How desert parasailing works
You are fitted with a harness attached to a parachute, which is connected by a line to a jeep. As the jeep drives across a flat stretch of sand, the parachute lifts you into the air, and you are brought down again when the run ends. The operator’s team handles the launch and landing.
Conditions and timing
Parasailing depends heavily on wind. Too little and the parachute will not lift; too much and the operator will stop flights. This means it can be cancelled at short notice, so it is best not to plan your trip around a single slot. Mornings and late afternoons are common times.
Who it suits
It suits adventurous adults and teenagers who are comfortable with heights. Weight and age limits are set by the operator. If you are nervous, watch one or two flights first; many people decide to go once they see it.
Combining it with your stay
Parasailing pairs well with quad biking and a jeep safari for an adventure afternoon, and Desert Mafia Camp is a good base for an activity-heavy stay.
