What To Do in Dubai?

Millions of tourists travel to Dubai each year, making the city among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Whether you want to indulge in high-end experiences or extreme sports or prefer something more kid-friendly or buzzing nightlife, Dubai will never disappoint. Dubai has preserved its cultural heritage despite its modernity, and the city is home to a number of museums that highlight the history and culture of Dubai. It also has some of the most famous landmarks on the planet, so we have compiled a list of activities you may participate in to make the most of your Dubai visa from France.

1. Take a Helicopter flight over the city
Forget New York City, Dubai now has the world's most magnificent skyline. While waterfront vistas are spectacular, there is no better perspective than a bird's-eye view. This once-in-a-lifetime helicopter ride will take you over breathtaking sights, including the Palm Jumeirah islands, the Burj Al Arab hotel, and the Ras al Khor wetlands. Imagine yourself in a live satellite image of the Earth, hovering above the World Islands in the Persian Gulf and taking in the man-made archipelago that resembles the seven continents.

2. Bring out the Mowgli in you at Aventura Parks
You may swing from treetop to treetop at Aventura Parks, the largest zipline park in the city, located in Mushrif Park and spans 35,000 square metres of gorgeous Ghaf tree forest. There are 85 obstacles to choose from at the park, including ziplines, high ropes courses, and giant swings, making it suitable for all skill levels and interests. The most intense 25-metre Tarzan jump and an aerial surfboard are only two things this family-friendly destination offers visitors of all ages, from young toddlers to daredevils.

3. Go Scuba Diving indoors at Deep Dive Dubai
At a depth of 60 metres, Deep Dive Dubai is the deepest pool in the world. It provides divers with a unique diving experience in a fantastic underwater setting resembling a sunken metropolis. First-timers can learn scuba diving or freediving in this safe environment with waters filtered with sophistication and kept at 30 degrees Celsius. This indoor pool promotes safety by providing advanced and competent scuba instructors for diving courses and workshops. A compression chamber is available to heal divers in the event of a mishap, in addition to 56 underwater cameras for monitoring. So, certified divers, what are you waiting for? Without the dangers of diving in choppy or open waters, it's the ideal spot to refine your techniques and advance your skills.

4. Enjoy a Gourmet Meal at Dinner In The Sky
While 50 metres in the air, indulge in a wonderful dinner! Dinner in the Sky, as its name suggests, is one of the world's most unusual dining occasions. That should be included on your bucket list, provided no one in your group suffers from acrophobia. Le Méridien and The Westin Mina Seyahi Marina have created lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea menus for you. As a main course, select from Oriental Beef, Tortellini Pasta, King Fish, or Corn Fed Chicken. Dessert options include chocolate cake, fruit salad, and ice cream.

5. Enter New Worlds at VR Park
The VR Park at Dubai Mall is the first fully immersive VR experience in the Middle East and is the biggest in the world. The "Challenge Reality" concept focuses on more than 25 attractions, including single-player and multiplayer activities. Participate in a virtual reality heist, walk down the Burj Khalifa's walls, travel on a spacecraft, and so much more! Experience the thrill of excitement as you virtually fly through the air on magic bikes, flying chairs, or while paragliding over the Middle East.

6. Meet Nocturnal Animals at The Green Planet
The Green Planet is a pleasantly engaging stroll through nature and a genuinely magical biodome with an indoor tropical rainforest and over 3,000 plants and animals. Also, it is home to the biggest artificially created tree that supports life that is found indoors, which is undoubtedly worth a shot or two. Go when the nocturnal animals are just beginning to awaken from their sleep toward the end of the day for more action.

7. Spend the Day at LEGOLAND Dubai
At Legoland, fantasy comes to life thanks to the park's 60 interactive attractions, including water slides, wandering characters, eating options, and more than 15,000 Lego sculptures. While the park is geared for kids between 2 and 12, teenagers and parents will also have a blast there. By constructing a raft to float down the lazy river, families may put their cooperation and imagination to the test. A staggering variety of building supplies can be found in the store, so browse everything before leaving.

Where To stay in Dubai?

Dubai is now known for its luxury, comfort, and unique experiences. There are high-end restaurants, first-rate services, and futuristic-looking hotels that can meet any need. Below is a list of some of Dubai's best hotels. But, you are always free to select a different alternative or request a recommendation for a reputable hotel in Dubai from the Arabiers staff handling you.

