Visitors to Dubai now have an easier way to enjoy the emirate’s stunning waters thanks to the Dubai Maritime Authority (DMA). The newly launched service allows those holding a valid boating licence issued by member states of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to obtain a local recreational boating licence.
Visitors simply need to submit their existing national licence for online verification. Once validated, the DMA will issue a local licence, enabling tourists to operate jet skis, speedboats, and other recreational vessels for leisure, sports, and tourism activities.
For those planning a visit, taking a boat ride on Dubai’s waters is one of the most thrilling experiences (not mentioning the stunning views). But the city has so much to offer!
Even if you’re coming back for what feels like a hundredths time, be sure to make the most of your trip. Check out the list of the city’s Top 50 Attractions, which are a must-see for anyone visiting the vibrant metropolis!
