Dubai Stand Up Paddle 2026
Hatta Dam, Hatta, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
"Free paddleboarding at Hatta Dam, with mountain views and occasional unplanned swimming."
Your weekend plans have developed a sense of balance. Dubai Stand Up Paddle returns to Hatta Dam on 7 and 8 November, with free sessions from 8am to 5.30pm and mountains doing the scenery.
Boards, paddles and life jackets are supplied. Beginners are welcome; staying upright is something you can work on.
Paddleboarding is for ages six and up, with under-18s accompanied by an adult. SUP yoga starts at age ten, for anyone who thinks yoga on solid ground has become suspiciously manageable.
“Start with a beginner paddle and take in the mountain views once you’ve found your balance. Looking serene can come later.”
“Register before heading out and check your session email for instructions. Pack swimwear, a towel and dry clothes. Confidence is not waterproof. Shuttle places from Dubai World Trade Centre are subject to availability.”
