Go Sandboarding In The Desert 

One of the best outdoor winter activities in Dubai is sandboarding, and one of the prime spots for it is Al Badayer, also known as the Red Dune, situated on the Hatta Oman Road. Other locations in Dubai for sandboarding are Al Qudra and the Lahbab desert. Sandboarding is a family-friendly desert adventure that promises a safe and enjoyable experience. It's advisable to begin with the smaller, more gentle slopes before progressing to the larger dunes and advanced tricks. To ensure the best experience, it's best to go sandboarding with trusted companies.

Indulge In Watersports At Kite Beach 

Kite Beach is one of Dubai's most popular beaches, perfect for sun-worshippers, food enthusiasts, and sports enthusiasts alike.
