Top Things To Do In Dubai

Whether you live there or are simply planning to visit , Dubai is a city with so much to offer the international jetsetter looking for a taste of luxury. This 'jewel of the desert' is not referred to as an 'adults playground' for nothing. So let's have a look at some of the best things to do in Dubai.

Dubai, ever the master of self promotion, has dubbed itself the 'city of gold'. Hubris notwithstanding, a quick trip to the bustling souks will tell you that it's not such a tall claim. A huge amount of the most precious of precious metals is traded in Dubai. Even if you don't plan to buy, just browsing through a gold souk is a delightful experience.

If you've just moved to Dubai, getting your bearings will be a top priority. Similarly, tourists don't want to waste time getting lost. A good way of learning the city is by taking a 'Big Bus Tour'. Tickets stay valid for 24 hours of unlimited use, so you can stop off at other hotspots as you go, without worrying about using your credit. Just hop on and off as you go. Even better, the Wonderbus Tour takes you on a magical trip across land, before submerging in water.

Dune buggies. Perhaps the two most exciting words in Dubai. What could be more thrilling than roaring across the desert in a 4x4, hopping over sand-dunes all the way. Often, dune buggy excursions are rounded off with a traditional dinner in a Bedouin tent. A great day-into-night trip for tourists and residents alike.

For a flavor of old Dubai, check out Al Bastakiya, a heritage area dating back to the late 19th Century, where wealthy people made their homes until the commencement of the rapid development we see today. 'New Dubai' must have come as quite a shock to those wealthy desert residencies.

Take a boat trip across the river on an abra. The fee, at 50 fils, is nominal, and gets you to a new destination as well as being a great way of viewing this stunning city.
