Pack your bags for Dubai! Sun-kissed beaches and water parks, towering skyscrapers and tiny huts, ancient souks and world-class malls, dhows and yachts, shisha cafés and glitzy clubs - Dubai has them all! But for the most exciting family adventure of all, delve into Dubai's theme parks. Get wet and wild at the Wild Wadi Waterpark and be sprayed, swished and swept away by fantastic aquatic rides. If the weather gets too hot, cool off at Ski Dubai - whoosh down the world's first indoor black run, build snowmen or just frolic in the snow. But that's not all. You'll want to make your way to Al Nasr LeisureLand and Dreamland Aqua Park too! So come on, chop-chop, start booking and pack for your bags for a desert adventure unlike any other!
Octopus Recommends
My favourite time to visit Dubaiis April, the summer crowds and heat are yet to arrive but the city is full of the excitement of Spring.
For me Dubaiis all about eating, walking, seeing amazing sites and then eating some more. Once you have ticked off the must-sees (grab a guided tour, you will learn more and avoid the long queues) take some time to walk around Dubaiand discover some of the smaller streets and piazzas.
Campo de' Fiori is one of my favorite squares, it has an early morning flower and fruit market and lovely little cafes overlooking the action. The pizza shop at the southern end sells by the slice and is worth the wait!
If you have time I would also recommend a day trip from Dubaito the ancient city of Pompeii. It's a long day but truly worth it.
