Frommer's Favorite Experiences

  • Doing a Desert Safari. A journey into the timeless Arabian Desert will seem a world removed from modern Dubai, a chance to drive on the dunes, ride camels, eat authentic Arabic food, and watch belly-dancing under the stars.

  • Going to Wild Wadi. This dazzling water park is pure fun, with rides and activities for kids and adults alike. It's the perfect place to cool off during Dubai's hot days.

  • Skiing in Dubai. Unusual and utterly impractical, Ski Dubai is nevertheless one of the fantastic attractions in Dubai. Spend your day skiing, snowboarding, or throwing snowballs in freezing cold even as the outside temperature might be sizzling.

  • Taking a Dhow Cruise. Cruising the Dubai Creek by day or night is an excellent way to view the old city up close and see the new city rising up in the distance. A dinner dhow cruise is an especially enchanting experience.

  • Shopping. Dubai without shopping would be like Belgium without chocolate, as the two just go hand-in-hand. Wander Dubai's glittery tax-free malls, and don't forget to also visit the traditional Eastern markets -- especially the Gold Souk -- where bargaining is expected.

  • Spending a Day at the Beach. Most people are surprised by just how beautiful Dubai's beaches are, with powdery white sand and turquoise-colored water. There is a range of excellent public and private beaches in Dubai, with many offering watersports and activities for kids.
