Best Free Things to Do in Dubai
In a city, dubbed as the fastest growing city in the world, there are a few hidden secrets.Take an Abra Ride on the Creek. The traditional way to cross the creek is by water taxi, known as an abra. These little motorized boats connect Deira and Bur Dubai and have been ferrying passengers back and forth for decades. The price is negligible.
Go to the Jumeirah Beach. Dubai has a number of excellent public beaches. They are clean, safe for swimming and family friendly.
Walk in Creekside Park. Creekside Park offers waterfront pathways, botanical gardens, playgrounds, picnic sites and a children’s educational theme park.
Window Shop. You don’t have to spend any money to enjoy Dubai’s incredible array of shopping. A walk through the souks is as much a cultural as a shopping experience.
Visit Bastakiya. There is no cost to walk through the historic quarter of Dubai, a fascinating representation of what Dubai looked like at the beginning of the 20th century.
Visit ’The Walk’, located at Jumeirah Beach Residence. This is the place to visit on weekends and enjoy the stroll round the ’Covent Garden’ market.
Finally, for a few dollars take the tram ride at the Palm Island and see one of the modern world’s finest man made wonders!
