Private Tubing on Speedboat Dubai: Burj Al Arab backdrop

Take turns on the tube while your group watches from the boat

A 60-minute tubing activity in Dubai where groups of up to 8 board a speedboat, take turns riding the tube in pairs, and watch each other perform with the Burj Al Arab as the backdrop. Photos and videos of the session are included. A live guide speaks English, French, Arabic, Urdu and one additional language.

The Experience

You board the Nemo Boat with your group—up to 8 people total—and head out for tubing with the Burj Al Arab in the background. Two of you ride the tube at a time while the rest sit comfortably on the speedboat, watching the action and cheering from the deck. The boat has enough power to make it genuinely fun; the challenge becomes who can hold on the longest as the tube bounces across the water.

The whole session runs 60 minutes, so there is time for multiple rounds and for everyone to get a turn if the group wants it that way. While you are waiting your turn, you are not standing around—you have a front-row seat to watch your friends get pulled across the water, and you can film or photograph the moment. The guide is there the whole time and speaks English, French, Arabic, Urdu or one of the other languages on offer, so instructions and safety are clear before anyone gets on the tube.

You will need to bring an original Emirates ID or passport (physical document) to participate. The activity is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are available nearby if you need them. Bring a change of clothes or a towel, since you will get wet.
