10 Free Things to Do in Dubai

Dubai is one of the world's newest and most talked about travel playgrounds. The city's transformation from desert to major destination began just a few decades ago, yet Dubai now boasts the world's tallest building, the largest shopping mall, and some of the planet's most luxurious shopping opportunities. Entertainment here ranges from indoor snow skiing to camel racing. Many of these activities come with extravagant price tags. 

What follows is a list of ten free things to do in Dubai. Sprinkle your Dubai itinerary with these enjoyable freebies and make your visit more affordable.

Ascend Jebel Hafeet

Jebel Hafeet is a mountain that affords spectacular views of the region, and it can be ascended by foot or by vehicle at no cost.

Those seeking spectacular views in Dubai frequently take an elevator to the top of the area's highrises.  Burj Khalifa , the world's tallest building, rises 2,717 feet above the city. The cost of visiting its highest observation deck ranges from $35-$82 USD per adult, and long lines also could cost precious time.

If that seems a bit too expensive, Jebel Hafeet allows for a much more extensive view, as it is about 16 miles long and several miles across.  Hafeet Mountain Road  is the winding route that takes you to about 3,900 feet above sea level. If you're willing to brave this potentially dangerous road at night, you can see some terrific views of the city lights.

Visit The Rooftop Gardens at Wafi Pyramids

Wafi Pyramids Rooftop Gardens  quickly makes the itineraries of budget travelers because it hosts the "Movies under the Stars" events that are popular and free each Sunday at 8:30 p.m. The outdoor theater features beanbag chairs and access to food and beverages.

There are other entertainment venues here that will require money. But it costs nothing to soak in the atmosphere.

This is also a place for splurge dining. Scores of good restaurants offering Italian, Asian, and Continental cuisine line the passageways.

Window Shop at the Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall , in the shadow of Burj Khalifa, is the world's second-largest mall. That fact in itself makes this a worthy tourist destination, and it costs nothing to survey the vast shopping areas.  

Inside the mall, your visit will require some planning. This is a shopping center of 5.9 million square feet, with 1,200 stores that attract millions of annual visitors. The numbers are astounding, but the list of "bests" and "biggest" are under constant dispute from other malls around the world.

Look past all those claims and enjoy observing some unique attractions, such as a 10,000 sq. ft "sweet shop," a 245-ton aquarium, and a giant indoor amusement park. To take full advantage of these attractions requires money, but observations are free.

Watch Dubai's Dancing Fountains

Next door to the mall, Dubai's famous  dancing fountains  are billed as "the world's largest performing fountain." This free attraction resembles the Las Vegas Bellagio show with 6,000 lights and 50 color projectors.

The shows run about five minutes in length and are staged from 6-11 p.m. and sometimes during midday periods. Go to the Waterfront Promenade just outside the mall.

Explore the Gold Souk

Gold Souk  literally means gold market, and you'll see a variety of products rarely matched elsewhere. The location is 54 Al Khor St.

If you're thinking about buying, do your research before arrival. Not every advertised "deal" will work to your benefit. The government does regulate the products, so worry less about authenticity and more about price. Bargaining is common, but knowing the true market value of a piece before buying is essential.

It costs nothing to stroll and observe. You'll see gold jewelry and diamonds from this area and other parts of the Middle East and Asia.

Visit Ras Al Khor Wildlife Santuary

Ras Al Khor  is a wildlife sanctuary that sits at the mouth of the Dubai Creek, and its home to many species of birds. However, it is best known as the place to see scores of flamingos during the cooler months. There is no entry fee.

Dubai sometimes comes off as rather plastic and artificial, so this site becomes one of relatively few natural attractions. If you're a bird watcher, it might fill an entire day. For others, it is worth a quick look -- and don't forget your camera.

Hit the Beach at Jumeirah

Jumeirah Beach is home to some of Dubai's most exclusive hotels. Guests pay extravagant fees to enjoy top-tier services and the soft sands of the nearby beach. But there's a public portion of the beach that does not require a five-star hotel stay for admission. It's free to use.

