People often ask me for my tips, so I've put together my top 5 adrenaline adventures in the UAE.
5. Powerboat racing
First up is when I went racing with the world's fastest powerboat racing team, the Victory Team.
Read powerboating in Dubai or watch the episode.
4. Paramotoring over the Margham desert
Paramotoring, where I've had some of my best adventures in discovering the desert from the air.
See paramotoring in Dubai and his first flight.
3. Zip lining between mountains
From the desert, to the mountains,
and the Jebel Jais zipline in Ras Al Khaimah. See the Jebel Jais zipline.
2. Camel racing
Not everything looks as scary as it is on the outside, but this local tradition had me hanging on for dear life.
Paris challenged the women racers to a 500 m sprint: The girls overtook me ... I was left in their dust, still hanging onto a camel by my knees.
