Places to visit in Dubai?

I could recommend Wild Wadi, it is a theme park of water rides, definitely the kids would enjoy. Emirates mall is also nice to see but I would prefer to go to the souqs, visit the Dubai Museum in Bur Dubai, get on board the boat that cross the creek that divides Bur dubai and deira. Also the dinner on the Dhow Boat is wonderful experience.

That is nice. I have never been to Dubai, so I don't know too much, but if you have the chance, you can take a look at the Burj Al Arab Hotel(or how must be spelled). And if you have money, then spend a night there, I heard it is something which we cannot imagine. Wish you have a great time there and please inform me when you will get back, how it was. I am very curious what people can visit there.

I have seen beautiful photos of Dubai, high-rise buldings. Very impressive. I have not been there yet, and I am certainly looking forward to have the opportunity to visit. Well, have a nice trip. I am sure you will be very impressed with the city.

I've been to Dubai personally and all I can say is it's a city with a mind of its own. Staying in expensive hotels is not a must since there's so many places to go, the sole purpose of the hotel is for a place to sleep. Here's a list of things you can do: 1. visit Dubai Mall, the largest in the world, it has so many attractions and it is right beside Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain 2. Wild Wadi or Atlantis- both are waterparks but i'd recommend wild wadi since it's a lot cheaper. But if you have much to shell out, Atlantis is good too 3. Ibn Battuta Mall- it's a themed mall with nice ambiance 4. Mall of the Emirates- it has a skiing area inside complete with rides 5. Dubai Aquarium- it's one of the largest in the world, it is located inside Dubai Mall 6. Palm Jumeirah- plenty of beach resorts here Also, i would suggest using the Metro Rail when traveling. It's much fun than riding a cab. Good luck on you trip!
