I would absolutely recommend these attractions when you visit Dubai.

Mall of the Emirates: The larget shopping mall in the Middle East, housing the Middle East's first indoor ski slope, measuring 400 meters and using 6000 tons of snow. The mall is home to over 450 international retail brands.

Burj Dubai: This will be the world's tallest building, although a hotel, this is one of Dubai's major tourist sights.

Dubai Museum: Believed to be Dubai's oldest building. Built in 1787, the Al-Fahidi Fort houses the Dubai Museum. The Museum offers a unique trip to desert life, traditional Arabian homes, mosques, fishing, pearl diving and trade. Major highlights of Dubai Museum are artifacts from excavated graves, musical instruments. Deadly weapons also form the major part of Dubai Museum, such as swords, spears.

Gold Souk: The Gold Souk is Dubai’s most famous market. Explore the alleyways and narrow streets that are lined with shops bursting with gold necklaces, brooches, rings, bangles and earrings. Be dazzled by a staggering display of gold, and more gold!

Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum House: Built in 1896, Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum House, Dubai is an iconic structure from the olden days of Dubai. Saeed Al-Maktoum was the brain behind Dubai Creek, one of the magnificent marine attractions for the tourists world over. This erstwhile ancestral home for the Al-Maktoum family for several generations has witnessed several watersheds in the History of Dubai.

I know it sounds weird, but I dont think many countries in the world, you go to supermarket and can find ANY type of food you wish - european, indian, asian, sushi, russian, arabic... I mean it - any. Its fun for those who love cooking, like me :)
I know I will miss this when I go back to Europe..

Al Fahidi Fort, which houses the Dubai Museum, is another imposing building. It once guarded the city’s landward approaches. Built around 1799, it has served variously as palace, garrison and prison.

It was renovated in 1970 for use as a museum; further restoration and the addition of galleries was completed in 1995. Colorful and evocative dioramas, complete with life-size figures and sound and lighting effects, vividly depict everyday life in pre-oil days. Galleries re scenes from the Creek, traditional Arab houses, mosques, the souk, date gardens, desert and marine .

One of the most spectacular exhibits portrays the underwater world of pearl-diving, and is accompanied by sets of pearl merchants’ weights, scales and sieves.

Also on display are artefacts such as fine copper, alabaster and pottery objects found in 3,000–4,000 year-old graves at Al Ghusais. The main fort is a fascinating military museum.

there is so much construction going on in dubai, but many visitors see little but the centre of town. Away from the centre new residential areas are popping up all the time. Near the new Festival city is a very attractive area called Badia hillside Village . the buildings are in traditional Arab style. to me they look like pictures of Yemen. tall buildings with wind-towers, mashrabiya features, balconies etc The next block are more Mediterranean in appearance.. To me it is a welcome change from the shiny glass that dominates other areas.

Jebel Hafeet is a mountain in Abu Dhabi. It is on the outskirts of Al Ain, near the border with Oman, about one hour away by road from Dubai. As you leave Dubai, the highway takes you through the desert, and then the rural parts of Abu Dhabi, and finally a winding road takes you up the 1240 meters tall mountain. There is a small restaurant on the mountain top and one can enjoy a great view of the region.

When we went there (in March 2007), the sky was cloudy. For some reason, we were hit by a thunderstorm at the very top. The water was so cold, I couldnt believe we were in a desert. At the foothills of Jabal Hafeet is a hot water spring called Green Mubazarrah. It was too late to go there, but it is a very popular tourist attraction.
