Ready, set, go! Dubai's adventure masters XDubai have upped the ante with XLine – the world's longest urban zipline.

Located in Dubai Marina, it is one of the steepest and fastest ziplines around the globe, measuring 1km in length, up to 170m in height and with an average speed of 80km/h. Hold on tight as you zip across and enjoy a bird’s-eye vantage point of the glitzy Dubai neighbourhood below, complete with five-star yachts and sleek high-rise towers.

What to expect at XLine

Unlike a traditional zipline, XLine uses ‘superman’ harnesses, allowing participants to lie belly-down and maximise on a thrilling flight-like experience as well as the panoramic views. There are two concurrently running ziplines, which means you can share the experience with a friend or loved one.

Thanks to the GoPro cameras mounted on your helmet, you can also relive and share the action; every participant will receive a customised video and photograph of their ride.

All set to take off with XLine? One ticket per person is AED699 ("Going Solo") and for those under 16 years of age AED499. Please note that prices are subject to change. Check out the official website for all the pricing details.

Opening hours and timings

Plan your visit between Wednesdays to Mondays; the zipline is closed on Tuesday. Set aside approximately 90 minutes for the experience, from the time of checking in at the XLine booth in Dubai Marina Mall until the ride is completed. Bookings are available between 10am-5pm.

Nearby restaurants

The entrance to XLine Dubai is located in Dubai Marina Mall, so the mall's food court through to its restaurants and cafes - like Carluccio's and tasha's - are great spots to unwind after the adrenalin rush of the zipline. Pier 7, the waterfront destination with seven levels of tantalising restaurants, is right next door offering cuisines ranging from European fare, Middle Eastern favourites, Pan-Asian food and much more. Another option is waterside brasserie Bistro Des Arts, or if you fancy a short walk, head over to InterContinental Dubai Marina to try out Italian concept Papas Dubai.
