What to Wear for the XLine Dubai Zipline

You've booked your tickets and you're buzzing with excitement! Now for the big question: what to wear for the XLine Dubai?
Choosing the right outfit is important for both your comfort and your safety. You'll be flying at speeds of up to 80 km/h in a "Superman" harness, so you need clothes that will stay put and won't get tangled.

Here’s a simple "Do and Don't" guide to planning your zipline outfit.

What to Wear: At a Glance
Do Wear
✅ T-shirts, Polos, or Long Sleeves
✅ Shorts (mid-thigh or longer) or Trousers
✅ Closed-toe Shoes (sneakers, running shoes)
✅ Hair tied up securely
✅ Contact Lenses or Prescription Glasses

Don't Wear
❌ Skirts or Dresses
❌ Flip-flops, Sandals, or Crocs
❌ High Heels or Loose-fitting shoes
❌ Loose Jewelry (necklaces, bracelets)
❌ Hats, Caps, or Scarves (will fly off)

The "Do Wear" List: Your Perfect XLine Outfit

The key words are comfortable and secure.

1. Comfortable Tops: A standard T-shirt, polo shirt, or a light long-sleeved shirt is perfect. You'll be wearing a harness over your clothes, so you don't want anything with sharp buttons, zippers, or studs that might be uncomfortable. In the cooler winter months, a light jacket or hoodie is fine.
2. Comfortable Bottoms: This is important. You must wear trousers, athletic pants, or shorts that are at least mid-thigh length. This is because the harness has leg straps that will be fitted snugly. Very short shorts will be uncomfortable as the straps may rub against your skin.
3. Secure, Closed-Toe Shoes: This is a mandatory part of the XLine Dubai dress code. You must wear shoes that cover your entire foot and cannot fall off.
   • Perfect choices: Sneakers, running shoes, or any flat, laced-up shoes.
   • What happens if I wear the wrong shoes? If you arrive in flip-flops or sandals, you will be denied entry or have to purchase shoes from the nearby Dubai Marina Mall.

The "Don't Wear" List: Leave These at Home

1. No Skirts or Dresses: This is a strict rule. Due to the nature of the "Superman" harness and for reasons of safety and modesty, you cannot wear a skirt or dress of any kind, even with leggings underneath.
2. No Loose Footwear: Absolutely no flip-flops, sandals, slides, Crocs, high heels, or any shoe that isn't securely fastened to your foot. They will fall off and become a safety hazard for the people and yachts 170 meters below you!
3. No Loose Accessories: Anything that can flap around or fall off should be left in your locker. This includes:
   • Hats and caps
   • Scarves
     
   • Long, dangling necklaces or earrings
   • Bracelets
   • Smartwatches (it's safer to leave them in the locker)

More Tips for Your XLine Flight

• Tying Up Your Hair: If you have long hair, you must tie it up securely in a ponytail, bun, or braid. This is to prevent it from getting tangled in the equipment.
• Glasses and Sunglasses: Good news! You can wear your prescription glasses or sunglasses. The team will provide a special lanyard to secure them around your neck so they don't fall off.
• GoPros and Phones: You cannot bring your own phone or camera on the ride for safety reasons. Don't worry! A high-quality GoPro is attached to your helmet to capture everything, and the cost of the video and photos is included when you book your XLine Dubai experience.

Just follow these simple tips, and you'll be perfectly dressed for one of the most epic adventures in Dubai!
