Top 10 Things to Do In Dubai, UAE

Today, we’re gonna catch up on the Top 10 things to do in Dubai. Dubai is a city that’s got it all – the glitz, the glamour and the rizz and right now, we are about to countdown the top 10 must-dos in this amazing place. Hold on to your camels cos it’s about to be a wild ride.

10. Explore the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark

We start off with the Dubai Atlantis Waterpark, the Middle East’s largest of its kind and probably the Best Waterpark you can find in the Middle East.

What the waterpark does to you is that it gets your adrenaline pumping especially with a thrilling 90-foot drop into the shark-filled lagoon from the Tower of Neptune and several other exciting activities you can indulge in.

However, if you just want to unwind or you’re the chill type, you can just grab a bite at a restaurant or relax on the sandy beach but make sure you don’t miss the behind-the-scenes tour to learn fascinating facts about sea life from a marine guide at The Ambassador Lagoon.

9. Visit the Burj Khalifa

I’m almost sure you must have heard about the iconic Burj Khalifa by now. I mean, it’s the world’s tallest building!

The experience is mind-blowing. You get to soak in the breathtaking views from the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors.

That isn’t all.

You can also hop into the super-fast elevators that zip you up at an exhilarating 10m/s. Once up there, you can explore the city in detail with high-powered telescopes.

Trust me when I say it’s better experienced than heard about.

8. Experience Abu Dhabi Day Tour

What’s a Dubai Vacation without a tour of the capital city? Thankfully Abu Dhabi has a lot in store for all guests.

There isthe Jebel Ali Port, the largest man-made port in the world, the Grand Mosque, the Heritage Village, and the Emirates Palace. Guests can also stop at Marian Mall for lunch.

And for those Instagram-worthy pictures, make a stop at Ferrari World!

7. Hop on a Private Morning Desert Safari Dubai

Ever wondered what a morning escapade into the heart of Dubai’s desert wonderland would feel like? Exhilarating is the word that describes it perfectly.

The unforgettable journey through the Lahbab desert is one you won’t forget in a hurry as there are several activities lined up to spice up your adventure. Sandboarding, quad biking, and camel riding, to mention but a few.

I highly recommend it!

6. Experience Ski Dubai

The word “masterpiece” begins to make more sense to you the moment you step in here because that is what it is – an architectural masterpiece!

Nestled within the heart of the Mall of the Emirates is the world’s largest indoor ski resort in a desert oasis. 

Now close your eyes for a bit and picture this – an 85-metre-high indoor mountain adorned with 5 slopes that cater to all thrill-seekers, from beginners to experts. Sounds crazy, right?

With a 400-metre-long run and even the world’s inaugural indoor black run, this place brings to life all the wildest dreams of a snow enthusiast.

You will be wowed. That’s a promise.

5. Check out the Dubai Mall

Shopping doesn’t always have to be a regular experience and at the Dubai Mall, you get to experience a whole different shopping experience. The mall, located on Doha Street is the second largest mall globally in terms of land area and it has something for everyone. Not kidding you at all!

There is an expansive aquarium for marine life enthusiasts, a whopping 22 cinema screens for the movie freaks, an impressive lineup of 120 restaurants for the foodies and a 250-room luxury hotel to crown it all.

The Dubai Mall is an absolute must-visit for any Dubai guest!

4. Add colours to your day at the Dubai Miracle Garden

The Dubai Miracle Garden literally brightens up your Dubai experience with its amazing tapestry boasting nearly 50 million blossoms.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg though! 

It is the world’s largest flower garden and always lives up to its billing. There is also the Dubai Butterfly Garden, cradling 15,000 butterflies from 26 diverse species, transforming the garden into the world’s largest artificial butterfly sanctuary.

That isn’t all!

The flower garden is also home to the incredible Emirates’ A380 Floral Theme, which has secured its place in the Guinness Book of World Records and the world’s tallest structured topiary which stands at an astonishing 59 feet 3 inches.

What could be more fantastic?

3. Go on the Aladdin Tour

The Aladdin Tour lets you explore the vibrant side of Dubai like never before. From shopping in bustling souks with insider tips, to cruising across the creek in an enchanting “abra” water taxi, and discovering the treasures of Dubai Museum and Al Fahidi quarter, it is all shades of exciting. You also get to savour the local flavours as you relish street food, Arabic coffee, and delightful tastings. 

I’d try out this tour if I were you!

2. Have a fun day at the Dubai Marina Yacht Tour

Need a not-so-expensive activity to indulge in?

Well, the Dubai Marina Yacht Tour is just perfect for you.

You can join fellow adventurers on a shared cruise departing from the Dubai Marina. The luxurious yacht features sunbathing and seating areas and an onboard breakfast or barbecue. 

What more?

Visitors get to catch all the breathtaking sights – the Burj Al Arab, the Atlantis and a lot more others while cruising through the Persian Gulf.
