Things to do in Dubai :
*Desert Safari – Much Recommended
If you like adventure activities and want some thrill then this is for you. The Dazzling Dubai Dune Bashing is one of the must do things in Dubai, and you should not miss it at any cost. Even if you are visiting the city for short span of time, you should consider this in your Itinerary.
In my case, We opted for the half day safari tour and booked the Safari from Bonton Tours & Travels. First, we drove out of Dubai to find some big sand dunes. An hour from Dubai sees the low scrubland disappear, and the proper desert begins; wave after wave of rolling ochre sand dunes stretch to the horizon. The driver then reduced the air pressure in the tires, and we drove off.
( Just Before the Safari, you would need to wait for all the arrangements to be done and here, you can enjoy the above activities before the dune bashing )
It was an awesome thrill ride and very, very bumpy. We firmly fastened our seatbelts as the convoy of 4×4’s headed off into the dunes. You also get options of Hummer H2 for this Safari Ride and experience the thrill of Hummer H2, but you would need to pay a little higher for that.
We Enjoyed the Bollywood Songs in our thrilling rollercoaster ride, and our Driver was a huge Bollywood fan. So, he played some awesome Party songs with the Yo Yo Honey Singh songs as top priority. After that, our Jeep driver stopped our vehicle and allowed us to take sunset photographs.

A Ride through Palm Islands :
Get a ride through Palm Islands and explore Palm Jumeirah and the Atlantis Hotel. But, you will never realize that you are actually in the Palm Islands if you are travelling in a Car.
