The tour, run by Nemo WaterSports, won in two categories of Tripadvisor’s 2021 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Things to Do awards: Overall Experiences and Water Adventures.

The winners were chosen based on traveller reviews and ratings for tours, activities and attractions on Tripadvisor collected from January 1, 2020, to April 20, 2021.

The Nemo WaterSports’ Jet Ski Tour of Dubai gives travellers a chance to zip across the ocean and take in views of the city skyline and landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina, Atlantis, The Palm and the Burj Khalifa.

Dubai retained its number-one position with Tripadvisor for offering the world’s top tourism experience for the second consecutive year. Last year, OceanAir won the top global award in the Overall Experiences category for its camel safari and desert BBQ offering.
