10 Adventurous Things To Do In Dubai

Guestpost by Neha Singh

Ever thought of diving underwater with sharks? Or want to swing through Dubai's sky-piercing buildings at a lightning speed? Dubai is a city with endless possibilities. Not just towering buildings and fancy resorts fill this city — there are also electrifying water parks, internationally-famed theme parks, daredevil rides, pristine dunes, and ravishing coastline. These promise a holiday of adrenaline rush and race. 

Read the top 10 adventurous things to do in Dubai that will thrill you every moment: 

1. Skydiving

If you want adrenaline to course through veins, try skydiving above Palm Jumeirah. In a helicopter flying at a whopping height of 14,000 ft, you will freefall and swoop down onto Dubai's incredible landscape (under complete surveillance). You will be harnessed to the professional and experienced instructor who will brief you about this remarkable adventure and its safety tips beforehand. As you gentle descend, watch the stunning Dubai skyline from a different and much dramatic point of view. It gets better when you know that you can carry an Instagram-video of this exhilarating escapade back home. 

My 2020 Travels (The pandemic year)

by Regin Reyno

Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

Year 2020. Oh what a year.

Before the pandemic and lockdown, I was able to go to a few places. In fact, prior to the lockdown/enhanced community quarantine, it was a busy time for me, hopping from place to place. It was quite adventurous but at the same time, physically exhausting. I was tired but fulfilled. 

And then, the pandemic hit and I had a 7-month rest.

The Lord is merciful. I am so grateful for His protection and providing me this opportunity to travel in 2020.

Thailand: A Photo Essay

by Regin Reyno

Thailand was my 2nd home for almost 5 years. I enjoyed my stay in this country where you can find an abundance of cultural destinations and experiences, friendly people, and delicious cuisine. It is also a hub of travelers, so meeting international people is easy.

It was also in this country where I took my Cambridge CELTA certification. Thailand will always have a place in my heart. 

Here are some of my favorite shots in the Land of Smile:

Press On: Class 2000 Graduation Song

by Regin Reyno

For our graduation ceremony in high school, I was tasked to write the lyrics for our class song. Our class motto was, "Press On". So, I made a song with our motto as the title.

I was an officer of our graduating class, and when we had a meeting, discussing on what our class motto would be, I suggested "Press On". 

"Press On" was our motto during my elementary graduation. It was special to me because it means grit; just moving on, continuing our journey despite the obstacles on the road. 

That’s why my elementary graduation and high school graduation has the same class motto.

Myanmar: A Photo Essay

by Regin Reyno

This onced closed country; a country where its culture is still very much preserved, is a haven for travel photographers. 

One of the most enigmatic countries in the world, visiting it in 2012 and 2017, was for me, an experience I'll never forget.

May you have a glimpse of some moments put in frame using my camera.
