What to do in Dubai
Finding things to do in Dubai during a vacation is never a problem, as the city offers several opportunities to explore its attractions based on one's interests and available time. You can begin by taking a tour of Dubai city and the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood, visiting interesting museums such as the Museum of the Future or mosques, or climbing the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa. You can also indulge in a shopping tour at the city's most famous malls, such as the Dubai Mall. Among the most interesting tours to take are the Dubai Desert Safari, a cruise along Dubai Creek, exploring Dubai's artificial islands, or visiting the Dubai Miracle Garden.

The tour offers an opportunity to explore the Dubai desert with the guidance of an expert in a 4x4 off-road vehicle. It's a unique experience that allows you to discover Arab culture and the beauty of the desert with spectacular views of the sand dunes. Once you reach the base camp in the desert, there are several activities to do, such as walking, sandboarding, quad or camel riding, trying traditional costumes, getting henna tattoos, enjoying a traditional Arabian barbecue dinner, watching a belly dance show, and finally admiring the stars in the desert night sky, an unforgettable experience.

The tour lasts for about 6-7 hours and comfortable clothing with a scarf to protect from sand during the desert drive is recommended, and since temperatures in the desert can be quite high during the day, it's best to bring water and sunscreen.

The Dubai Creek boat tour is an incredible experience to explore one of Dubai's most iconic landmarks in a unique and fascinating way. The tour usually starts at the Deira bridge, where there are several options to choose from, such as a motorboat or a traditional boat called an abra (a small flat-bottomed boat, usually made of wood, used to cross the Creek from one shore to the other). On board the boat, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Dubai's skyline with its famous skyscrapers, the Jumeirah Mosque, the Emir's Palace, and the Al Fahidi Fort. The tour continues with a cruise along the Creek, Dubai's canal that divides the city into two parts, Deira and Bur Dubai.

During the tour, you can admire local markets, souks (the Grand Souk of Al Ras is one of the most beautiful), which sell spices, fabrics, gold, and local crafts. The cruise is relaxing and allows you to observe Dubai's most important places from a different perspective.
 
Dubai's Artificial Islands

The tour of Dubai's artificial islands is an interesting excursion to explore Palm Jumeirah, Deira Island, and World Island. Starting from the city's coast, you can admire spectacular views, imposing skyscrapers, white beaches, and the blue Arabian Sea. On Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island shaped like a palm tree, you can discover the luxurious architecture of hotels, restaurants, and private villas. Here, among the most interesting places to visit, there is the famous Atlantis The Palm Hotel and the Atlantis Mall.

World Island, where some of Dubai's most exclusive villas are located, is an artificial archipelago of islands shaped like a world map. The tour, which lasts about 4-5 hours and includes transportation to and from the hotel with an expert multilingual guide, is a beautiful experience to see Dubai's architecture up close while enjoying splendid landscapes.
