Top 5 Activities to Do in Dubai

When we think of Dubai, the first thing that comes to mind is luxury. The most famous city in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has become a true tourist destination. Its rise isn't as recent as you might think. But it was from the second half of the 20th century that Dubai took on a whole new dimension. Several tourism projects flourished in record time to allow Dubai to become a tourist paradise with worldwide influence. We can notably mention the Burj Al Arab hotel, considered a seven-star hotel by many journalists given its prestige. Of course, it's in Dubai that you'll find the world's tallest tower, namely the Burj Khalifa, inaugurated in 2008. It reaches 828 meters in height, which is more than 2.5 Eiffel Towers, nothing less!

Description: This activity is essential when visiting Dubai. It's probably one of the only places in the world that offers this type of activities at a very attractive price. For 4 hours (or 7 hours depending on the package you choose), you'll be taken to the red sand desert to do several activities. Among the proposed activities, you can go dune rallying in the desert, which offers an exceptional setting for this kind of activities. Here, sand acts as snow, and, like in the mountains, you can snowboard. However, in Dubai, it's called sandboarding (sand means sand in English). After good physical exercise, you can relax a bit by taking a camel ride in the middle of the desert. At the end, refreshments will be offered with local products like Arabic tea or coffee with dates.
