As social media continues to play an increasingly prominent role in our lives, influencers are constantly looking for ways to capture the attention of their followers and stand out from the crowd. In Dubai, a city known for its opulence and extravagance, influencers have taken things to the extreme with some of the craziest stunts ever seen on social media. Here are five of the craziest stunts influencers have ever done in Dubai:
Skydiving off the Burj Khalifa
In April 2014, popular Base Jumpers Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet gained global attention by skydiving off the top of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. While the stunt was undoubtedly impressive, it was also dangerous, and the influencers faced criticism from many who felt that they were putting themselves and others in danger.
Driving A Supercar Through A Mall
Another influencer drove a Lamborghini through Dubai Mall, weaving in and out of shoppers and narrowly avoiding collisions with store displays. The stunt was undoubtedly daring, but it was part of an exhibition by the local Supercar Club “Supercar Majlis.”
Swimming With Sharks
Another stunt that could have ended in disaster, was when a number of influencers swam with sharks in an aquarium in Dubai. Swimming with sharks is a popular activity among daredevils and thrill-seekers who visit Dubai. Many influencers who visited the city, including popular Youtuber “Moe Money” have jumped in the aquarium with the deadly animal. While the sharks are well trained and not considered dangerous, the stunt is still risky and requires a great deal of bravery to part-take in.
Jumping Off A Skyscraper
A group of popular daredevils gained notoriety by jumping off “Princess Tower” in Dubai Marina, freefalling for several seconds before deploying a parachute and landing safely on the ground. The stunt was impressive and was organized by Dubai’s biggest sports hub, XDubai.
Surviving In The Desert
In a recent video posted on his popular Arabic Youtube channel, mega Youtuber Mo Vlogs went to the desert with his sister Lana and a group of friends and attempted to survive with minimal food and water. While this stunt was risky, it was also hilarious to watch the popular YouTubers spend a whole day in the desert.