Four Seasons Resort Dubai

1. Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
There aren't many places that can provide a true beach and city getaway, but this opulent hotel on Jumeirah's pristine white coastline feels gently integrated into and detached from Dubai. The hotel mostly leans toward the quiet side of Middle Eastern extravagance, with marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and gold-leaf ceilings punctuated with soothing, earthy tones drawn from the Arabian Gulf and desert. The resort offers anti-ageing treatments from Switzerland, and the food is mostly fresh, ranging from detox salads at vegetarian restaurant Folia to yellowtail ceviche at Sea Fu. The Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa stand tall and are best seen from the Mercury Lounge rooftop, where Arabian archways frame the glittering metropolis. Jumeirah is the nearest beach to Downtown, and The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach has a classic charm in a city where new hotels appear out of thin air. With its beautifully carved archways and sparkling marble interiors, it looks like it has been around for a century rather than just since 2014. It is modelled after the traditional wind towers of the region. The DIFC and Downtown Dubai are within a 10-minute drive of the Four Seasons Resort's ideal location on Jumeirah Beach. Two lagoon-style swimming pools and a secluded length of the beach with covered sun loungers may be found on the grounds' vast expanse. The grandeur is further enhanced by the guest rooms' high ceilings, balconies, or patios with views of the Arabian Sea or the shimmering Dubai skyline.

Bulgari Resort Dubai

2. Bulgari Resort Dubai
After Milan, Bali, London, and Beijing, Bulgari Resort Dubai is the brand's fifth hotel and resort. It was created by Italian architect Antonio Citterio and designer Patricia Viel to the same high standards as the company's jewellery. A stay here combines modest Italian minimalism with heightened richness, thanks to the low-key luxury rooms decked out in nearly entirely Italian furniture. The unique island position offers exhilarating views of the city skyline and advantages for the hotel brand and Dubai, thanks to its own marina and yacht club. The 25-metre indoor pool, which has exhilarating views of the ocean and the city and is surrounded by a Vitality Pool with actual gold and sparkling green mosaic tiles, is the jewel in the crown.

Jumeirah Mina A'Salam

3. Jumeirah Mina A'Salam
This hotel is more stylish and understated than most of its neighbours and is a favourite among Dubai insiders. The name behind many of Dubai's most well-known restaurants and houses is Jumeirah, a major player in the city's scene. One of the nine Jumeirah hotels is Mina A'Salam, which is part of the 40-hectare project intended to resemble a traditional Arabian hub and is seamlessly incorporated into the entrance to the enormous Madinat Jumeirah souk, where canals connect bougainvillaea frame the white walls and everything. The hotel also contains Dar Al Masyaf, a collection of summer residences favoured by Hollywood celebrities. Its private beach, one of the best in the city, has hosted numerous opening parties for the Dubai International Film Festival.

The Ritz Carlton Dubai International Financial Centre

4. The Ritz Carlton Dubai International Financial Centre
This Art Deco-inspired hotel is a favourite among business visitors thanks to its more than 28,000 square feet of event space, one of the largest ballrooms in the city, and its convenient location in the heart of the financial district. With high-speed internet, free shoe shines, and town cars available upon request, contemporary guest rooms provide plenty of space to unwind. Upgrade to a Club Level suite for access to the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge, which offers all-day refreshments and a specialised business concierge. Following a long day of meetings, unwind with a workout in the well-equipped 24-hour fitness facility, a luxurious massage, or a few laps in the rooftop pool, which is heated or chilled, depending on the season. End the day with a supper of mussels and steak at Café Belge or single malt scotch at Flair 5 Lounge.

XVA Art Hotel

5. Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
Bid farewell to minimalism at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the pinnacle of Arabian splendour, with walls lined with 21,500 square feet of 24-karat gold leaf and a ceiling covered with 21,000 Swarovski crystals. This sail-shaped landmark off the coast of Dubai was built in 1999 and is recognized as the first seven-star hotel in the world. The all-suite getaway has long been a favourite among celebrities and dignitaries because of its fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royce auto-mobiles and ask-for-anything service. With the recent addition of the Terrace and the Michelin-starred restaurant Al Muntaha, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah's star power shows no signs of abating. Exclusive cabanas, an adults-only infinity pool, and a stylish Mediterranean restaurant with a water view are all features of the 100,000-square-foot beach club.
