Jet Ski Rental Umm Suqeim Where It Starts

Your ride begins at the Fishing Harbour in Umm Suqeim 2, a working harbour off Jumeirah Street. The Burj Al Arab is the first landmark most riders head for.

This stretch of coast is an officially permitted riding zone. A guidelines flyer reported by Gulf News lists three approved areas: Dubai Marina, Umm Suqeim 1 and 2, and Jumeirah 2 and 3. Jet skis can only operate in designated maritime areas, which keeps them separate from swimmers and hotel beaches.

The Burj Al Arab Jet Ski Ride

Most riders come for one view: the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab on its own island, with the Jumeirah coastline beside you and the skyline behind.

• Photos: Photography is free, so you can keep both hands on the handlebars and still get the view with the Burj Al Arab behind you.
• Longer sessions: Longer packages leave time to continue toward Atlantis The Palm and other coastal landmarks. Our wider Dubai jet ski route guide covers the Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis routes in more detail.
• Route: Confirm the exact route for your duration when you book.

What to Expect Step by Step

1. Meet the team at the Fishing Harbour at your booked time.
2. A short safety briefing covers how to ride and the rules on the water.
3. You’re fitted with a life jacket, which stays on for the whole ride.
4. Head out toward the Burj Al Arab. Photography is included.
5. Return to the harbour.

Choose Your Jet Ski

All three models carry up to 2 riders and run on a 1049cc Yamaha TR-1 High Output engine. See the full Yamaha jet ski fleet before you book.

Short version: choose the Premium VX Cruiser if it’s your first time, the Sound System model if you want music, and the JetBlaster if you want a livelier ride. Ask which models come with a guide on your package.
