We're diving into the XLine Dubai Marina, also known as the Dubai zipline, where you get to zip line through the skyline like a superhero. If you've fantasized about flying (literally, yes), this is it.

Whether you’re an adventure junkie or just looking for something exciting to break up the beach days and shopping, the zipline Dubai Marina should be right at the top of your Dubai bucket list.

What Is the XLine Dubai Marina?

The XLine is no ordinary backyard zip experience. This is the zipline Dubai Marina is famous for — one of the longest urban ziplines in the world, and quite possibly one of the coolest. The Marina Zipline runs from the Amwaj Towers, the tallest, to the Dubai Marina Mall, sleek and modern, for a full one-kilometer over the glittering skyline.

What to Expect from the Zipline Dubai

Getting Geared Up

When you arrive at the Zipline Dubai Marina base, the crew prepares you. You'll sign a brief waiver, get a safety briefing, and be fitted with your harness and helmet. They'll walk you through it all, so don't panic — even if you're an absolute zipline beginner.

Climbing to the Top

Next, you head to the launch platform at Amwaj Towers. At 170 meters high, the view from up there is already stunning. Breathe deeply — this is where the adrenaline starts to set in!

Time to Fly

As you leave the platform, you'll be flying in a "Superman" position above the city. You'll zip past gleaming towers, soar over water, and get a glimpse of the Zipline Dubai track that's nothing short of spectacular.

Smooth Landing

You’ll land safely at Dubai Marina Mall, thanks to a super-smooth braking system. The whole ride lasts under a minute — but trust us, it’s a minute you’ll never forget.
