SightSeeing........... (put on yur explorer shoes :-) there’s lots to do here!!!)
1)ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IT IS WHEN YUR HERE, COZ DUBAI HAS A HUGE BIG FUN CALENDAR OF EVENTS ALL YEAR ROUND!
2)DESERT SAFARI >> I think anyone n everyone should start with this! coz it starts at 4pm and ends at 10-11pm ! whether its hot or not, its a perfect way to start discovering dubai! its so much fun! and find the right travel guys to make sure yu enjoy the the most!
some I recommend are: ALPHA TOURS DUBAI, ARABIAN ADVENTURES EMIRATES DUBAI, SNTTA SHARJAH, Net Tours, Dubai, to name a few.
3)CityTours >> Sightseeing within the city centre is split mainly between the Deira and Bur Dubai flanks of Dubai Creek.(waterside)
Deira, on the right bank of the waterway, is the business and commercial heart of the city and is also home to the best shopping. Highlights include the myriad souks, including the Spice Souk, Deira Old Souk and Dubai Covered Souk.
Deira is also the most atmospheric part of Dubai for a spot of aimless wandering, with a real sense of manic activity and rambling streets that are in sharp contrast to the order and calm of much of the city.
Meanwhile, historic Bur Dubai has less of a bustling atmosphere and is home to a number of tourist attractions, including the Dubai Museum, Grand Mosque and Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum’s House. Also most of the shopping outlets are in plenty here. Indian businesses house in Bur Dubai, from SHEETAL FASHION HOUSE to MEENA JEWELLERS to INDIAN FOOD EATOUTS to INDIAN GROCERIES!!!!
4)Dubai Creek itself is also something of an attraction, whether visitors choose to take the traditional dhow cruises along its length or just to stroll along its banks on the promenade on the Bur Dubai side. From here, there are good views back towards the ultra-modern skyline on the other flank of the Creek.
