Dubai is one of the world's most attractive and rapidly developing leisure destinations. An intriguing land that combines old-world souks and modern shopping malls, rolling sand dunes , remote Bedouin villages and an array of five-star hotels, Dubai defies easy definition.

now, aside from shopping, malling, bar hopping... can u suggest things to do or places to go in Dubai. Soon, i'll be there for a visit.

thanks!!!

After living there for 10 years I can say it is good but get yourself out of there and visit Oman, Hatta Fort and Abu Dhabi. You're kidding yourself.

Don't forget to visit the labor camps, and bring some food for the poor people there. Otherwise you won't have seen Dubai.

for exciting adventure parks, try Dubai's Wonderland to Wild Wadi, from Magic Planet to the soon to be completed Snow Dome.

I loorrveee Wild Wadiii and Ski Dubaiii! Go to the Mall of the Emirates, a bloody huge mall, a woman's fantasy, well some anyway. As far as the skiing goes, its good, you can snowboard also, there is about 4 slopes, about 400 metres long, and steep. You should try it, its easy to get up the hill. Its just the tumbling down that's fun. Its like playing bowling with humans. Lol.

Go to desert safari, they have awesome belly dancing show and henna tattooing after the safari. Since it's summer, frolic in the pristine white sand of Jumeirah beach or if you cannot take the scorching heat anymore, go to The Mall of the Emirates, they have the famous Dubai Ski. You can ski, stroll or just enjoy the coolness of snow right inside the mall. Or you may also try the fun rides in Wild Wadi & have loads of fun swimming in the pool. The list goes on and on.. Enjoy!

The beaches are pretty awesome. Theres this place called "The walk" which is an amazing set of restaurants/shops by the beach. I also went to the old souk area which has interesting art galleries and was quite the contrast, I wish I had gone on a boat ride. Hope you have fun.

visit the jumairah beach, the Gold Souq in Sharjah, but don't forget to visit the world's largest mall the dubai mall which has a largest aquarium in the world and their biggest skating rink... since the heat is coming, have some fun in Wild Wadi Theme Park... that's the best... have picture taking at best landmarks in dubai...
