What immediately struck me is how futuristic and traditional it is at the same time. You&#8217;ll find ultra-modern architecture, luxury hotels and gigantic shopping centres, but also historic neighbourhoods and traditional markets.<\/p>\n<p>The weather in Dubai is almost always sunny. In summer it&#8217;s hot (sometimes over 45 degrees!), so many people choose to go in winter or spring. Think temperatures around 25 to 30 degrees \u2013 perfect beach weather.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37263\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165625\/dubai-burj-al-arab.png\" alt=\"dubai burj al arab\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165625\/dubai-burj-al-arab.png 800w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165625\/dubai-burj-al-arab-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165625\/dubai-burj-al-arab-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165625\/dubai-burj-al-arab-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What to do in Dubai?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going on holiday to Dubai, you obviously don&#8217;t want to miss anything. Here are some of my favourite <strong>activities and things to do in Dubai<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Visit the Burj Khalifa<\/h3>\n<p>The world&#8217;s tallest tower is an absolute must. Definitely go to the observation platforms on floors 124 and 125. Book your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/en-gb\/dubai-l173\/dubai-burj-khalifa-niveaus-124-125-toegangsbewijs-opties-t49019\/?partner_id=9AXBYLU&amp;utm_medium=suppliers&amp;cmp=Blog-Wattedoen-Dubai\">Burj Khalifa tickets<\/a> in advance to avoid long queues. Also read my detailed blog about the Burj Khalifa.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37265\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165742\/dubai-burj-khalifa.png\" alt=\"dubai burj khalifa\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165742\/dubai-burj-khalifa.png 800w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165742\/dubai-burj-khalifa-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165742\/dubai-burj-khalifa-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165742\/dubai-burj-khalifa-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Museum of the Future<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most impressive museums I&#8217;ve ever been to! The exterior is already a work of art in itself, and inside you literally step into the future. Definitely a must-do if you&#8217;re into technology and innovation. Get your tickets here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/en-gb\/dubai-l173\/dubai-toegangsbewijs-museum-van-de-toekomst-t411488\/?partner_id=9AXBYLU&amp;utm_medium=suppliers&amp;cmp=Blog-Wattedoen-Dubai\">Museum of the Future.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. The View at The Palm<\/h3>\n<p>This observation deck gives you an incredible view over Palm Jumeirah \u2013 the famous palm-shaped island group. I recommend going around sunset for the best photos. Book in advance via: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/en-gb\/dubai-islands-l167429\/dubai-the-view-at-the-palm-observatory-toegangsbewijs-t409529\/?partner_id=9AXBYLU&amp;utm_medium=suppliers&amp;cmp=Blog-Wattedoen-Dubai\">The View at The Palm<\/a> because this is an incredibly popular attraction and when it&#8217;s full, it&#8217;s full!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37273\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29174310\/atlantis-the-palm.png\" alt=\"atlantis the palm\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29174310\/atlantis-the-palm.png 800w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29174310\/atlantis-the-palm-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29174310\/atlantis-the-palm-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29174310\/atlantis-the-palm-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark<\/h3>\n<p>Are you in <strong>Dubai with children<\/strong>? Then this waterpark is a guaranteed success. For adults too, by the way, because some of the slides are pretty intense. Buy your tickets here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/en-gb\/dubai-l173\/dubai-toegangskaart-atlantis-aquaventure-waterpark-t570397\/?partner_id=9AXBYLU&amp;utm_medium=suppliers&amp;cmp=Blog-Wattedoen-Dubai\">Aquaventure Waterpark<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Historic Dubai<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget old Dubai either! In the <strong data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"161\">Deira<\/strong> district it feels like you&#8217;re stepping back in time. You stroll past traditional shops, colourful spice markets and the famous <strong data-start=\"294\" data-end=\"307\">gold souks<\/strong>, where gold literally reaches up to the ceiling. Did you know that the world&#8217;s largest gold jewellery piece was sold here? Definitely take a trip on an <em data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"471\">abra<\/em> \u2013 a traditional wooden boat \u2013 across the <strong data-start=\"513\" data-end=\"528\">Dubai Creek<\/strong>. For just a few dirhams you sail from one side of the city to the other. Simple, local and super fun to do. It&#8217;s a nice change from all the gleaming skyscrapers and shopping centres.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37260\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165213\/skyline-dubai.png\" alt=\"skyline dubai\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165213\/skyline-dubai.png 800w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165213\/skyline-dubai-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165213\/skyline-dubai-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/29165213\/skyline-dubai-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. The best activity: a bike tour through Dubai with Baja Bikes<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know you can also explore Dubai perfectly by bike? I did a <strong>bike tour with Baja Bikes<\/strong> and this was such an incredibly cool experience! Together with a local guide you cycle past amazing places like Jumeirah Beach, the Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah. You learn an enormous amount about the city in a short time, without sitting in traffic or getting lost. The guide told all kinds of fun facts you won&#8217;t hear anywhere else.
