Recommendations

If you have more time, consider visiting the Dubai Museum to learn about the city's rich history or the Dubai Mall's outdoor fountain show that's a sight to behold. A side trip to the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque or the Ferrari World Theme Park is also worth considering. To maximize your fun, consider purchasing a Dubai City Pass that offers discounts on attractions and activities. Lastly, do not forget to pack sunscreen, comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing as Dubai can get really hot in June.
