Dubai Must Do and See

There are so many things to do in Dubai and lots of places to visit but as a traveller I always want to see what sets the place apart from other cities in the world.  I go for culture and people. In my more than two months stay, here are the places I visited and things I did to experience the life in Dubai.

1. Ride the Metro and RTA bus.
2. Buy at Fish Market at Al Shindagha
3. Quick trip to Madinat Jumeirah Souk
4. Quick trip to one of the Sheikh's palaces in Oud Metha (you can't go near the Palace though because it is prohibited)
5. Quick trip to Gold Souk in Deira
6. Watch the dancing fountain at Souk al Bahar
7. Check out Bastakia - a Heritage Village
8. Visit Al Karama and Satwa
9. Walk in the beach shores - Al Mamzar
10. Dine at Dubai Marina
11. Check out Burl Al Arab and Burj Khalifa (tallest building on the world)
12. Go to the malls (Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates, Lamcy Plaza, etc)
13. Shop at Al Safa Park Flea Market

Grab a copy of Dubai Time Out magazine,  a quick guide on the best restaurants, hotels and sport activities you can do in this emirate.

I missed out on Desert Safari because it was almost summertime when I got to Dubai.

Here are some of my photos. I will be posting more tomorrow.

Mall of Emirates (sorry, pic is out of focus)

That's the dancing fountain! (bad hair day for me)