Enter the public portion of the beach at Jumeirah Beach Park, where you can picnic, barbeque, or just relax.

Keep in mind that average summer high temperatures are well in excess of 100°F. Walking on the sand can be a painful experience under those conditions, so bring along some flip-flops or other appropriate footwear.

Explore Al Fahidi (Bastakiya) Historical District

Al Fahidi (also commonly called Bastakiya) is a historical district in the heart of Dubai that brings a glimpse of what this area looked like prior to all the high-rise construction of the past few decades.

The neighborhood originally was about twice its current size, but half was demolished to make way for development.

Following encouragement from a visiting Prince Charles , the local government moved to preserve the remaining structures. They have been restored to show what life was like here in the 1600s. Narrow alleys and roadways have been recreated, and several small museums are also available to visit without admission charges.

Nearby is the Etihad Museum , which does make a modest admission charge of less than $10 for adults. Although not free, it is well worth a visit. The museum traces the development of the United Arab Emirates with interactive exhibits. 

Take a Walking Tour

Dubai by Foot  offers free tours during the summer season at no charge, under the philosophy that everyone should have access to a basic understanding of Old Dubai, regardless of ability to pay.

As with other tours of this type in the U.S., those with ability to tip generously for a good tour should do so. It supports the people who provide this service for everyone.

The tours are available at various times in six languages. The Old Dubai tour covers several attractions already covered here, such as the Gold Souk and the Bastakiya District. 

The company also offers other tours at low cost. Check for schedules and prices in effect during your visit.

Browse the Food and Craft Market at Zabeel Park

This market (Time Square Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road, Saturdays from 9 a.m. -3 p.m.) allows visitors to meander among scores of artisan stalls, where some of the area's most talented craftsmen are represented.

Many visitors arrive here not knowing exactly what they'll find, and they wind up purchasing items that were unfamiliar but enticing.

Crafts are outside in open-air markets, while some organic grocery shopping can be done through the inside portion. 

Even if you're not in the market for anything on sale, enjoy a free education about the products of Dubai.

Check out the Jumeirah Mosque too.

From beaches that fringe the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf bathed in year-round sunshine, to the architectural marvels that punctuate the skyline and define the destination, Dubai is irresistibly dynamic, with some of the world’s most unique and modern attractions.

• Wander the laneways of the atmospheric gold and spice souks of old Dubai, piled high with aromatic and glittering treats.
• Check out super-cool Kite Beach if you’re into watersports.
• Have hours of laughs and squeals while cooling down at Dubai’s water parks.
• Visit Downtown Dubai, packed with incredible sites, including an actual dinosaur skeleton inside a shopping mall and the highest building on the planet, Burj Khalifa.

Expect year-round sunshine – it’s just a case of exactly how hot you like it. October to April provides the most pleasant option (small potential of rain and wind in January and February), with temperatures around 25-28C. From May, these temperatures really rocket between June and September (upwards of 40C) but Dubai offers plenty of incentives to visit then, such as shopping festivals in air-conditioned malls, indoor attractions and fantastic value offers.

These high temperatures require light, breathable clothing, but always have a cover-up for when you hit the air conditioning. Whilst a liberal and popular holiday hotspot, it’s still good to bear in mind that Dubai is a Muslim destination, so dress respectfully outside of your resort (for example, women should wear clothing that covers the shoulders and the knees in shopping malls, and if entering a mosque, hair must be covered). Desert trips are best in comfortable safari-type clothing.

Palm Jumeirah

This ambitious artificial archipelago, created using land reclamation, was one of many projects that put Dubai on the map, with its crescent-like “fronds” extending out from a “trunk” that runs the length of the central section – all the way from the mainland up to Atlantis The Palm. The 5.4km Palm Jumeirah Monorail also runs from the Gateway Towers at the base to Atlantis The Palm and is home to many thousands of private homes, and numerous hotels by some of the world’s leading brands, such as Fairmont, Sofitel, Jumeirah, One&Only, Waldorf Astoria and Anantara.

