- Go to see Burj + the fountain show around that area. Best time to visit is post 6 PM - Museum of the future - The palm (manmade island - some super nice places for dining) - Desert Safari - Prolly the most Dubai thing to do is to rent a Yacht for an hour and enjoy the city views! Also preferably during eve / night when it’s all lit up - AYA universe - Dubai mall - Jumeirah beach. It’s a manmade beach so don’t have the same expectations you would otherwise from a coastal city. But if you’re v fond of beaches it’s a decent visit nevertheless - Stroll around Dubai Marina

Preferably do everything indoors by 6 PM and everything outdoors post that :P

- Burj + Fountain definitely must do : For the best viewing spot for the fountain - Head to the luxury section of Dubai Mall - 2nd Floor, get outdoor seating at L’eto - Have a nice cold brew or their famous Milk Cake Best viewing spot for Burj : Head to TimeOut Market - they have a great front view of the burj and a close up view of the fountains. - Museum of the Future is very interesting: make sure to purchase tickets at least 2 weeks before, it’s always sold out - Souq Al Madinat : Cluster of 5 hotels with a gondola boat ride, best to do after 5PM - great views of the Burj Al Arab - If you like water parks or haven’t been to one, I highly advise Atlantis Aquaventure, this way you’ll be able to check out Atlantis & The Palm - AYA Universe - The Walk - Jumeirah : for a great stroll on the beach and nice lunch options, Views of Dubai Eye & Bluewaters

If you like theme parks : IMG World has some great rides and is completely indoors If you are traveling with young children: check out OliOli - your child will thank you! Best Places to Eat: Laffa for some truly authentic shawarmas and Arabic food (not so great for the views, but the food is worth it!) Aroos Damascus on Sheikh Zayed Road for Arabic food with nice ambience Chocomelt & L’eto for their desserts %Arabica & Espresso Lab for their Coffees - a bit higher priced, but will leave a mark for how coffee is supposed to taste Do try AlBaik over your run of the mill fast food burger joints, better priced and better flavor.

Shopping: Electronics - Head to Meena Bazaar for any electronics, cheaper than India and cheaper than electronic stores Dates - Meena Bazaar once again, look for Majdool Dates, these are either from Saudi Arabia, Palestine or Jordan. Negotiate on the price like crazy. Dubai Outlet Mall: Tons of outlet stores with over 30-40% off. Dubai Outlet Village: Luxury outlet stores with 20-30% upwards off. Best for Michael Kors, Coach & Boss Gold - Gold Souq in Deira or Meena Jewelers / Siroya Jewelers in Bur Dubai Meena Bazaar. Perfumes - Ratans, Meena Bazaar

Anything specific comes to mind, ask away, there’s tons that this city has and a lot of hidden gems. Note: This is not AI content. I live in Dubai and have been in the UAE for > 35 years 😇.

Have you visited the Yas Marina curcuit in Abu Dhabi? If yes, does it require pre-booking?

The circuit is brilliant, if you plan on driving on the circuit, yes it needs pre-booking, if you don’t plan on driving and only want to see the circuit, head to Yas Central : https://maps.app.goo.gl/yuNG25… On the 1st floor they have a balcony you can see the North Grandstand from there and the circuit also.

Alsooo if you want, you can walk the entire track as well, they have TrainYas as well: https://www.yasmarinacircuit.c… This mostly happens in the evenings so it’ll be really good weather right now till May.
