A panoramic Jet Ski tour of Dubai has been recognised as the world’s best tourism experience for 2021, winning top global accolades in two categories of the Tripadvisor 2021 Travellers' Choice ‘Best of the Best’ Things to Do Awards, for Overall Experience and Water Adventures.

Offering guests an unforgettable opportunity to take in Dubai’s breathtaking sights while on a thrilling water adventure, Nemo WaterSports’ Jet Ski tour of Dubai gives travellers a chance to zip across the ocean and take in views of the stunning city skyline and landmarks - Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina, Atlantis – The Palm and the Burj Khalifa.

The Awards, an initiative of Tripadvisor, one of the world’s largest travel platforms, recognise the world's top experiences featuring tours and activities. Winners are determined on the basis of traveller reviews and ratings for experiences, tours, activities and attractions on Tripadvisor collected from 1 January 2020 – 30 April 2021. In announcing the awards, Tripadvisor said it was sharing the activities that travellers loved the most throughout the pandemic, so others could go out and enjoy the diverse experiences themselves. Referring to the No. 1 Experience in the world for 2021, it said that “travelers are loving soaking in the stunning Dubai skyline with the thrill of a jet ski ride, and ample photo-ops”.

Dubai has retained its number one position with Tripadvisor for offering the world’s top tourism experience for the second consecutive year.
