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.

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! 👍

Najeeb was an excellent host! The quad bike tour was fantastic, they took amazing photos! And the BBQ was simply divine, one of the best quality options you could find in the desert, and the scenery was beautiful throughout. A huge thank you!

Thank you for the jeep tour of the Sharjah desert!) We all enjoyed it, it’s a pity there is no location at sunset.
