Things to DO in Dubai

There's a reason why they call Dubai the desert city. Make the most of its serene sandy landscape with a range of fun activities, whether you're looking to raise the adrenaline with quad-biking or relax on a luxury overnight escape. On a Desert Safari trip, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset or sunrise before reaching the campsite where you have the opportunity to do a camel ride, sand boarding and try out a henna design on your hand or foot. After working up an appetite, you can also enjoy a delicious barbecue meal and shisha (the famous Arabic water pipe) while watching a belly dancer perform around the campfire. Sounds exciting, right?

Dubai is magical after the sun goes down, and many people frequent this city for its nightlife and ultramodern architecture.

Dubai is the city that never sleeps. From night markets to food tours, there's no excuse to stay in once the sun goes down.

Witness the spectacle of the Dubai Fountains show, test your swing in the dark at the glowing mini-golf course hidden in the depths of WAFI Mall, experience Dubai Creek by night from the comfort of a luxury dinner cruise and tackle your fitness goals at a 24-hour spa.
