XLine Dubai Marina

Most people head to the marina to enjoy a bite to eat by the waterside, or enjoy a short pleasure cruise around The Palm.
And now, Dubai Marina will be attracting a whole new breed of clientele as the world’s longest urban zipline opens up for thrill seekers.

Set in Dubai Marina, the new XLine by XDubai is not only the world’s longest urban zip line, but also one of the steepest and fastest, measuring one kilometre, with an incline of 16° and travelling at speeds of up to 80 kilometres an hour as they zip from one of the Amwaj towers in JBR, through skyscrapers and across water, landing outside Dubai Marina Mall. The XLine follows in the footsteps of the popular original which launched in late 2015 at The Dubai Mall over the iconic Dubai Fountain. Building on the first one, the new XLine is double in length and offers daring duos the chance to enjoy the experience together, on two concurrently running ziplines. Moreover, the 'superman-style' harness lets zipliners channel their inner superhero.

Organizers has revealed that adrenaline enthusiasts can zip from one of the Amwaj towers in JBR, 170 metres in the air, weaving through skyscrapers and across the water, down to the terrace of Dubai Marina Mall. In addition, the new version will also be open to both visitors and residents of Dubai, but for a limited time with public bookings open now. All those experiencing the XLine will be able to share the experience to the world through a helmet mounted Go-Pro with photos and video delivered via email following the experience.

With two zip lines running concurrently, XLine can accommodate 16 people per hour. Individuals will be able to take the leap - or zip - with a friend, family member or colleague. Family and friends of those ziplining will have a great vantage point from the Marina Promenade next to Dubai Marina Mall.

Those wishing to experience the XLine must be aged 12 to 65 years old. Riders under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Zipliners must be a minimum height of 130cm, weigh 50-100kg, and be in a good medical condition.

You can ride the Dubai zipline solo or complete the tandem zipline with a friend or family member who’s up for seeing the city from above:
• XLine price for one person: AED 650
• Xline price for two people completing a tandem zipline: AED 1,200
