Things to do in Dubai

Dubai is a metropolis in the UAE, rising from the desert along the Persian Gulf. Once a small port, it has transformed into a ultra-modern city. Dubai weather is hot and dry, with cooler months from November to April for desert safaris, rooftop dining, and beach days. Shopping is a major draw—Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world right next to the towering Burj Khalifa, offers endless retail and entertainment. The Palm Jumeirah stretches into the sea, home to luxurious resorts and beach clubs. For sweet lovers, Dubai chocolate is a must-try and makes a great souvenir too. From sandy adventures to sky-high views and world-class shopping, Dubai never stops dazzling.

Reviews: Dubai Desert Safari, Dune Bashing, Camel Ride, Sandboarding & BBQ

Our day trip was fantastic! Our guide/ driver were very nice and helpful. The best part was the desert 4wheeling and sunset sandboarding. Lots of beautiful pictures. The dinner show was fun too! Even the buffet food was quite delicious with the BBQ and fresh made roti! Great value for a half day experience. Pleasing my husband and teenage daughter were not easy and we all had smiles on our faces!

Overall experience was very nice, tour guide cum driver was excellent. Explained everything in detail. Only we didn’t like was lot of time was spent traveling in the car. There maybe many reasons for that, but overall we think lot of time could be better managed.

Absolutely lovely aesthetically pleasing show. If you've ever seen a Las Vegas show or Cirque du Soleil, you might feel underwhelmed, but I still definitely feel for the price it's worth seeing and a lovely thing to do in Dubai. I also think that showed itself is very nice, even though the technical level is probably not as complex as again, the other big productions. But that doesn't take away from the show being great on its own. I really enjoyed it! you don't necessarily have to sit too far in front but I think it is nice to get more front seats if you have the budget. would definitely recommend!

The driver, a young Arab man, picked us up at the hotel promptly at 2:30 PM in a 7-seater SUV. Our family of three was picked up along the way, along with two other foreigners. My 1.75-meter-tall son had to stretch his legs diagonally in the last row. Thankfully, the drive only took about 50 minutes. At the rest areas and campsites, many enthusiastic Arabs tried to sell paid services. If you don't want something, be sure to say "NO" immediately. Don't be shy and end up being tricked into buying something. We booked a group tour for a little over 500 RMB per person. Overall, the activity was quite interesting, adding a new dimension to the Dubai desert adventure. The activity ended around 8:30 PM, and the vehicle returned to the hotel. We arrived around 9 PM, showered, and went to bed. The Ctrip customer service provided continuous WeChat support throughout the trip – a big thumbs up! 👍

We liked everything, but the description didn't match. We bought the costumes for 140 dirhams, and they dropped us off at a store along the way. There was no sandboarding or camel ride.
