Attractions in Dubai

By: Drago Bubic

Dubai is home to world-class accommodations, amazing shopping and the finest dining imaginable. However, what's there to do in Dubai? You'll find a wide range of attractions in Dubai, from natural wonders to manmade sights. To make the most of your trip, you'll need to know where to go. How do you find the best attractions in the area? Here are a few of the top choices for a fun filled stay in Dubai.
Dubai Beaches
Dubai is located on the Arabian Sea and features hundreds of miles of amazing beaches. However, the very best Dubai beaches are located just off of Jumeria Road. Be warned, though; many of the area beaches are privately owned by local hotels and resorts. Public access beaches are tucked in between, though. There's a fee to be paid to access private beaches, though. This allows you the widest range of options. Al Mamzar Park features a great public beach that costs nothing to visit.
Shopping in Dubai
Home to many things, Dubai has some of the most fantastic jewelry in the world. A number of the world's best diamond cutters have relocated to the area, as well. If you want gold and diamond shopping, head over to the Covered Gold Souk in Deira. You'll find international pieces of jewelry in a variety of themes, from Italian to Indian and much more. Shopping malls in Dubai also offer great jewelry shopping, though you can expect to pay mall prices, as well. The Sharajah Blue Souk is a well-kept local secret; you can find more incredible jewelry there.
Dubai Golfing
If you might not expect to find fairways in the heart of the desert, Dubai has developed even more incredible marvels. You'll find 2 championship golf courses in the area. The Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club and the Emirates Golf Club both offer great golfing in the warm sunshine. The Emirates Golf Club is the home of the European PGA Desert Classic and was the first grass golf course in the Middle East.
Dubai Desert
If the opulence and beauty of Dubai may captivate you, the desert lies just outside the protective circle of city buildings. You'll find austere beauty in the shifting sands, as well as numerous ways to enjoy the desert in Dubai. Take a Bedouin camp, complete with traditional camels. Take a 4-wheeler into the dunes and enjoy the freedom and feel of wind on your face. Even falconry is available for the adventurous traveler.
