Dubai is an exciting year round destination that offers
unlimited opportunities for rest and recreation, be it a
walk through a lush green family park, an adventurous
day in the waters of the Arabian Gulf, or a pampering
session at one of the many health spas.
Beaches:
Some of Dubai's beaches are attached to private hotels,
where, for a small fee, you can spend the day on the
sand and in the waters of the Arabian Gulf. Other
beaches and waterfronts - the Corniche and the Creek -
are free for public access, and feature a range of water
sports offered by several operators.
Desert safaris:
One of Dubai's most popular tourist attractions is the
desert safari: a unique experience that combines an
adventurous 4WD car ride over sand dunes with camels,
belly dancers, henna designers, falconers, and a
barbecue dinner by starlight. Other attractions include
sand skiing, sand boarding, sand karting and 4WD desert
driving
Fishing:
The warmth and shelter of the Gulf attract a large
variety of fish, and several local companies provide
full and half day trips to the best fishing waters about
12 kms offshore from the mainland.
Golf:
Dubai has the unique distinction of being the only
golfing centre in the world to host major international
tournaments on both the European and Asian PGA circuits.
Visiting golfers can choose from various clubs and
courses, each of championship quality and presenting a
different type of challenge.
Treatments and therapies:
Dubai is home to an extraordinary number of spas and
wellness clinics, ranging from internationally renowned
brands to ancient Chinese and Indian holistic treatments |
