Welcome to the best value tourist attraction in Dubai, where the history of UAE sleeps. The Creek is one of the most famous historical sites in Dubai frequently visited by tourists. This saltwater creek runs through the middle separating the Bur Dubai and Deira areas of Dubai. It is, in fact, a focal point of the city, which lets the tourists enjoy the hustle and bustle of its goings-on. Abra ride is a famous touristy thing on this side, and a trip on abra in Creek costs just one AED. However, these creek rides are a part of historic trade routes to locations to and from Dubai. The Creek has museums, textile and Gold souqs, and traditional Abras that do the transit job in the saltwater estuary. Sabsan Holiday is providing Dhow cruise services in this saltwater estuary. Our cruise will take you to almost all the major destinations on the creekside. We have entertainment activities such as music and dance programs, along with scrumptious dinner on board.

This strip of sandy white bliss is the number one beach destination for Dubai visitors. Hotels are strung out all along its length, with this being one of the most popular places to stay for tourists. The beach has excellent facilities, with plenty of sun loungers, restaurants, and water sports operators offering jet skiing. While in the area, brush off the sand for an hour and visit the Majlis Ghorfat Um Al-Sheef, just a short hop from the beach. Built in 1955, this was the summer residence of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al-Maktoum. The residence, made out of gypsum and coral-block, has been restored and maintains much of the original beautiful decor, giving you a better understanding of the opulent lifestyle of Dubai’s rulers. The Majlis Gardens feature a reproduction of an impressive Arab irrigation system and many shady date palms.

Another important reason to visit Dubai is the World EXPO 2020. That will be a sight to behold! Among those who have confirmed they’re involved are 190 different countries, as well as several major businesses and educational institutions. Major attendees include the UK, which plans to showcase British “innovation, creativity and leadership” at its enormous pavillion, which is shaped like a shell and features a poem on its stunning 20-metre high facade. The US is expected to spend $60 million (around Dhs220m) on its space, which will display modern graphics and feature a hyperloop ride. Moving over to the GCC, Saudi Arabia has revealed a pavillion the size of two football pitches.
