What is Bungee Jumping?
If you’ve seen the James Bond movie GoldenEye, then you’ll remember the opening scene which was voted in a 2002 poll as the best movie stunt of all time. In this scene, 007 leaps off the Verzasca Dam in Switzerland, 220metres above the ground, with nothing holding him but an elastic bungee cord attached to his ankles. This record-breaking jump, performed by British stuntman Wayne Michaels, boosted worldwide interest in the sport of bungee jumping.
Defying Gravity at The Gravity Zone in Dubai
Thankfully, you don’t have to brave the freezing cold of Switzerland to the same. Instead, you can get your adrenaline fix at the Gravity Zone in warm and sunny Dubai. With their offices based at 1204 API Tower, on Sheikh Zayed Road, Gravity Zone runs decently priced events in conjunction with the UK Bungee Club, the British market leader for Bungee Jumping, Adrenaline Sports and TV Stunt work with over 20 years experience. This means that you get the adrenaline rush of an extreme sport with extreme safety.
Gravity Zone offers single jumps, FAB jumps (you’ve got to check these out!) and the exhilarating, lifelong memory-making tandem jumps. In a tandem jump, you and a friend get attached to each other, and dropped from 160 feet with nothing holding you other than a bungee cord attached to your ankles. This experience will stay with you for a lifetime, and be the cause of many envious looks as you tell this story when you get back from your Dubai holiday.

If you’re visiting Dubai for the first time, there are a few things to be aware of. This dazzling city is a cosmopolitan hub, however, there are still values and traditions that need to be followed. Read on to discover the dos and don’ts of Dubai.
Dress Code
Following the dress code is essential in Dubai; it is important to dress in a respectable manner.
In public places such as restaurants, shopping centres and parks, your dress code should be in accordance with Islamic values.
In order to prevent unwanted attention, when you are in a public place, steer clear of the following:
Transparent or tight-fitted garments
Offensive slogans or images on clothing
Low-cut tops or dresses
Mini-skirts and shorts
In general though, Dubai’s dress code is not extremely strict. So as long as your shoulders are covered, and your legs are not entirely exposed, you are good to go.
On privately owned beaches, the dress code is more relaxed and wearing a bikini is the norm.
Alcohol consumption
Although it is against the law to be seen either drunk in a public place and to drink in the streets of Dubai, it is more than acceptable for non-Muslims to drink alcohol in a bar, club or restaurant as most of these premises will possess an alcohol licence.
Smoking Shisha
Like in other Arab countries, in Dubai the smoking of Shisha is widespread and something of a tradition. Flavoured tobacco is vaporised and smoked through a water-pipe; this is often accompanied by the sipping of hot mint tea. You will find many shisha cafés throughout Dubai – some of these places boasting stunning views over Dubai Marina - and as long as consumption is done responsibly, it is an unforgettable experience to try.
Drugs
When it comes to drugs, the country operates on a zero tolerance basis. The penalties are extremely severe if a person is found with illegal substances, no matter how small the amount. Even prescribed drugs are not tolerated. A custodial punishment can be handed out for something as innocuous as taking over-the-counter drugs into the country.
Public displays of affection
Public displays of affection can be seen as highly offensive. For married couples, holding hands is acceptable, but nothing more – no hugging or kissing. Save any physical contact for your apartment, just to be on the safe side!
