Things to do in UAE

Visit the Burj Khalifa
A visit to iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building soaring over 2,722 feet into Dubai’s nearly always bright blue skies, is a must. An architectural wonder, you’ll want to capture a photo of it and take a ride to the top via the high-speed elevator. From there you’ll enjoy a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the city, ocean and desert.

Watch the Dubai Fountain
The world’s largest choreographed fountain, the Dubai Fountain is located on the 12-hectare Burj Khalifa Lake at the center of downtown. It puts on a dazzling show with 22,000 gallons of water erupting to nearly 460 feet, illuminated by more than 700 lights rhythmically timed to music, visible from every point along the lake’s promenade and many neighboring structures.

Visit the Dubai Mall
The largest mall in the UAE and the world’s second largest, the Dubai Mall is located next to Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. It’s home to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo where visitors can swim with sharks and feed rays as well as view thousands of aquatic creatures. Other highlights include a high-adrenaline indoor theme park and an Olympic-size ice rink.

Explore the Dubai Creek

The Dubai Creek area connects the sea trading port to the desert as it passes through the heart of Dubai. Visitors can hire a wooden dhow or a water taxi for a cruise down the creek to absorb the surroundings and the Old-World charm. Dinner cruises are popular for exquisite dining with cool evening breezes and enchanting views set to Arabian style music.

Enjoy a Desert Safari with a BBQ

A safari into the desert is a must while in Dubai, and for the most unforgettable experience take a tour that includes a BBQ feast. You’ll journey across the dunes, visiting a camel farm before reaching a campsite where you can hop on camel for a ride, try sandboarding and then enjoy a BBQ meal and shisha, along with a belly dancing show.

Try Skiing in Dubai

While it might seem strange, you can experience skiing in the hot desert, thanks to Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort. The largest indoor snow park in the world can store up to 6000 tons of real snow. It includes tube slides, a chairlift ride, zipline, and a 10-foot ramp for jumping, along with the opportunity for close encounters with penguins.

Visit the Burj Al Arab

One of the world’s most extremely hotels, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab in Dubai is worth a visit – if you aren’t staying, you can book a meal at one of its nine restaurants for some access. Every room at this so-called “7-star” property is a two-level suite. The Royal Suite has 8,400-square-feet, including a private cinema and a 24-carat gold iPad.

Visit Ferrari World

Ferrari World is a Ferrari branded theme park featuring the world’s fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, with a maximum velocity of 149 mph, and it also holds the record for the largest space frame structure ever built. Visitors can take a spin in a real Ferrari, while the Bell’Italia ride travels through a miniature diorama of Italy marvels like the Roman Colosseum.

Overnight Desert Safari

One of the best ways to experience the Arabian desert is an overnight safari which will reveal the stunning sunsets over the sand, and when daylight fades away, there is nothing like the incredible night skies here far from light pollution. You’ll get to explore this sandy paradise with its awe-inspiring views and enjoy impressive performances from talented entertainers too.
