Things you can do in Dubai


Dubai is a wonderful place that has something to offer to anyone. Whether you are here for shopping, business meeting, and holiday or have come to meet a relative, you will find many things of your interest. There are unlimited options in Dubai for entertainment. The amazing architecture, shopping malls, dhow cruises, and desert safari and city tours are some of the things that you can enjoy here.
If you are new here or visiting for the first time then you must use city tours that are offered by many experts in the city.  You can choose to take city tours of different cities. Abu Dhabi is a famous city in Dubai, when you book a city guide for this place they pick your the Dubai Hotel and drive to Union Square for a photo stop, followed a visit to Cultural Foundation (established in 1981). A short ten minutes walk leads to Qasr Al Hosn (meaning “White Fort”-The oldest stone building in the city), where you will visit Al Hosn Palace (built in the late 19th century). Thereafter enjoy a panoramic drive to the Al Bateen District (the oldest occupied area of the UAE capital city, which is to be redeveloped at a cost of US $435 million to include a signature waterfront destination with a luxury five-star hotel complex). This is followed by a visit to the Heritage village authentic replica of a Bedouin encampment before oil wealth struck the area). Before heading back to the hotel take a photo stop at Marina Cafe (stunning view of the city’s skyline) and enjoy opportunity to have lunch at a variety of restaurants at the Marina Mall.

The entire visit lasts for about 7 hours. Also if you are looking forward for some great shopping in Dubai then booking for a Dubai shopping tour would make all your dreams come true. In this tour you will be picked by the expert company from your hotel and driven through the scenic route of Dubai for photo stops at Burj Al Arab (world famous 7-star hotel), Jumeirah Mosque (the only Mosque allowing non-Muslims to enter), Burj Dubai (under construction to be the world’s tallest building), and the Sheikhs Palace (a stunning palace with peacocks welcoming you). Next visit the Dubai Museum and experience an Abra (water taxi) creek crossing towards Spice Market and a visit Gold Souk before heading back to the hotel.

For some more adventure and fun you can book a hatta safari. It is a desert drive with dune bashing followed the adventurous mountain trail. The meandering route takes you through lush greenery surrounded by the rugged Hajar Mountains with its tempting cool blue waters in the wadis. Stop to enjoy the peace and tranquility in the canyons. The 4wheeled vehicles proceed towards the Hatta Heritage Village to visit the old fort and its village.

On this safari, either a picnic-lunch in the wadi, or lunch at a local restaurant is arranged for you. On the return journey to Dubai, you can halt at the quaint camel market where you have a good opportunity to observe extraordinary ship of the desert.
