Desert Safari
 Trips
to the desert can be a great way to explore the sandy expanses
and safaris are generally half day and can include an overnight
stay in Bedouin tents.
Wadi bashing, a popular amusement with both residents
and visitors is all about exploring the wadis or dry beds
of streams that flow after the winter rains from the Hajar
Mountains. Many wadis offer scenes of unexpected beauty
like attractive rock pools, some with water year-round,
surrounded by greenery.
Driving in sand is an exciting activity. It is an adventure
in itself which combines the excitement of a rollercoaster
ride with the challenge of remaining mobile on the shifting
surface.

Golf Courses
 Even
for the non-golfer, Dubai's golf clubs are worth a visit,
both for the spectacular architecture of their clubhouses
and as examples of the successful greening and landscaping
of the desert.
More than one visitor has mistaken the lush greens and
freshwater lakes of the Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek
Golf Club for a desert mirage. Man-made oasis of rolling
green fairways, bunkers and lakes materialize miraculously
from a desert haze with superbly designed clubhouses as
their epicenters.

Dubai Zoo
 Dubai
Zoo is the oldest zoo of its kind not only in the United
Arab Emirates but also in the Arabian Peninsula. Dubai Zoo
also happens to be the first Arabian zoo to breed the rare
Chimpanzee and Arabian wild cat. It is a special place of
interest and fun for tourists and residents of Dubai.
H. H. Sheikh Rashid bin Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai,
permitted Otto J. Bulart to build the Zoo on a two hectare
plot in Jumeirah. The Dubai Zoo became a landmark as it
indicated the "town's end". Timings of the zoo
are as follows: Open 10am to 6:30pm, Wednesday to Monday.
