1. Desert Safari- Also known as “Dune Bashing”, this is one activity raved about by many travelers. Take a 4X4 around the sandy dunes of Dubai’s deserts. “Camping” packages are offered after the activity which can include food, drinks, belly dancing lessens, dress up in traditional garb, shisha smoking and camel rides.
2. Shisha smoking- Shisha is essentially a water pipe used for smoking purposes, originating about 500 years ago. The tobacco is heated by coals and the flavored smoke is purified and cooled through the water after which it emerges through the suction tube, from where it is smoked.
3. The Gold Souk- Dubai isn’t known as the land of gold for nothing. Visit some of the old Souk Markets and bargain a price for some gold jewelry. It can be a great souvenir or present.
4. Mall of the Emirates- This mall is a must see, even for just a few hours. Spend time shopping, watch a movie in its luxury movie theater, eat in some of its magnificent cafes and restaurants, enjoy Magic Planet- the largest indoor amusement park in the region or ski!
5. Indoor Skiing- An incredible indoor skiing mountain inside the Mall of the Emirates. The Ski Dubai mountain has fresh snow with 5 different runs of all difficulties and a freestyle zone to practice tricks.
6. Burj-al-Arab- Get out your best dress and head over to the Burj-Al-Arab. This hotel is the only 7 star hotel in the world! Even if you can’t afford to stay here or even eat at one of its restaurants, it is worth walking around and saying you’ve been in a 7 star hotel!
7. Wild Wadi- This is a famous water park in Dubai. It has the tallest and fastest free fall outside of North America. It can get you up to speeds of 80kph!
Whatever you are planning on doing in Dubai, these are some great activities that will surely impress and can easily fit in your travel plans!