Jumeirah Beach

One of the original homes of tourism here in the emirate, Dubai’s main beach area is washed by the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf and lined with excellent hotels, such as the iconic wave-like Jumeirah Beach. Also here is Wild Wadi WaterparkTM, which will keep everyone amused for hours, while Jumeirah beach park is a great public space that’s also popular with local families.

Downtown Dubai

The anchor of this futuristic district is the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, which took five years to build and opened in 2010, boasting a staggering 828 metres to its name; from the viewing area at its upper levels, other buildings below seem like crumbs. Inside the Burj Khalifa is the first-ever Armani hotel, while other attentiongrabbing attractions of this area include Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain - both the world’s biggest - where jets of water shoot up to 150 metres high, and seem to “dance” in time to music as they are illuminated by more than 6,000 lights.

Sitting on the south side of Dubai Creek, the oldest part of the city dates to the 1900s, with sandy-coloured buildings, museums and minarets. Here you’ll see Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood with its charming car-free, narrow streets and houses topped with wind towers, or barajeel. The area was previously known as Bastakiya after the Iranian town of Bastak, where the original Iranian settlers came from across the Gulf to take advantage of free land and low taxes. You can find out more about Dubai’s history with a look inside Dubai Museum or browse the rainbow of fabrics, clothes and slippers in the Textile Souk.

Sheikh Zayed Road

Named for the much-revered first president of UAE, this is where life has spread out to from the Creek, and has been the epicentre of development, amassing a collection of skyscrapers each more audacious than the next, such as Emirates Towers. Technically, it’s just part of the highway running across the whole of UAE, but it’s also where you’ll find many of the city’s hotels, restaurants and shops. For example, just some of the junctions off here will take you towards Mall of the Emirates, Gold & Diamond Park, Madinat Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, Wild Wadi Water Park™, Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Marina.

Wander one of the city’s oldest districts, dating to around 1841. Once just a sleepy waterside village, Deira soon took over the original settlement of Bur Dubai in scale and is still a cornucopia of ethnicities mixed with tourists, here to check out the souks, where gold is among the cheapest in the world. You can cross Dubai Creek between Deira and Bur Dubai in an ‘abra’ (water taxi) for just AED2 (approximately 40p).

Dubai Marina

Sophisticated, skyscraping, and buzzing – Dubai Marina is designed to evoke Riviera-style living in a contemporary setting. This attractive and central place to play and stay in Dubai is a waterfront development built around a 3.5km canal. Along its banks are Dubai Marina Mall (with around 140 stores); The Address Dubai Marina hotel; Pier 7 Dubai Marina - which boasts seven restaurants, each on its own floor and with a unique atmosphere; and Dubai Marina Yacht Club.

Mall of the Emirates/Al Barsha

Now 11 years old, this place changed the face of shopping in Dubai forever. Billed as the world’s first shopping “resort”, it is a destination in its own right, home to Ski Dubai, hundreds of shops, two hotels including Kempinski Mall of the Emirates, Magic Planet for family entertainment, a 14-screen VOX Cinema, Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre and more than 90 dining options. Al Barsha the residential area surrounding the mall offers affordable accommodation and local dining options close to many of Dubai’s key attractions.

No trip to Dubai would be complete without a desert safari. Hop into a 4x4 and leave the city behind as you head into the wilds of the desert - go dune ‘bashing’ or camel-riding before sunset, then enjoy remote Bedouin-style camps with fireside tales and delicious dinners, or even spend the night sleeping out in tents before returning to Dubai after breakfast.

Jumeirah Beach Residences

This area combines casual outdoor living with top-notch shops, restaurants and the beach. The Walk at JBR, which was Dubai’s first outdoor promenade, has a 1.7km stretch of shops and restaurants and more recently has also been joined by The Beach, with even more dining and leisure options formed around a pedestrian esplanade.

