Best Dubai Day trips and tours
5 Day Trips from Dubai - Safari, water park, ballooning & beach
While on holiday in Dubai, tourists should take some time out to visit popular attractions in and around the region. Here are five ideas for day trips from Dubai.
1. Go on a Desert Safari – The desert is a major part of Dubai’s landscape, and tourists can sign up for tours that will take you to see the picturesque sand dunes by car. These tours also offer camel rides and visits to Bedouin villages as part of the package. A desert safari day trip will help you see a side of Dubai that is otherwise concealed by its cosmopolitan city life.
2. Go Ballooning – Dubai’s climate makes ballooning an excellent option. Ballooning tours are immensely popular with locals and tourists alike for the 
various views they offer of the region; be it the sand dunes or the Dubai city skyline.
3. Wild Wadi Water Park –This state-of-the-art theme park in Dubai is spread over twelve acres and features over thirty rides including the Jumeirah Scierah. Wild Wadi Water Park also has an artificial beach situated at Breakers Bay, which is fun for the whole family.
4. Visit Big Red – The highest sand dune in Dubai, with over one hundred feet of sand to its credit, the Big Red dune is where most adventure sport enthusiasts in Dubai come to ride around in dune buggies and four wheel drives. Even if you do not feel the need to participate, making the trip to Big Red and being a part of the excitement is worth a trip.
5. Spend a few hours on Jebel Ali Beach – One of the most pristine beaches in Dubai, this beach which runs along dunes and the Dubai coastline is a haven for certain breeds of turtles and whales. A trip down to Jebel Ali is extremely worthwhile. However, do remember to get a permit from the government before you make the trip.
