Top Things to See and Do in Dubai Tour Package

 1. Hit the mall

Dubai malls are unlike any other malls in the world. The city has over 65 malls, with more on the way. Malls are popular among the locals! There's a lot to see and do between the Dubai Mall and the Mall of the Emirates. Luxury shopping, nightly fountain shows, an aquarium inside the Dubai Mall (complete with a 270-degree underwater tunnel you can walk through), and even indoor skiing at the Mall of the Emirates are available (the Mall of the Emirates also has over 650 stores and 100 restaurants). You can also go to the Ibn Battuta Mall, the world's largest themed mall. It has a Moroccan theme and is named after the explorer of the same name (it has over 270 stores and 50 restaurants too). Dress appropriately and avoid wearing tank tops, shorts, or mini-skirts. Popular Dubai Tour Packages.

2. Wander the Marina

The marina area is surrounded by tall buildings and features a lovely scenic boardwalk. There are a lot of fancy boats, beautiful condos, and bars and restaurants with views of the harbour here. Pier 7, which has seven floors of restaurants and bars on the water, is a must-see. Asia Asia, with its gaudy Asian theme, appealed to me.

3. Visit the Grand Mosque

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, located in nearby Abu Dhabi, is well worth a half-day visit. The mosque and its surrounding gardens cover more than 30 acres and were built between 1996 and 2007. The mosque and its massive square are almost entirely white, lending it a majestic appearance. Dubai is a 90-minute drive away (about 290 AED each way in a taxi or 25 AED on the bus). Because it is a place of worship, you should dress appropriately (they have cover-up items available for anyone without suitable attire). Every day during Eid, up to 41,000 people visit the mosque. There is no admission fee.

4. Explore Old Dubai

This is Dubai as it once was. Markets (including the famous gold market) dot the landscape, small shops line the streets, and the area is a veritable maze of alleyways. Take a boat across Dubai Creek to Deira (you can ride an abra, a traditional wooden boat) and wander aimlessly through the streets, eat at some of the traditional restaurants, explore the art district, and experience Dubai away from the glitz of the malls and high-rises. Don't miss the Dubai Frame (a landmark with the best views of the city), the gold market (which has up to 10 tonnes of gold on hand at all times), and the spice souk (a large spice market you can browse).

5. Tour the Jumeirah Mosque

This beautiful mosque, which opened in 1979, is one of only two in the city that you can actually visit. It is built in the Fatimid style and consists of one large room. A guided tour is available every day at 10 a.m. (except for Fridays). It costs 35 AED and includes a delicious breakfast spread. It's an interesting tour if you don't know much about Islam or its role in the UAE.

6. Go deep-sea fishing

If you want to try your hand at deep-sea fishing, you can easily book a spot on a boat and head out to sea. Tour operators cater to people of all ages and levels of experience, and the majority of packages include lunch. Prices will vary depending on the type of vessel you book and how far in advance you book it.

7. Relax at Jumeirah Beach

This white-sand beach is ideal for sunbathing and strolling along the boardwalk. There are many shops to visit along the coast just south of the city's historic district, and there is even an outdoor movie theatre. Not only is this a great place to visit, but it's also a great place to stay because there's so much to do. There are playgrounds for children as well as BBQ areas. It's great for picnics, but it gets very crowded on weekends, so try to go during the week to avoid the crowds.

8. Wander the Palm Islands

A large shopping walkway, the Atlantis resort, Aquaventure waterpark, and a slew of upscale restaurants, bars, and clubs can all be found on this famous man-made palm tree-shaped island. During the day, it's lovely to walk around and explore (at night, it's pretty boring!).

9. Visit the Souk Madinat Jumeirah

This souk (market) is housed in a modern building that appears to be something out of Aladdin, but it actually houses some incredible restaurants. This complex also has a lovely inner courtyard pond. If you're a foodie, come here to splurge! Don't miss Al Makan for traditional local fare, Anar for Persian fare, and The Noodle House for delectable Asian fare.

10. Binge at brunch

Brunch is a popular meal for both locals and expats. Everyone gathers every Friday for a midday buffet of unlimited drinks and food. As the day progresses, it frequently devolves into debauchery worthy of Nero. Brunch, on the other hand, is not cheap, costing up to 700 AED. Inquire with your hotel/hostel staff about the cheapest brunch spots. Typically, you can find some for less than 300 AED.
