Jumeirah Public Beach is a must-see destination for visitors to Dubai, offering soft white sand beaches and views of the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel against a backdrop of the pristine Persian Gulf.

Wild Wadi

Located at the foot of the Burj Al Arab, the Wild Wadi Waterpark is a collection of 30 water rides and play areas designed for all ages. The entire park is modeled after Juha, a character often referenced in Arabian folklore and featured predominately among the park.

Thrill-seekers can slide down Tantrum Alley or the Burj Surj, while those looking for a little more relaxation can glide along the lazy river. There are also multiple moderate slide options, as well as a water park just for the kiddos and the Wipeout and Riptide, a simulated surfing ride that's one of only four of its kind in the world.

The Dubai Mall

Located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai is The Dubai Mall, the most-visited retail and entertainment destination, which welcomes more than 80 million visitors annually.

The Dubai Mall has over 1,300 retail outlets, including two anchor department stores – Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s – and over 200 food and beverage outlets.

Dubai Golf Club

Emirates Golf Club was the first golf course in the region and with 32 years of experience it is the most established in the Middle East.

Through its premier facilities, mix of casual and fine-dining restaurants, and swimming, fitness and tennis facilities, it is an all-encompassing leisure hub.

Miracle Garden

The Dubai Miracle Garden is certainly aptly named considering that - like pretty much everything in this Middle Eastern destination - it was built on desert land. Billing itself as the world's largest natural flower garden, the 72,000-square-meter attraction has more than 60 million flowers on display.

Located in Dubailand near the Arabian Ranches, it opened on Valentine's Day in 2013 and now attracts up to 1.5 million visitors a year.

Located just off the Jumeirah neighbourhood, you’ll find high-quality equipment available to rent along the sand.

Marina Walk

Visitors can mingle, shop and dine along the 7km palm tree-lined path at Dubai Marina Walk, bordering the emerald-hued waterway. This picturesque waterfront attraction is a sight to behold – with yachts bobbing up and down on the water and the bright lights of the city skyline sparkling above at night.

City Walk

Take a stroll into City Walk, one of Dubai’s most exciting urban precincts. Expect chic shops, al fresco restaurants, beautifully designed outdoor spaces and even a swish boutique hotel in the form of La Ville Hotel and Suites.

This lifestyle destination artfully combines shopping with entertainment, including stand-outs such as Green Planet, Mattel Play! Town, a cinema and a year-round calendar of events.
