Dubai is definitely one of the biggest sailfish destinations in the world. The warm and shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf provide bounty of plankton for the vast shoals of sardines that are followed not only by sailfish. Sea conditions are calm with good visibility and the sailfish are caught approximately 30 - 40 miles offshore in only 30 meters of water. Other fish that are caught in the gulf much nearer to all the marinas are kingfish, queenfish, dourado (dolphin), long tail tuna, giant trevally, bonito, Spanish mackerel, cobia and barracudas. Shore fishing provides with barracuda, big saltwater catfish, stingrays and guitarfish, sometimes various species of shark. The fishing season runs from October till May, what is supposed to be Dubai's winter. Thus the temperatures range between 25 and 30°C provides non-fishers with excellent conditions for activities like any other kind of water sports, golfing, shopping the countless malls and souks, going out to the desert or just "extreme beaching".
