It was love at first sight for us in Dubai. From the moment we left the airport, Dubai was one big wow. We posted about our fantastically fun camel-riding, belly-dancing, dune-jumping adventure in the desert. We’ve told you about the cultural heritage tour that took us beyond the glitz into the living heart of Old Dubai. I may have mentioned, more than once, what an incredible experience seeing the dancing fountains at the Burj Kalifa was. Now some tips, guides, things to do, places to stay and more on our Dubai travel round-up and blog page.

The problem with Dubai is, you need a month to see and do it all. We can’t say we’ve been there that long, but we’ve been there 3 times, each time as layovers en-route to Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai, Kathmandu and beyond. Each time we’ve had a blast. Each time we’ve done the same favourite things as well as added some experiences and tours. Here’s our round-up on things to do in Dubai to help you plan your Dubai trip.

We will most certainly be back to sample more, including the beaches and water parks and to experience more of the great quality accommodation, food and service that make Dubai such a stand-out destination. We’ll also take more tours, there are loads to take out of Dubai into surrounding areas.

Dubai is not, at all, our usual sort of destination, a lot of people stick their noses in the air and won’t even consider visiting Dubai. We were surprised how much we loved visiting, every time. Yes, I found the excess hard to take after leaving the tent villages of the earthquake victims in Kathmandu. It upset me. However, Dubai is what it is and everywhere in the world has something unique and fascinating to offer. This post relates to personal experience and opinion only, please double check facts for yourself as things change fast in Dubai.

This is a little tricky because much of it is personal taste. There are some hugely luxurious coastal resort hotels for holidaymakers but there are also thousands of options within the different areas of the city and on The Creek. It really depends on what you want to get out of your trip. For the ultimate Dubai experience, try looking at Atlantis the Palm or Burj al Arab on Jumeira Beach, you’ll need a fat wallet but it would be an experience never to forget. Did you know The Atlantis has water rides, shark encounters, a teen and kids club and more? This is a bucket list item to tick off, check it out at our link above.

We tend to go for apartment-style hotels for stopovers of a few days. They include kitchens and washing machines, that makes life easier. They are towards the more budget-friendly end.

Very nice and no one can deny it! It’s the greatest of the greatest! Nothing can compare! It’s very nice coming here, the feeling is always nice and chill, sometimes it can get crowded, but if you manage to come on office hours, you can find it more relax. Also you can think you’ll get lost, but with The Dubai Mall app you can see where all the stores are and even set directions with GPS inside the mall. Very nice indeed! Love it! The discovery Bit travel directory has an easy-to-navigate interface that allows travel enthusiasts to easily tour various interesting and popular tourist attractions and destinations. I was able to use the directory as a trip guide/planner to find popular tourist attractions near me.

Here is a cool video of how to effectively use the travel directory: https://youtu.be/pfejm8TzNCw
