Things to Do in Dubai
Dubai is a magical emirate that combines the Middle Eastern traditional lifestyle and Western way of living. In Dubai, you can find the colorful traditional hijabs anywhere on the street and you can also find people with the most stylish fashion. Anything can happen in this magical land. For indoor activities that will refresh you on a very hot day in Dubai, go to the oddly-shaped Museum of the Future (full of technology-packed exhibits ideal for families), Dubai Aquaventure Waterpark (one of the world's largest indoor aquariums), or attend a performance of La Perle by Dragone (all attendants report that it exceeded their expectations!). On the other hand, if you like outdoor adventures, there are many fun options that will make your heart race. Join a Desert Safari that includes a camel, bike or quad ride.
Dubai is a beautifully odd combination of the ocean and the desert, the modern and the ancient, the past and the future right next to each other. From just a deserted island where it was hard to even live on, Dubai has emerged to be a global city and one of the biggest business hubs in the Middle East. One of the best ways to learn about this complete transformation is by joining some Dubai Free Walking Tours. In particular, we recommend booking the Essential Free Tour in Dubai, which is led by a local guide and starts early in the morning to avoid the heat. The tour will take you and a small group of travelers around the city center of Dubai, quickly stopping by all the important landmarks of the city. Optionally, there are Free Tours by Night perfect to explore all highlights more comfortably.
Dubai is the kingdom of ‘the best.’ From luxurious shopping centers (such as The Dubai Mall, Burjuman or Mall of the Emirates) to an iconic 7-star hotel (Burj Al Arab), Dubai houses the most opulent forms of entertainment, accommodations, and everything else. With a Free Walking Tour in Dubai, you will see the most iconic skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in the world, on a budget! On this little island stands the Burj Khalifa, which is the world's highest building. And remember that all the luxurious things of Dubai do not stop on land. Dubai is also famous for some of the most scenic artificial islands in the world, including Palms Island, which is beautifully shaped like a palm tree in the middle of the ocean. Other top-rated highlights on a City Tour in Dubai include the Marina, where you can enjoy the blue waters of the Persian Gulf.
