Beyond the glitz of Dubai, there lies another side of Dubai, a side which many people have never experienced: the desert.  You can easily have a blast during weekend by exploring the breathtaking beauty of the desert. The most popular activity you can partake in while on a desert safari is the roller coaster ride. A four-wheeler passes over the rugged terrain while allowing you to enjoy the sublime desert scenery. These excursions can be arranged for afternoons or evenings, but if you want the best adventure package, consider camping at night in the open desert.
Visiting a Bedouin campsite is another activity you can enjoy in the desert. In fact, most tourists head there to ride camels and pump their adrenaline levels by sand boarding. At night, you are welcome to a mouthwatering barbecued meal, which is more enticing when belly dancers sway gracefully to heat up the atmosphere. However, don’t count on getting all of this if you choose an inexpensive package. So, make sure to ask about what you’ll get beforehand. Find out more information on Desert Safari’s in Dubai.

For sports lovers, Dubai is a blessing. Dubai offers you plenty of sporting activities to refresh your mind after having a tiring week at work.  Whether you like flexing your muscles while kayaking or prefer stretching your back skating, all you need is the right equipment and a guide to one of Dubai’s sports centers and clubs.  On the other hand, if you are a professional cyclist and like pushing yourself to the extreme, you can try the Spinney’s Dubai 92 cycles challenge, which covers almost all the famous places of Dubai. These sports aside, there are numerous football grounds, cricket stadiums, tennis courts, basketball courts, and golf courses sprawled across Dubai. So, simply ask a friend and drive to one of these to feel energy surge through your veins.

The Hot Air Balloon rides promise a great adventure. These are perhaps the best thing to do during winters in Dubai. To experience the mesmerizing landscape from a gently floating balloon is something only Dubai can offer. If this interests you, consider hiring Balloon Adventures Emirates’ services. Their package is quite good, especially since it includes pick and drop from your home. See some videos and get more info on Desert Balloon Rides.

Family Weekend Activities

The last thing you have to worry about in Dubai is having trouble in finding something to do with your family. In Dubai, there are a lot of options which you can pick for the perfect outing. Here are a few things that can make a good weekend with your family:
  • A Trip to Wild Wadi – Wild Wadi is perhaps the best place in Dubai to spend a weekend with your family. Located at the Jumeirah Beach in front of the mighty Burj Al Arab, this is the only themed amusement park of UAE.
  • Dive in Aquaventure – As the biggest waterpark in Gulf, this place doesn’t disappoint. There are slides, rides, tropical landscapes and a children play area among other attractions. Your fun here is completely unlimited, which is why you yourself may want to come back even if your family are too tired to do so.
  • Skydive Indoors at iFly – For an absolutely thrilling weekend, the Skydive Indoors at iFly is perfect. The skydive simulator is definitely worth a try. If you’re doing this for the first time, a bit of pre-training is required. However, once you master this, you will love it and do it over and over.
Dubai Aquarium – Boating through the world’s largest aquarium will allow you to see amazing creatures that you probably have never spotted aside from National Geographic TV Channel. Located at the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Aquarium is ideal for families trying to spend their weekends with a variety of water creatures.
  • Free Kids’ Food at Spur – This is a must-go place with your younger kids. This South-African restaurant offers some of the tastiest burgers for kids. In addition, kids also get coloring sheets, crayons, balloons and other things to play with.
  • Watch a Movie from the Pool – There can’t be a better start to a weekend than watching a movie with your family alongside a pool. So, get your seats booked at the Desert Palm for the next weekend.
  • Paint Pictures – Let your children unleash their creativity through painting. Take them to one of Dubai’s elaborate art studios, such as Little Jammers, and have a painting session for them.
  • Relax at the Beach – Dubai offers complete seclusion and relaxation on some of its beaches. You may, however, require membership of Madinat Jumeirah to access private beaches with your family.
KidZania - Take your kids to KidZania to make them experience their career interests firsthand. Children can watch or take part in different activities such as firefighting, stage performances, firefighting role, and other career-oriented professions.
