Tired of the cold weather, the snow and you want to enjoy sun and sea at this time of the year? Then head to Dubai. There are many attractions to see and many things to do. You won’t be bored that’s for sure.
Let’s check out the top 5 things to do in Dubai:
- Desert safari
Do you want to see red and gold sand dunes? Do you want to try sand surfing? If your answer is yes then enjoy an unforgettable desert safari in Dubai. You don’t have to worry because expert drivers will take you to the desert. You can contact the following operators: Desert Safari Dubai and Desert Rangers. - Jumeirah Mosque
Don’t miss the Jumeirah Mosque because this might be your only chance to see a mosque in Dubai. Non-Muslims usually are not allowed into the Islamic house of worship. When you visit the city during Ramadan you’ll notice the iftar tents everywhere, it’s a truly amazing time to visit Dubai plus you’ll have the chance to sample a traditional Emirati feast. - Authentic food
Once you’re in Dubai you have to try authentic flavours. There’re so many options it’s really hard to choose. You can try Pakistani curries or Nihari beef and lamb stews from about £3. If you are into Indian food you can order that too – it’s pretty cheap, south Indian thali costs only £2 in Karama Park. If you like fish then visit Al Bayt Al Baghdadi on Al Muteena Street because they cook salt-crusted Iraqi cod. Have you ever tried Lebanese and Egyptian meze? If haven’t visit the Mankhool Road. - Travelling with kids
Children play an important part in Emirati culture. Your kids won’t be bored that’s for sure. You can check out the following attractions when you travel with your family:
– Dubai Mall: it’s the world’s largest entertainment centre
– KidZania: it’s a mini city for kids where they can play at anything from being a doctor to driving a bus
– Sega Republic: indoor amusement park, be prepared because it’s huge – 7,000sqm
– Dubai Aquarium: it has 33,000 different species and a shark tunnel. - Dubai’s Old Town
Although everything is modern in Dubai you can still find the past. Dubai’s spiritual heart is Bastakiya. It has many art galleries ie. Basta Art Cafe in Al Fahidi Street. The shaded streets have a charm and you can feel how the city looked like before the “big change”. If you’re interested in Dubai’s history then visit Dubai Museum.
