Full of many surprises at every turn, Dubai makes you wish you had many more days at your disposal to explore and enjoy it. We list 5 offbeat things to do on your next visit.
Is there anyone in the world who does not wish to visit Dubai? For all its glossy sheen and global outlook, Dubai retains its simple, homely origins as well. But if you are tired of the usual touristy things to do, try out these unusual activities to do in Dubai:
* Book yourself into a luxury resort. Habitual travellers know that the best way to spend your time in this wonderful city is to start by booking yourself into a luxury resort. A luxury resort fronted by a private beach and fitted with every modern convenience can work wonders for your holiday. There are a few superb options in luxury resorts in Dubai – do book yourself in one this year.
* Smash ‘em silly. They say that violence is never good, but don’t you sometimes feel like you want to hit something really hard to relieve your frustration? That is precisely why the Smash Room was set up at Umm Suqeim Street so that you could beat your frustrations away without hurting anyone else. It’s like a picnic for the livid! The Smash Room is an actual setting with a living room feel – there is old furniture, TV sets, laptops, and other things you would find around the house. Choose your weapon, get that evil glint in your eyes, and get started.
* Watch a film outdoors. Cinephiles, take note. All of April is dedicated to good world cinema in an outdoor setting at the Reform Social & Grill. They host a free weekly movie night in the large orchard area every Tuesday in April. From musicals to tear-jerking drama, you can catch the best of world cinema. There are good eats and offers on drinks to partake of as well.
* Visit a farmer’s market. Find one of the most fun activities to do in Dubai’s The Yard at Al Khawaneej. It blends a rural farm environment with an urban setting. Walk in to find a rustic courtyard, a charming bakery, a farmer’s market, and several shaded walkways where you can explore the area and check out the street art on display. There’s a space where you can hang ‘love locks’ too!
* You have been framed. This is one of the city’s relatively new landmarks. The Dubai Frame comprises two towers that are 150 metres tall. The two are connected by a 93-metre glass ‘bridge’ which you can access via an elevator. Stand on the bridge and enjoy the kind of panoramic view of the city that you have never witnessed before. When you’re done taking in the sights, head to the ground floor museum that showcases the city’s genesis from a fishing village to a global city.
