Four must-do things in Dubai

Have dinner from the top of a crane, visit the tallest building in the world and more.

There's so much to do in Dubai, UAE! It's a city full of exciting activities, things to see and places to go.

If you're planning your itinerary, here are four things to add to it:

1. Dinner in the Dessert

This experience is so much fun. It includes dinner, a show, sandboarding, a camel ride, dune bashing, and an ATV tour through the desert. The activity lasts around 4 hours and is well worth the price!

2. Burj Khalifa

This is the tallest building in the world -- and it feels like it. The Burj Khalifa can be seen from just about anywhere in Dubai, but seeing its height from the inside is really cool. There are different tour options available, but an early noon or morning tour will yield some great views of Dubai's landscape.

3. Shopping in Old Dubai

Because Dubai is constantly growing, there are lots of places to shop all around the city, but in Old Dubai, there are souks that are worth visiting for a cool, unique experience. In Old Dubai, you'll find everything from spices to perfumes, the gold souks, clothing and more.

4. Dinner in the Sky

If you're a thrill-seeker, Dinner in the Sky is for you! You'll be served a three-course dinner at a table that's lifted to the top of a crane. There are breakfast, lunch and dinner reservations available, but I suggest dinner because it has some pretty spectacular views of the city!
