1. Palm Jumeirah

If you're stumped when deciding what to see in Dubai, then you should surely visit Palm Jumeirah because it's unlike anything else you've ever seen before. Astoundingly, Palm Jumeirah is a man-made island that, when viewed from above, looks like a palm tree.

There are many high-class hotels on the island so it might just be the perfect place for you to stay during your trip. To make your trip even better, you could get a luxury yacht to party on.

2. Dubai Museum

Dubai has such a rich history and the way it has developed over the years is extremely fascinating. You can learn all about it and more at the Dubai Museum in the Al Fahidi Fort, one of the oldest buildings in the city.

You can get all the postcards you need and more from the gift shop or nearby market center.

3. The Dubai Mall

The Dubai Mall is directly beside the Burj Khalifa, which is the world's tallest building. If you're a shopaholic then going to the Dubai Mall might make you think that you've died and gone to heaven because it has over 1,200 shops.

You are just as likely to spend all your money there as well as all your time, but it's definitely worth it.

4. The Arabian Desert

One of the best things to do in Dubai is to go on a desert safari where you can ride camels, get beautiful henna art, and more. It is truly a unique experience and is one of the main attractions of Dubai even before it was a city known for its bustling nightlife and shopping malls.

The curving dunes are a majestic sight and are extremely fun to go sandboarding or quad biking on.

5. Kite Beach

After you've had your fill of the mesmerizing but hot desert, you can cool off at Dubai's Kite Beach. You'll feel your stress melt away as you spread out in the sun and sip on a delicious smoothie from one of the nearby cafes.

If you're still asking yourself about what to do in Dubai then you should know that this beach gets its name by being a popular kiteboarding spot. You'll often see people flying across the water like a flock of birds and you'll want to join in the fun. If you prefer to keep your feet mostly on the ground, you can play volleyball instead.
