Get a feel for Dubai's real heritage in the old markets of Bur Dubai. Catch a local boat (Abra) negotiate an hourly rate and have it to yourself to hope on and off at various points along the waterfront. It's alive with Dhows, traders and commuters - must do!

If you have young kids, they will love this place. It's a drive into the next Emirate (35mins) but worth it. It costs peanut to get in, you'll be amazed at this incredible wildlife centre.
Perfect for hot days as it's all built indoors!
