The 15 best things you have to do in Dubai

“We spent two weeks in incredible Dubai and discovered the fun things to see and do in the largest city in the UAE are endless. As you explore this amazing city, get used to things being the largest, tallest, fastest, and most spectacular in the world. Everything is pretty new, often futuristic, but we also found a charming old side during our trip and put our favorites together in a list. From the Miracle Garden with 15,000 butterflies to the half-mile-high Burj Khalifa to desert safaris, it’s a list we wish we’d had to work from when we arrived.”