Jebel Ali is the thriving commercial port area of Dubai, around 35km southwest from the city, and given its historic establishment, can also boast one of the most longstanding and largest resorts in the emirate – the JA Jebel Ali Beach Resort, which has a lovely private beach, golf course and a myriad of other leisure attractions. Jebel Ali is also the new home of a dazzling new attraction - Dubai Parks & Resorts. This is the first integrated resort destination in the region, opening in late 2016, and home of LEGOLAND® Dubai, LEGOLAND® Waterpark, motiongate™ Dubai and Bollywood Parks™, as well as Riverland™.

International restaurants and top global chefs are in abundance, but if you want to try Emirati cuisine, you’ll sense a range of regional influences. Most likely, you will find roast lamb with rice and nuts (ghuzi), stuffed vine leaves (warak enab), chickpea and sesame paste (hummus), bulghur wheat with mint and parsley (tabbouleh), spit-cooked meat in pitta bread with garlic sauce (shawama), cooked balls of chickpeas with herbs (falafel) and plenty of fish. Goat may also be on the menu, but no pork, in accordance with Muslim beliefs. Alcohol is tolerated and drinking is possible in the plentiful hotel bars and restaurants.

Culture in Dubai is rooted in Islamic traditions. Emirati men tend to dress in traditional dishdasha or khandura (long white shirt-dress), with ghutra (a white headdress) and agal (a rope worn to keep the ghutra in place), while women tend to wear an abaya (a long black cloak), with a sheyla or hijab (a scarf used to wrap around the face and head). The most religious time of the year is Ramadan, when Muslims fast for approximately a month and a festival atmosphere can be found in the evening when the locals break their fast. But as well as the minarets of mosques, you will also see temples and churches. A new opera house is also set to open this year.

Hares and lizards - such as the spiny-tailed lizard - may scamper around the desert but you would be hard pushed to see much natural wildlife in Dubai these days. However, there are many excellent reserves and conservation projects you can explore – which provide the thrill of seeing the iconic oryx, an Arabian leopard, mountain gazelle, sand gazelle or caracal. In the waters, you might have the chance of spotting the biggest fish of the ocean, a whale shark.

The human history of Dubai dates back to the bronze age (2500BC) when nomadic cattle herders are first thought to have settled in the area. A couple of millennia later and Dubai was still little more than a small fishing settlement until members of the Bani Yas tribe, led by the Maktoum Family, settled at the mouth of the creek in 1833. The creek was a natural harbour and Dubai soon became a centre for the fishing, pearling and sea trade. The population was later buoyed by the lure of tax-free living attracting traders from the Indian subcontinent. Oil was discovered in the 1950s and the first cargo left Dubai in 1969. In 1971, the six emirates agreed a Federal Constitution, gained independence from Britain becoming the United Arab Emirates, with Ras Al Khaimah joining the following year to form the UAE as it is today.

Aquaventure Waterpark

This adrenaline-pumping waterpark set within Atlantis The Palm includes the chance to take the Leap of Faith or zoom through the darkened tunnels of Shark Attack; as well as an invite to tackle Aquaconda, the world’s largest water slide. Or, perhaps you prefer to just sit and mind everyone’s towels as you relax on 700 metres of private beach. Ticket prices from E£ 1,253 per person.

At The Top, Burj Khalifa

This attraction is spread across levels 148 and 125 of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. The experience starts with the lift up to level 125, where you can marvel at the view from the 380-degree enclosed observatory. Then it’s up a little more, to the 148th floor at 555 meters, where you step onto the world’s highest outdoor observation deck. After all that sightseeing, visit Level 122 which is home to the restaurant and bar, At.mosphere. Ticket prices from E£ 797 per person.

IMG Worlds of Adventure

Dubai’s first mega themed entertainment destination will be the largest temperature controlled indoor park in the world and will wow guests with its four epic adventure zones. Two are created with global adventure brands Cartoon Network and MARVEL, while IMG Boulevard and the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure are original concepts from the IMG Group. Think rollercoasters, thrill rides and attractions – all based on popular characters and hair-raising dinosaurs. Combine with the amazing array of retail temptations and exclusive dining venues and you have a day of fun for the whole family.

