The best locations for adrenaline adventurers

Alexandria, Egypt: Desert Biking

The seemingly endless golden dunes that cover Egypt’s deserts are perfect for thrill-seekers looking to ramp up the speed on their bikes. Alexandria, the second largest city in Egypt, is the starting point for the annual Cross Egypt Challenge – a 3000km route which ends at the Pyramids of Giza. Outside of this event, less experienced bikers can join quad biking trips along designated paths, while the more experienced can go off-road on two-wheels. If you are after adventure what could be better than zipping through the sand and enjoying the beautiful scenery? 

Colombo, Sri Lanka: Diving

Nearly 1000 miles of palm-lined beaches lead down to the warm Indian Ocean in Sri Lanka. The landscape below the water is as varied as it is above it, making this country the perfect dive destination. These waters are home to everything from the mighty blue whale to the small but vibrant nudibranch. All of which can be seen against a backdrop of coral gardens.

Colombo, the country's ocean city, is located near to Barracuda Reef just off the coast of Mount Lavinia, a popular dive site. Among the reef you will discover a wide variety of creatures from lionfish to rays.

Kathmandu, Nepal: Skydiving

Jumping out of a plane is thrilling enough, but imagine how exciting it would be if you had the world’s tallest mountain as a backdrop. Nepal doesn’t offer just any skydiving experience. Here you can jump from a plane at 29,500 feet, higher than the Everest summit and then fall through the sky, taking in the incredible views, as you make your way back to Everest base camp.

Situated just a short distance from Kathmandu, this is guaranteed to be the adventure of a lifetime and one you won’t quickly forget.

Adventure is closer than you think, book a flight with flydubai and you will be exploring shipwrecks below the sea or flying alongside Everest before you know it.
