Dubai has plenty to offer, whether you're staying a week or just a few days.

Here are just a few suggestions:

City Tour
The "Big Bus Tour" gives a great overview of everything in Dubai in just a couple of hours. The guides are very knowledgeable and tickets are valid for 24 hours. For those into something a little different, the Wonderbus Tour drives across land, before going into the water, giving a whole different view of Dubai.

The Gold Souk
There is a good reason that Dubai is called the city of gold. With huge amounts of gold traded here, there are an expansive number of shops selling jewellery. Even if you don't wish to buy, just walking through the souk itself is an experience.

Burj-al-Arab
Dubai's symbol of extravagance. You'll have to pay a fee to get in but is redeemable against food or any purchase you make at this 7-star hotel!

Indoor Skiing
The very fact that you are in the desert and are skiing could seem a contradiction in terms, but that is the lure to the whole experience that is Ski Dubai. With prices covering the rental of all equipment and clothing, you just need to bring yourself along.

Shopping
Dubai is a shopaholics paradise, with local and international brands on offer. Pick your mall depending on what you are looking for, but be sure to check out the Mall of the Emirates at least once during your trip, just for its impressive size.

Boat Trip
Avoid the traffic and cross the creek using an abra, a small wooden boat. It costs next to nothing (50 fils) and can be included as part of your visit through the city.