The brilliant KidZania® is a super-interactive and educational attraction inside The Dubai Mall where children play grown-ups as they try on various careers for size. There are more than 80 roles to choose from including firefighters, radio hosts, jewellery designers and mechanics. Ticket prices from E£ 683 per person.

Wild Wadi Waterpark™

One of the best family days out in Dubai, Wild Wadi Waterpark™ is set in front of the iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, and offers 30 watery rides and attractions. Themed around the tale of Juha, a character from Arabian folklore, the rides range from sedate “lazy rivers” where you can bob along in a rubber ring, to the Jumeirah Sceirah, which has two tandem slides you zip down from a 32 metre high tower.

Dubai Aquarium

The 270-degree acrylic walkthrough tunnel takes you under one of the largest tanks in the world so you can see some of the 33,000 animals - representing more than 85 species including 400 sharks and rays. You can also just stroll past it from The Dubai Mall, with one of the world’s largest viewing panels to gaze through to the aquarium. Ticket prices from E£ 456 per person.

Seawings Seaplane Tours

There’s only one way to really get to grips with the scale of things here - from the air and these tours by seaplane do just that. Giving the finest views over Dubai, these comfortable little planes can use 27 different water landing strips and runways across UAE, so any combinations can be arranged. The 40-minute Dubai Silver Air Tour flies you over all the Dubai classics, taking off from either Dubai Creek or Jebel Ali Resort, then cruising along the coastline, giving you a bird’s-eye view of The World, Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. Ticket prices from E£ 8,109 per person.

Situated within the Mall of the Emirates, this made the world sit up and take notice of Dubai’s many ambitious projects when it first opened – and still does. It was the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort and today offers a snow park, Ski School, Penguin Encounter and Snow Bullet. Ticket prices from E£ 615 per person.

SEGA Republic

One of the many attractions inside The Dubai Mall, SEGA Republic is a high-adrenaline, indoor family theme park, featuring 15 attractions and more than 170 games, from cutting-edge motion simulators to virtual experiences. Ticket prices from E£ 820 per person.

Dubai Parks and Resorts

Calling all adventure seekers, Dubai Parks and Resorts opened its doors in October 2016 and should be at the top of your must-visit list. Home to three world-class theme parks, one water park and over 100 attractions ranging from rollercoasters and waterslides to cinematic rides and live shows, Dubai Parks and Resorts is sure to delight guests of all ages. Lapita, a four star Polynesian style hotel is located within the parks and offers guests the convenience of a night’s rest only a few minutes from the rides. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite Palm Jebel Ali, a trip to this fun-filled resort is a great option for guests staying in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

More To Discover

If you want to do more than “fly and flop”, you’ve come to the right place. One way to get the measure of Dubai is to catch it from the air – whether that be via an adrenaline-fuelled skydive over The Palm Jumeirah, or a scenic seaplane ride. Other aerial options include a sunrise hot air balloon experience, which will lift you off the ground 1,200 metres above the desert as you spot oases and the occasional wandering camel below. Kite surfers will love Kite Beach, one of Dubai’s best stretches of sand, and one where watersports operators aplenty await to help you pick up a new skill or hone your talent. Meanwhile at Dubai Mall, you can try a snorkeling cage experience within the huge tank at Dubai Aquarium, or even swim with sharks.

Emirates is giving away free hotel stays in Dubai this summer

By Olivia Morelli

Dubai has been catching our eye over the last few months. In January 2023, the exclusive unveiling of  Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal  saw a three-day grand weekend featuring a Beyoncé performance and a party hosted by Kendall Jenner. Back in December 2022, news broke that the  world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, may be set to get a futuristic addition  – a 550-metre tall ring set to be used for housing and public and commercial blocks. Beyond that, the emirate is home to some of the  best hotels in the world , from giant towering skyscrapers to majestic architectural feats hidden in the desert dunes. Now, travellers who want to visit Dubai have a new incentive to book a trip.

