Incredibly Expensive Things Found Only in Dubai

Water-propelled Jet Boots

Estimated Value: $5,000
Producer: Flyboard
In Dubai, the playground for adrenaline enthusiasts and water sports aficionados seems limitless. Beyond the allure of high-rise tennis courts and the novelty of owning exotic pets, those seeking a surge of excitement can turn their attention to the Persian Gulf for an extraordinary activity: hydroflying boots.


The latest obsession for those with disposable income to spare is flyboarding. This sport involves a long hose attached to the device, which redirects water pressure through jet nozzles beneath the boots, granting the user the sensation of flight above the water’s surface.
These boots can catapult users more than 70 feet into the air or propel them swiftly underwater, reaching speeds up to 25 mph. While the safety of such high-octane activities might be questionable, the thrill and fun they provide are undeniable.
