Experience Winter Thrills
5 of the Coolest Things to Do in Abu Dhabi for Winter
Abu Dhabi is a thrilling destination to visit all year round, but winter seems more popular than other seasons. The weather’s perfect: it’s not warm, but not too cold either. Whether you’ve flown in to escape freezing temperatures or are a resident who “can’t wait to winter,” CLYMB™ Yas Island, Abu Dhabi can serve as your starting point for “wintery fun.”
We have the biggest indoor skydiving flight chamber and the region’s tallest indoor climbing wall. What could be cooler for winter than taking on thrilling, record-breaking action? Here are five of the coolest things to do for winter in Abu Dhabi.
Indoor Skydiving
The sensation of flying is unlike anything else. That wondrous, exhilarating experience is even better when done in a controlled environment. Indoor skydiving makes the dream of flight a reality no matter what the weather is outside, plus you get much longer sessions than outdoor skydiving.
Reach New Heights
Our record-breaking flight chamber will allow you to hone your skills if you’re also looking to become a professional skydiver. Skilled instructors will take you through every flight, guiding as you progress through belly and back flying positions. And If you’re a CLYMB™ first time flyer, you get a safety briefing and one-on-one instruction. Your indoor skydiving experience also comes with a certificate.
Indoor Climbing
How about a full body workout on a 42-meter (138 feet) wall? Over the years, wall climbing has become popular, with gyms adding climbing walls, billions of people watching social media videos of the sport, and the Summer Olympics including sport climbing in its lineup.
Rise To Better Health
The appeal of climbing isn’t just about the challenge of finding the right route to reach the top, or in our case, The SUMMYT™. Wall climbing builds strength and improves cardiovascular health, helping you burn 8 to 10 calories per minute. This fun, thrilling activity for winter also boosts brain power because it sharpens your decision-making, planning, and coordination skills. Two hours of climbing, according to one study, enhances working memory capacity by 50%.
Walls to Conquer
Indoor climbing at CLYMB™ includes the record-breaking climbing wall in Abu Dhabi The SUMMYTTM as well as four other walls to suit your preference. They’re designed for every level of climber: from the warmup wall for beginners, which is 6 meters (20 feet) high, to the advanced wall, which is 22 meters (72 feet). Indoor climbing can be a fun family activity, as it’s fun and safe with experienced instructors and routinely checked gear.
