Dubai is a very interesting and cosmopolitan city, offering a wide range of activities and experiences for its expatriate residents. Its mix of modernity and tradition, together with its professional opportunities, have made Dubai an attractive destination not only for tourists, but also for those seeking a new life abroad.

‍

What to do in Dubai?

Desert excursion

‍

Experience an unforgettable desert adventure with a safari that will take you through the golden dunes of Dubai. Desert safaris include camel rides, a traditional form of transportation in the region, and the opportunity to try sandboarding, an activity similar to snowboarding but on sand. At nightfall, enjoy a dinner under the stars at a Bedouin camp, where you can taste typical dishes of the local gastronomy, accompanied by belly dancing shows and traditional music.

‍

Weekend brunch

‍

Dubai is also famous for its weekend brunches, a dining experience that combines delicious dishes with a festive atmosphere. The city's top luxury hotels offer impressive brunches with a variety of culinary options ranging from fresh seafood to gourmet desserts, all accompanied, unsurprisingly, by spectacular views of the city.

‍

Water activities

‍

With a stunning coastline and year-round warm weather, Dubai is a paradise for lovers of water activities. You can choose adrenaline-releasing options such as jet skiing or flyboarding, where you'll be propelled into the air by jets of water. If you prefer something quieter, an experience not to be missed is scuba diving and paddle surfing.  

‍

Open-air cinema

‍

Have you ever imagined watching a movie under the stars? Open-air cinemas are very typical in Dubai, which usually have comfortable loungers, blankets and a variety of food and drinks to enjoy while watching your favorite movies. Some of the most popular venues include the Galleria Mall and the Reform Social & Grill, both of which host outdoor movie nights in their gardens.

‍

Explore the local culture

‍

Immerse yourself in the interesting history and culture of Dubai by visiting its museums and historic neighborhoods. The Dubai Museum, located in the Al Fahidi Fort, offers a glimpse into the city's transformation from a small fishing village to a global metropolis. The Al Fahidi Historic District is another must-see, with its narrow streets and traditional buildings housing art galleries, museums and cafes. And don't forget to explore the traditional souks, where you can buy spices, textiles and jewelry, and experience what local life is like.
