Issues to Do in Dubai: the Finest Suggestions & Finest Sights


Are you looking for a unique and sunny holiday and would you like to read more about the best sights in Dubai? Check out my tips to do in Dubai!

Admire Dubai from the Burj Khalifa, the Tallest Tower in the World

The Burj Khalifa is the symbol of Dubai. With a height of 828 meters, this is even the tallest tower in the world. Admiring the view from the Burj Khalifa is something you should definitely do in Dubai. While experiencing the tower, you will enjoy the lightning-fast elevator, after which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the entire city. Below you see the Dubai Fountains and in the distance you can even see Palm Island, with the famous Atlantis Hotel on it. For the best experience, go around sunset so you can see Dubai in daylight as well as after dark. Book your tickets in advance as this saves you a lot of money and ensures that you can enter at your desired time without having to stand in a long line. Make sure you book on time, because the times around sunset, for example, fill up quickly.

Fun fact: Dubai is the only city in the world where you can see the sun go down twice a day. The Burj Khalifa is so high that you can watch the sunset below, then take the elevator up to see the sun set again from the top.

Discover the Highlights of Dubai in a Speedboat From the Yellow Boats

One of the coolest things to do in Dubai is to take a speedboat ride. In my opinion, this is the best way to discover the beautiful landscaped coastline of Dubai in a short time. In a yellow speedboat, Yellow Boats gives you a glimpse into Dubai’s beautiful navy, after which you leave the harbor and start your tour around Palm Island.

Along the way you will see the Atlantis hotel and the Burj al Arab, the only hotel in the world with 7 stars. In addition, the guide will show you the absurd gifts that Sheikh Mohammed gives his loved ones, such as the largest yacht in the world or an entire island! If you look closely you can also see his project The World in the distance.

This is a group of artificial islands of almost 4 kilometers in the shape of the continents of the world. The speedboat goes very fast, but there is a stop at every sight, so that you can also take photos along the way.

Take a Desert Safari Through the Dubai Desert

It is that you can see it well from the plane on arrival, otherwise you can hardly imagine that Dubai city is in the middle of the desert. Yet you are in the desert within half an hour’s drive from the center. As far as I’m concerned, a Desert Safari through the desert is an absolute must during your holiday in Dubai. You will be picked up by a jeep that will take you to the edge of the desert. Here they slowly deflate the tires of the jeep for more grip, after which the adventure can begin.

Get ready for an hour of dune bashing: racing through the desert in a jeep. A very cool and unique experience. You stop in the middle of the desert to watch the beautiful sunset there. No matter how far you look, you see nothing but sand. Then you will travel to a camp in the middle of the desert, where you can enjoy a delicious barbecue, a buffet with local specialties and various activities, such as sandboarding.

Admire the Dubai Fountain Light Show

The Dubai Fountain is a huge fountain and especially in the evening it is worth a visit. Every evening a beautiful light and music show is held here, where the fountains move to famous songs from all over the world.

The fountain is no less than 275 meters long and the water is shot more than 150 meters into the air during the show. This makes it the highest fountain show in the world. The creators of these fountains also designed the famous fountains at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. The fountains are located in the Burj Lake, next to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. It is also possible to take a boat trip on Burj Lake or sail past the fountains yourself with a pedal boat or kayak.

Go Skiing or Snowboarding in the Largest Indoor Ski Hall in the World

Have you had enough of the heat in Dubai or do you want to combine a city trip to Dubai with winter sports? Then go skiing or snowboarding in Ski Dubai for a day. With 22,500 square meters, this indoor ski hall is the largest indoor ski area in the world. Ski Dubai is located in the Mall of Emirates, one of the largest shopping centers in the world. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can also go sledding or bobsledding or roll down in a giant plastic ball. Even if you are not planning to brave the cold in Ski Dubai yourself, it is still very nice to take a look here!