Emirates has announced they will offer travellers free stays at some of  Dubai’s best hotels  in summer 2023. Anyone flying with Emirates in First or Business Class can book a complimentary two-night stay at  25hours Hotel Dubai One Central , while those flying in Premium Economy Class or Economy Class can have a one-night stay at Novotel World Trade Centre.

The 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central could be the emirate’s most un-Dubai hotel – unique, exciting and edgy, with a playful dose of European cool. Diverging from standard Dubai hotels, it has hedonistic concepts – including a mixed-gender sauna (the first in the Middle East), craft coffee shops (with coffee cups blazoned with “caution, hot and wet inside”) and slogans such as “come to bed with me.”Plus, the brand is known for its LGBTQ+ advocacy. Those staying at Novotel World Trade Centre can sip on cocktails by the pool and spend evenings listening to live music at the Blue Bar. It’s also perfectly placed as one of the best family-friendly holidays in Dubai , right in the heart of the city.

To claim the offer, you need to book your flights before Monday 11 June 2023, and travel before Thursday 31 August. The offer is available for those booking return flights with Emirates to Dubai (or making the city a stopover before a second Emirates flight. Hotel rooms are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, bookings must be made at least 96 hours before arrival, and make sure your time in Dubai is at least 24 hours long. Once you’ve booked your flight, email [email protected] with your booking reference code, date of arrival in Dubai, passenger names, contact phone number, and email address, and you will be sent your hotel confirmation. The offer also includes additional discounts and perks while you’re in Dubai – passengers get 20 per cent off tickets to the top of the Burj Khalifa, discounts at restaurants or 15 per cent off desert tours with Arabian Adventures, for example.

Emirates Is Giving Away Free Hotel Stays in Dubai This Summer

This summer, Emirates is making it easier to take an unforgettable—and affordable—vacation to Dubai . The airline recently announced that it would be offering its passengers free hotel stays at some of the city’s best properties through August. 

The offer applies to flights booked now through June 11 for travel from May 26 to August 31. Travelers can choose to visit just Dubai or to make the city a stopover and continue on another Emirates flight to a different destination—but to qualify for the deal, travelers must spend a minimum of 24 hours in Dubai.

Passengers flying in first and business class will be given a free two-night stay at the 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central , a five-star hotel that opened in December 2021 and is a highlight of the city’s blossoming One Central neighborhood. Travelers booked in premium economy or regular economy will be afforded one complimentary night at the Novotel World Trade Center Dubai .

If you’re interested in the deal, you’ll want to book fast: The hotel rooms are available on a first come, first served basis and are subject to availability. Emirates recommends booking at least 96 hours (about four days) ahead of your departure for the best chance at scoring the free rooms. 

To book the free hotel stay, simply purchase your flights with Emirates before June 11. (Be sure your time in Dubai is at least 24 hours long and within the travel period of May 26 to August 31.) Once you’ve booked your flights, email  [email protected] with your booking reference code, date of arrival in Dubai, passenger names, contact phone number, and email address. You will then be sent your hotel confirmation.

Once you’re on the ground, you’ll also get access to additional discounts and perks around Dubai, just by showing your boarding pass. The airline has refreshed its  My Summer Pass program , which grants passengers offers on can't-miss activities like a 30 percent discount on spa treatments at the Sofitel Dubai the Palm, 20 percent off tickets to the top of the Burj Khalifa, 15 percent off desert tours with Arabian Adventures, and hundreds more. The boarding pass discounts last through the end of September.

The timing of the free hotel stays is ideal for American travelers, as it coincides with the airline's expansion of its new premium economy cabin in the U.S. The new cabin—which comes with benefits like extra legroom, comfier seats, and Champagne—have debuted on routes to New York JFK and San Francisco, and are coming to Los Angeles and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental airport later this summer.

The calendar says the Stanley Cup playoffs haven't started yet, but the standings indicate that the game Thursday between the Pittsburgh Penguins and visiting Detroit Red Wings might as well be a postseason affair.

Not only were the New York Rangers unable to clinch the Metropolitan Division title Tuesday night, but they also emerged from a rough performance against the New York Islanders slightly less healthy.
