(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) During her recent visit to Dubai, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach decided to overcome one of her 'greatest fears' while holidaying in the emirate.

Taking to Instagram, Wurtzbach shared highlights of when she decided to go skydiving in Dubai over the weekend. In the caption, she admitted that going skydiving was a spontaneous decision: "I remember seeing people with their parachutes from the balcony of my hotel room and I thought Kung kaya nila, dapat kayanin ko rin! (If they can do it,I can too!) Why would I let myself miss out because of fear?" she wrote.

Wurtzbach also admitted that she has a fear of heights and that she always gets nervous when boarding airplanes.

With the help of Skydive Dubai, Pia managed to overcome her fear of flying as she jumped out of a plane overlooking the emirates' skyline. She also shared a video of her skydiving experience on her Instagram handle.

After making the dive and landing safely on the ground, Pia commented that being up in the sky felt "surreal". Wurtzbach described the sight as "the craziest, most beautiful thing I've ever seen".

The Miss Universe 2015 titleholder was in Dubai recently for a short holiday. Apart from skydiving, Pia also visited some of Dubai's most famous landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, and the souks of Old Dubai. She also went sailing around the Palm Jumeirah.
