Whatever your thrill level is, Dubai has something special for everyone to enjoy. Not to be missed activities include a desert safari, a helicopter flight over the city, watching the Dubai fountains, swimming with dolphins in dolphin bay and admiring floral displays at the Dubai miracle garden – just to name a few.
