Kites worth looking up at.

Kites are one of the oldest joys in the world, and one of the hardest things to buy well in Dubai. We make beautiful kites, ready-made or designed by you, and we bring people together on the beach to fly them.

Our story · Kite Beach, Dubai

Two kites. One crossed line.

بلّشت بخيطين اتشابكوا

Dubai Kite didn't start in an office. It started on the sand at Kite Beach, with two friends, a strong sea wind and the Burj Al Arab watching from the water.

Chapter 1

The afternoon

Mohanad Banbouk and Maher Alzaidi went to Kite Beach to do what everyone does there: fly kites and enjoy the wind. Two kites side by side, climbing higher and higher.

Chapter 2

The clash

A gust pushed the kites together. The lines crossed, the kites locked, and one of them spun down and hit the sand. Somebody shouted "Point!" To this day, they still argue about who.

Chapter 3

The game

Nobody went home. By the next rematch they were drawing zones in the sand with their heels. No cutting lines, because that's a shortcut, not a fight. Touch the ground, lose the point. First to three wins. By sunset, people on the beach had stopped to watch. Kite Fight was born.

Chapter 4

The problem

Then they went looking for better kites, and couldn't find any. Cheap toys that tear in one afternoon. Nothing beautiful. Nothing you could make your own. In a city that builds the best of everything, kites had been forgotten.

Chapter 5

The name

So they started Dubai Kite. The name comes from Dubai's vision: take something simple, add ambition, and make it world class. Dubai turned desert into a skyline. We're bringing kites back to its sky.

Why Dubai Kite

Kites are underrated. We're fixing that.

Good kites are hard to find

Most kites in shops are thin plastic toys. Ours use ripstop fabric, carbon or fiberglass spars and stitched edges, and every one is test-flown.

Custom shouldn't be hard

Your photo, your name, your colors, your flag. Design it here in two minutes, approve the proof on WhatsApp, and we build it.

Flying is better together

Weekend kite days at Kite Beach, free kites for newcomers, and Kite Fight, the game that started it all.

Look up. The sky in Dubai deserves better kites.

Kite Fight

The game that started it all

Kite fighting is centuries old. Our version is safe, fast and made for the beach. Anyone can learn it in one afternoon.

LAUNCH

Both kites up

Each player stands in their zone. On the referee's call, both kites launch and climb to fighting height.

ATTACK

Push and hook

Dive, cross lines and bump the other kite. Steer it down with your kite and your line, never by cutting.

SCORE

It hits the sand

The moment the rival kite touches the ground, you score. Relaunch and go again. First to 3 wins.

Touch the ground, lose the point.

The only rule you need to start

The rules of the sky

These rules apply at every Kite Fight match. Learn them once and you can play anywhere.

Equipment 01

  • Dubai Kite or approved kites only, same size class for both players.
  • Plain cotton or nylon line. No glass, metal or coated string, ever.
  • Both players fly the same line length, marked at 30 m.

The match 02

  • 1 vs 1. Both kites launch on the referee's signal.
  • Knock, push or tangle the other kite until it touches the ground.
  • Rival kite touches the ground = 1 point to you.
  • Best of 5 rounds, first to 3 points wins. Each round lasts 3 minutes; if nobody falls, it's a draw.

Fouls 03

  • Cutting the other player's line, on purpose or with illegal string.
  • Touching the other kite or line by hand.
  • Stepping out of your marked zone.
  • Letting go of your line.
  • Every foul gives 1 point to your opponent.

Tangles 04

  • Both kites fall tangled: the kite that touched the ground first loses the point.
  • Tangled in the air for 10 seconds: the referee stops the round and both players relaunch.

Game formats 05

  • Duel 1 vs 1, first to 3.
  • Team battle 2 vs 2, every kite down is a point for the other team.
  • King of the Sky the winner stays up, the next challenger steps in.

Questions

Before you fly

How does the photo kite work?

Upload your photo and pick a style: Classic, Fun, Colorful or Plain. Our AI centers the face on the sail. Our design team then prepares the print file and sends you a proof on WhatsApp. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

What are your kites made of?

Ripstop polyester or nylon sails, fiberglass or carbon spars, and stitched, reinforced edges. Printing is UV-resistant so colors stay bright in the Dubai sun.

Is Kite Fight safe?

Yes, the way we play it. Traditional kite fighting cuts lines with glass-coated string. We ban all cutting and coated string. You win by bringing the other kite to the ground.

I've never flown a kite. Where do I start?

Come to a Saturday kite day. We run flying lessons at 4:30 PM. The Dune frame is the easiest to learn on.

How long does delivery take?

Ready-made kites: 1–2 days in Dubai, 2–4 days across the UAE. Custom kites: 5–7 days, because we print and test-fly each one.

How much is delivery?

Free in the UAE on orders over AED 150. Otherwise AED 15.

How do I pay?

Checkout sends your order to us on WhatsApp. We confirm it and you pay by card link or cash on delivery.

Where can I fly?

Open beaches, desert and large parks with steady wind. Stay away from roads, power lines and airports, and follow local rules for each area.
