The emirate of Dubai is a haven for all year round tourism, which offers a wealth of exhilarating activities and trips as well as relaxing spa breaks and unusual excursions.

A holiday or city break in Dubai can include everything from exciting city tours and desert adventures by Camel or 4x4 quad bike to relaxing massage treatments and souk shopping trips at local markets. Although it may prove difficult to leave the poolside of your luxurious hotel resort, especially if you are staying in hotels such as Atlantis, The Palm or the new Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, getting out and seeing the other wonders of Dubai is highly recommended.
 

It’s no understatement to say that Dubai offers something for everyone and Destinology can happily advise and book any adventures that take your fancy while holidaying in Dubai. Below are just some of the tantalising tours and attractions that you can experience in Dubai:


City Tour

Book onto a private or shared city tour that allows you to see the main majestic sights of Dubai in as little as 4 hours. Each tour differs slightly but highlights can include the Sumerian Mosque, Sheikh Maktoum Palace, Dubai Museum and the Burj Al Arab hotel. The tours have guides who speak various languages and there are several amazing photo opportunities along the way.

 
Souk Shopping

Souk markets are bustling, charming, and the best place to find authentic bargains. Although, the impressive shopping malls in Dubai often grab all the attention, a trip to a souk market is a real treat. There are different types of souk, selling gold, spices, perfume and textiles where delightful gifts and souvenirs can be found in abundance. You can book an organised excursion to the Souk’s or do it alone, although the organised trips are recommended.


4X4 Dune Safari

Desert safaris are hugely popular and are suitable families, groups of friends or couples. Embark on a thrilling adventure across the desert of Dubai with several photo stops and a BBQ lunch/dinner in a luxury desert camp. You can ride solo on a quad bike or choose the comfort of a driven 4x4 jeep, either way this desert adventure will be an unforgettable safari experience.

 
Sand Skiing

One of the latest crazes in Dubai is Sand Skiing, which involves climbing a desert dune and then skiing down to the bottom. A polar opposite to snow skiing but just as much fun!
 

Helicopter Ride

An ariel view tour of the city, covering all of Dubai’s landmarks from high above. This is a popular excursion that allows you to see the highlights of the city without spending hours walking around the streets.

 
Yacht Cruise

Enjoy an exploration of the Dubai’s off-shore islands aboard a luxurious yacht, giving you a taste of the celebrity lifestyle. Cruises explore the World Islands and the Palm Jumeirah hotel area and some of the larger yachts can accommodate up to 18 people.

 
Spa Visit

Luxury spa’s are plentiful in Dubai and a romantic break wouldn’t be complete without a couples body massage or skin purifying facial. For a personalised bespoke treatment the LIME Spa at the Desert Palm hotel offers ‘Made to Measure’ body treatments and facials. The six exclusive treatment rooms feature the latest spa technologies and guests can also enjoy the steam rooms, sauna, ice room and therapeutic shower facilities.

Also, the Talise Spa at the Madinat Jumeirah offers treatments based on the arts of yoga and meditation, ensuring a unique and nutritional experience.
 

Golf

Despite a relatively new golfing destination, the courses in Dubai are now rated some of the best in the world. Golfers are expected to be blown away with the facilities and standards of the golf courses, especially the championship Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. Also, the Majlis golf course at the Emirates Golf club is the original home of the Dubai Desert Classic competition and the first grass course in the Middle East.
