The boat slips away from the marina and the city’s glass towers shrink into a mirror of steel and sun. Salt air presses against your face as the crew clips the harness, and the sea seems to dare you upward — a steady, controlled lift that trades the roar of the engine for a panoramic hush. From 150–300 feet above the water you can read Dubai’s coastline in a single sweep: beaches, breakwaters, and the curved silhouette of high-rise neighborhoods.
