Theme Parks
A popular theme park in Dubai with rides and attractions for everybody. It has a Hollywood style theme and many of the rides are based on popular movies. Super fun and I'd definitely recommend!
Motiongate Dubai
Ferrari World is not based in Dubai, however it is based in Abu Dhabi (about an hour and 20 minute drive from Dubai), but it is a MUST-VISIT! It's full of record breaking rides including the fastest rollercoaster in the world (we literally had to wea...
Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi
Also not based in Dubai, but it is based in Abu Dhabi (about an hour and 20 minute drive from Dubai), Warner Bros World is an indoor theme park with so many rides and attractions for everybody, I had a lot of fun here!
Warner Bros. World, Abu Dhabi
Who doesn't love a waterpark?! There's so much fun to be had at Yas Waterworld, would definitely recommend! (Not based in Dubai, but in Abu Dhabi - about an hour and 20 minute drive from Dubai)
Yas Waterworld, Abu Dhabi
Another record breaker - the biggest waterpark in the world! So much fun, so many rides, this requires a full day! You can't go to Dubai and not experience this waterpark!
Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark
Desert Activities
*Usually comes as part of desert safari experience* You can't go to Dubai and not get on the quad bikes in the desert! Such a fun experience and definitely a must-do!
Quad Biking
*Usually comes as part of desert safari experience* Super fun experience, but make sure you hold on tight, it's really bumpy and you get thrown around the car!
Dune Bashing
*Usually comes as part of desert safari experience* This is an iconic activity in the desert and it's a really unique way to experience the traditional culture and landscapes of Dubai. I loved it!
Dubai Camel Rides
Quad biking, dune bashing, camel riding, henna tattoos and end the evening with a BBQ dinner while enjoying a fire show, a belly dancing show and shisha!
Desert Safari Dubai
City Activities
Taking in the beautiful views of Dubai and enjoying the hot weather on a yacht was a dream! Definitely a must-do!
Dubai Marina Yacht Tour
You can't really appreciate how tall the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world!) is until you see it in person! Probably Dubai's most known landmark and rightfully so! You can also get tickets to go to the top!
Burj Khalifa
Dubai is known for holding records, this is another one - the biggest mall in the world. If you're looking for a day at the mall, then this is the place to be. It literally felt like this mall was just going on forever, I definitely was nowhere near ...
Dubai Mall
Located inside the mall, although you will have to get tickets to visit the aquarium. You get to see all sorts of sea animals, it's really beautiful and mesmerising. If you have time, I would definitely recommend!
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
The Dubai Fountain show takes place outside Dubai Mall, under the Burj Khalifa and is an absolute must for any visit to Dubai. There is usually one show during the day - at 1:30pm - and then shows every 30 minutes from 6pm onwards.
Burj Khalifa Light Show & Fountain
Probably the coolest futuristic exhibitions I've ever seen! Museum of The Future really immerses you in the most innovative technologies and ideas. A must-do!
Museum of The Future
I actually didn't get the time to experience the jet skis, but I hear it's so fun and a must-do activity in Dubai. Since I am going to Dubai again soon, I will definitely make sure to give them a go!
