Q. i'd be in Dubai for 4d/3n this coming May. Can somebody tell me what to do, which place to go for some shopping and leisure?
Answer
You can also ask this at the Dubai section.
If you can afford it, stay in one of the hotels in Medinat Jumeirah, Dubai Marina or the newly opened Atlantis. Dubai is all about luxury.
Here are my recommendations for places of interest:
1) MEDINAT JUMEIRAH to see the landmark Burj Al Arab hotel, wander through the indoor souq of Medinat for antiques and exotic souvenir, enjoy lebanese food and shisha at one of the restaurants fronting the lovely creek or treat yourself to an expensive meal at the Al Qasr Hotel or Burj Al Arab (underwater / top floor)
2) Take a "palm cruise" in traditional arabian boat (called dhow) to see the famous palm-shaped landscape
3) View the biggest aquarium in the world and have fun at the water park at the Atlantis hotel
4) Global Village with showcase of different cultures and plenty more exotic shopping
5) Take a daytrip to the desert for sand dune bashing, dinner in bedouine camp and a good belly dance show
6) Beach out at Dubai Marina, get some spa treatment at one of the hotels. Better yet, stay in one of them. I had a great time at Haptoor Grand.
7) Take a peek at Old Dubai. Walk along / cruise the creek, enjoy authentic arabian cuisine, get lost in the old Diera Souq
8) Mall of the Emirates with indoor ski and lots of great shopping
9) Check out the brand new Dubai Mall right next to the really tall building 'Burj Dubai' under construction. I haven't been there but it must be awesome
Dubai's a really fun place if you aren't touring alone.

what good places should i visit in Dubai ????

Answer
If you visit Dubai in Summer you will end up in a mall for sure.
The Mall of the Emirates is a must see because of the Ski-Dome that you can see from within the mall.
The last opened mall in Dubai is Festival City (close to the airport). This is my favorite one. Lots of top fashion brands and a nice spacy design. Second I like the smaller Ibn Battuta Mall because of the 'street like' atmosphere.
If you like 'history rising' you should pass by the Burj Dubai, not finished yet but already the tallest building in the world. Drive up the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah and go to the iconic 7* Burj Al Arab hotel for dinner or a drink (starts around $ 60)
A desert safari is also ok in summer. They pick you up at 16.00 (airconditioned cars), when the sun is going down you will meet at a desert camp for barbeque and entertainment and you are back at your hotel around 22.00. The Big Bus tour is nice, but I heard there is no airconditioning. So be carefull what time of the day you go (better to avoid rush hour too).
Another must do is taking an abra across the Creek and visit the Gold Souk in Deira. You can finish this day with a Dinner Cruise at the Creek.
