For a unique experience, take a hot air balloon ride over the Dubai desert or try sandboarding on the dunes. To maximize your fun, consider getting a Dubai Pass, which offers discounted access to over 30 attractions and activities in the city. Don't forget to sample some of Dubai's delicious local cuisine, including shawarma, falafel, and camel meat.

If you want to take a side trip, consider visiting Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, which is located just 1.5 hours away from Dubai. Some of the top attractions in Abu Dhabi include the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. Finally, be sure to pack sunscreen and comfortable shoes, as the weather in Dubai can get quite hot during the day.
