Dubai Travel Forum

I am visiting Dubai for 2 days in next few days. Suggest some places to visit in 2 days.

Dubai is most famous for its shopping centers: Mall of Emirates, Burj-ul-Arab, City Center, etc. Wild Valley is a most recommended water park. I also did Desert Safari when in Dubai, which was a wonderful experience. A must do indeed. I did it from Hotel Ramada, it will cost you around 150 dirhams and includes Safari, Belly dancing, camel ride, and a traditional dinner. Don't miss it!

Also have a look on the pages of members living in Dubai, load of useful information on places to visit and things to do.
Good luck.

The Creek---a natural sea-water inlet which cuts through the centre of the city. It is very interesting to see the colour and bustle of the loading and unloading of dhows which still ply ancient trade routes to places as distant as India and East Africa.

Archaeological Sites--You can visit the excavation sites at Al Ghusais, Al Sufooh and Jumeirah where you will find arte facts from the seventh to 15th centuries.

Bastakiya--The old Bastakiya district with its narrow lanes and tall wind-towers gives a tantalizing glimpse of old Dubai. Immediately to the east of Al Fahidi Fort is the largest concentration of traditional courtyard houses with wind towers. In the past, the city was famous for a mass of wind towers which lined the Creek on either side. These were not merely decorative; they were the only means of cooling houses in the days before electricity

Burj Nahar--One of three watchtowers guarding the old city, the restored Burj Nahar in its picturesque gardens in Deira is popular with photographers.

WonderLand--The 18-hectare Wonder Land family fun park features a wide range of water attractions.

Shindagha--At the mouth of the Creek, Shindagha is the original site from which Dubai grew. Sheikh Saeed's house, the former home the ruling Maktoum family, has been carefully restored here.

Open daily from 8:30am - 8:30pm, except Fridays: 3pm - 8:30pm.

Dubai Museum--The Dubai Museum, situated in the Al Fahidi Fort, is another imposing building. It once guarded the city's landlord approaches. Built around 1799, it has served variously as palace, garrison and prison. It was renovated in 1970 for use as a museum; further restoration and the addition of galleries was completed in 1995.

Adeel, you don't tell us what your interests are so it's not easy to make recommendations.

Dubai is really two separate areas these days, the original city and 'New Dubai' with all the new developments.

As you only have two days I suggest one is spent in the old city visiting the souks and local shopping streets in Deira and Bur Dubai, the museum, Heritage Village, Sheikh Saeed's house and riding on the abra across the Creek between the two areas.

Second day take the hop-on hop-off Big bus Tour to the new areas so you get some idea of the beaches, the new developments, the malls.

As Amir said, have a look at our Dubai pages here on VT for more detailed information.

thanks to all for detailed information and guidance. Now I'll plan my two days in better way. Thanks once again.

have a great time!

I advise you to go to Cairo or Muscat instead, , they are much betterthan Dubai , there nothing to see in Dubai.
