Dubai has a long tradition of merchant traders, hunter divers and fishermen: this tradition still exists, and you’re about to get a taste of it!
Here’s an exciting activity for the whole family, on the warm waters of the Persian Gulf, a captivating adventure of trying to catch fast, agile, energetic fish.
From the Marina Yacht Club, you’ll board a small fishing boat: as you head out to sea, you’ll be able to soak up the United Arab Emirates sunshine, soak up the warmth and enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole city while sipping a few drinks. On your way to the open sea, you’ll pass by the inevitable and immense « The World » islands, as well as the Burj Al Arab hotel, the artificial Palm Jumeirah archipelago in the shape of a palm tree, and the Atlantis complex.

A unique show
Once you’re there, the show will be all around you: the captain will give you a few safety tips and instructions that will make you an outstanding angler: equipped like a professional with sonar and ultrasonic detectors, catching fish will become a real pleasure. Tuna, groupers, jumpers, trevally, cobia and the dreaded barracuda are all yours!
The best time for deep-sea fishing is between October and April: Dubai really is a first-class fishing destination. Dubai is not just a city for quad-biking in the desert or visiting its breathtaking monuments, it’s also a fascinating place on and under the water.
