The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island that is shaped like a palm tree if you see it from the sky. You can soak under the Middle-Eastern sun at the beaches and dine at the luxurious restaurants here.
This fun waterpark has super-fun water slides, a lazy river to float along, and a close-up view of real dolphins, making it a must-visit spot.
If you want to experience Dubai's and the UAE's rich history in depth, visit the Dubai Museum. Located in the Al Fahidi Fort, the museum shows how Dubai transformed from a small village into the modern city it is today.
Located in the older part of Dubai, this traditional market is known as a souk. The Gold Souk is filled with shops selling gold jewellery, whereas the Spice Souk has lines of stalls and stores selling authentic Middle Eastern spices. Both are a feast for the senses.
The Dubai Creek is a waterway that splits the city into two halves. You can ride an ‘Abara’- a traditional boat and cross the creek for under a few bucks. On one side of the creek, you will find the best spices and gold souks.
If you love adventures, go on a desert safari. You will be given a special car that you can drive on sand or opt for a camel ride for a more indulgent experience. At night, you can watch dancers perform to Arabian beats under the stars while relinquishing delicious food and resting on colourful cushions.
The Al Fahidi Historical District shows what Dubai looked like a long time ago before tall buildings covered the mainland. The houses were made of sand-coloured stone, and wind towers kept the indoors naturally cool, even before air conditioners existed.
