Things to do in Dubai

Dubai is a metropolis in the UAE, rising from the desert along the Persian Gulf. Once a small port, it has transformed into a ultra-modern city. Dubai weather is hot and dry, with cooler months from November to April for desert safaris, rooftop dining, and beach days. Shopping is a major draw—Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world right next to the towering Burj Khalifa, offers endless retail and entertainment. The Palm Jumeirah stretches into the sea, home to luxurious resorts and beach clubs. For sweet lovers, Dubai chocolate is a must-try and makes a great souvenir too. From sandy adventures to sky-high views and world-class shopping, Dubai never stops dazzling.

Reviews: Dubai Desert Safari Day Tour [Popular Desert Camp + Sunset + Camel Ride + Performances + Dinner]
Guest User2026-02-15
The driver, a young Arab man, picked us up at the hotel promptly at 2:30 PM in a 7-seater SUV. Our family of three was picked up along the way, along with two other foreigners. My 1.75-meter-tall son had to stretch his legs diagonally in the last row. Thankfully, the drive only took about 50 minutes. At the rest areas and campsites, many enthusiastic Arabs tried to sell paid services. If you don't want something, be sure to say "NO" immediately. Don't be shy and end up being tricked into buying something. We booked a group tour for a little over 500 RMB per person. Overall, the activity was quite interesting, adding a new dimension to the Dubai desert adventure. The activity ended around 8:30 PM, and the vehicle returned to the hotel. We arrived around 9 PM, showered, and went to bed. The Ctrip customer service provided continuous WeChat support throughout the trip – a big thumbs up! 👍

Jack Sparrow Ship – Dubai Our cruise experience on the Jack Sparrow ship was absolutely fantastic! We went on the night of a full blood moon eclipse, which made it feel extra magical. The atmosphere was lively, the dancing and entertainment were great fun, and we even got involved ourselves. The food was a bit 50/50, but honestly, the entertainment and overall vibe more than made up for it. It was such a memorable evening, and I’d definitely do it again.

Our desert safari in Dubai was absolutely unforgettable! From the pickup to the final moments in the camp, everything was perfectly arranged. Huge thanks to our driver Malik, very kind, professional, and highly skilled. He made sure we were safe, comfortable, and had an unforgettable time. If you book this safari, ask for Malik, you won’t regret it!

We were picked up from the hotel by our friendly guide. The vehicle was a modern minibus. Communication regarding the pickup went smoothly. It was our first time in Dubai. For us, it was ideal to see the main sights of Dubai with short stops of 10-15 minutes. We usually stopped at particularly good vantage points. Our guide also took considerably more time than planned. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
