What’s the experience like?

Salt in the air, a bit of engine rumble under you, and the Burj Al Arab glinting in the sun—there’s nothing quite like seeing Dubai from a jet car on the water. Our guide, Ahmed, handed us the controls after a quick safety chat (he’s got stories about every landmark, by the way). The first splash of sea spray hit my face as we pulled away from the marina, and honestly, I grinned like a kid. It’s not every day you get to zip past seven-star hotels in a car that floats.

We cruised along the curve of Palm Jumeirah, the breeze picking up just enough to cool things down. You’ll spot little fishing boats bobbing nearby—locals wave if you catch their eye. At Atlantis, we paused for photos; the pink arches look even bigger from water level. There’s a faint smell of salt and sunscreen in the air, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hear seagulls squabbling overhead. The Royal Atlantis is just a bit further on—its glass towers shimmer in the heat haze. Time flies out here; it’s easy to forget you’re still in Dubai and not somewhere out on open sea.
