Dubai is a city geared for tourists, and there's no shortage
of things to do and see while you're there. Here's a rundown of the
most popular.
BurJuman Centre - A massive shopping mall in the Bur
Dubai area. Along with a plenty of shops selling designer brands, you will find
a cinema complex and a leisure arcade here.
Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club - If you love
fishing, you can hire a 10m boat here for you and your friends to angle in
style.
Dubai Museum - Housed in Dubai's oldest
standing building, a former fort in Bastakia.
Heritage Village and Diving Village - An
enjoyable, interactive look at Dubai's past. Both are found on the Creek. The
diving village features displays on pearl diving, as well as scale models of
dhows and pearling boats. The heritage village recreates a Bedouin settlement,
complete with homes made from barasti (dried palm leaves tied together) and mud.
Nad Al Sheba Racecourse - This is home to the
Dubai World Cup, possibly the world's most famous horse race, and certainly the
one with the highest stakes. The club, to be found a short drive south-east of
Dubai, is surrounded by stables, and in the early morning during the winter
season you can watch the horses being trained.
Wild Wadi water park - A water park with 23
interconnected rides, to be found between the Burj al Arab and the Jumeirah
Beach Hotel Dubai. Brave souls should try the Jumeirah Sceirah (geddit?), a
speed slide where you reach heights of 33 metres before being hurtled downwards
again at speeds of up to 80km an hour.
