Why Visit Dubai

Dubai has had an amazing transition in the past 30 years becoming a world class tourist destination, with a host of breath taking attractions, events and hotels.

Tourists are spoilt for choice with a great mix of traditional and modern tourist attractions.

The Dubai climate, especially from October through to May is stunning, and great for outdoor fun.

Traditional things to do in Dubai

Dubai has a host of attractions for all ages and tastes, with both traditional and modern attractions on offer.

Those looking for traditional United Arab Emirates attractions will enjoy visiting the traditional souks, where you can take in the real Middle East, and haggle for spices, gold, clothes, etc. And while in the old town all visitors should take a boat trip across the Dubai Creek on a traditional Abra. These low costs taxi boats ferry people over the creek all day long.

Other traditional things to do in Dubai include trips out into the Desert for 4x4 fun, camel rides, camping in Bedouin tents, or maybe cruise the Creek in style on a Dhow creek and dinner cruise.

Latest things to do in Dubai

For those wanting to experience the 'new Dubai' (by which we mean attractions and activities added in the past 15 years or so) there is a great choice of amazing, and world record setting attractions.

On the hotter days of the year you can go skiing, on the real snow slopes at Ski Dubai within the Mall of the Emirates, or visit the Ice Bar.

Also great fun in the Dubai heat are the waterparks. The original and great fun Wild Wadi, near the amazing Burj Al Arab hotel. And the more recently opened Aquaventure Water Park, which is located on the equally amazing Palm Island.

Take in the amazing views over Dubai from the 'At the Top' viewing platform within the world's tallest building, the Burj Kahlifa. Enjoy dining in Atmosphere, the world's highest restaurant. Or take in the Dubai skyline from several other great high altitude restaurants like Vu's, the Skyview Bar in the Burj Al Arab or at Uptown Bar at the top of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

Or get active and try jet boating, hot air ballooning, horse riding, jet skiing, scuba diving, dune boarding, dune buggying, fishing, etc.

QUAD BIKING AND DESERT SKI

United Arab Emirates: Dubai

Quad biking provides the perfect thrill with very powerful 4 x 4 wheel bikes to conquer the posing peaks of the sand dunes. The excitement begins as soon as you view the endless stretch of the golden sand from the top. Take a deep breath, and get-set-go on a ski board all the way down the dunes. Both these sports do not need prior experience or knowledge. You can learn to master it in minutes. The program also includes a very thrilling jeep ...
