Launch above the Arabian Gulf on a jet-powered board at La Mer or Palm — a 30-minute flyboarding session that teaches you to hover, turn and control elevation with an instructor at your side.

Salt spray and jet thrust announce the start before you even feel the lift. Standing on the board with a jet-ski tether humming behind you, the Arabian Gulf dares you upward — a flat, glassy plane one moment, a rush of altitude the next as water guns the board and you rise.

Arrive early for briefing
Plan 30–45 minutes before your booked start time for check-in, safety briefings and gearing up.
Wear proper swimwear
Bring snug swimwear and a quick-dry change; loose clothing can interfere with the flyboard harness.
Mind the medical restrictions
If you have back, heart problems, or are pregnant, do not participate — operators enforce strict health rules.
Book morning sessions
Early morning offers calmer seas and cooler temperatures which help stability and comfort on the board.
Swimwear
Form-fitting swimwear prevents chafing and avoids loose fabric that can tangle with the harness.

Reef or water shoes
Protects feet on rocky entry points and improves traction when boarding the jet ski platform.
summer
Light towel and change of clothes
You’ll want a dry layer after the session and something breathable for the transfer back to shore.
Reef-safe sunscreen
High SPF protects from strong Gulf sun and reduces environmental impact on coastal waters.
