With spectacular skyscrapers, smart technologies, and unique modern facilities, Dubai looks expensive. But what if we tell you there are lots of free experiences that you can do in this dream city? Check out some of the amazing free fun in Dubai:
Located on the tip of the world-famous Palm Jumeirah Islands, this iconic waterfront destination has more shopping as well as free entertainment options than you can imagine. Walk through the 1.5km long promenade and enjoy a show at the world’s largest fountain, The Palm Fountain, featuring dancing water streams shooting up to 105 metres and lit by over 3000 multi-coloured LED lights. The stunning view of the luxurious Atlantis hotel amidst the serene waterside vibes of the Palm beach is a worthy experience available for free in Dubai.
Although you need an AED 199 ticket to view the Dubai Aquarium from inside, it costs nothing to enjoy the outer beauty of this largest indoor aquarium in the world, which recently made it into the Guinness World Records. It features over 300 species of marine life, including sand tiger sharks and rays, housed in a 10-million-litre tank. This fascinating aquatic adventure is spread across multiple floors and can be viewed while strolling inside the mall.
The seaside beauty of Dubai is unmatchable, and it can be enjoyed for free at various public beaches in the city, such as Jumeirah beach, Kite beach, La Mer, and JBR beach, among others. These long stretches of white sandy beach with crystal clear water also include a variety of paid water sports and activities such as jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides. If you are up for some free and fun leisure time at the beach, you can enjoy soothing sunbathing or take a dip and swim along with the waves.
Enjoying cold, breezy weather with the warmth of a bonfire and delicious freshly prepared barbeque is a must-do experience in Dubai. You can camp for free at different destinations, including stunning desert camping spots like Al Qudra lakes in Dubai, and other popular destinations in the UAE, such as Jebel Jais, Umm Al Quwain Beach, and Fujairah, to name a few. Just drive to these locations with your tents and other essentials to enjoy and unwind amidst a starry night.
Bluewaters is a vibrant artificial island that is a unique lifestyle destination with many leisure, entertainment, residential, and retail options. You can view and enjoy the stunning beauty of the world’s largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai. Do not miss the wonderful walking experience over the seas on the short pedestrian link bridge that is less than 300 metres, connecting this island to Jumeirah Beach Residences.
Dubai has always been popular for its ‘souks’ (traditional markets), and the renowned Gold Souk holds a special value for itself among the rest. Displaying shimmering gold jewellery in authentic and awe-inspiring designs from around the world, a stroll through the souk streets is a treat indeed. Apart from quality gold products, you will also come across a myriad of jewellery with diamonds, pearls, platinum, and silver.
Do you like to go on cultural or historic expeditions?? The Dubai Heritage Village will be ideal for you to learn about the local culture and history and see how people lived in Dubai before the oil era. Located across Dubai Creek, this area showcases the traditional lifestyle and culture of the Emirate. The village features traditional mud-brick houses, a souk, and different workshops where visitors can learn about traditional crafts such as pottery, textiles, and metalworking. You can also enjoy traditional Emirati music and dance performances and learn about the ancient customs and practices in the UAE.
