Bahrain Export Enhancement Program

Dubai...........?

My folks are planning to take a trip to Dubai,Oman,Bahrain & those places. I have been to Dubai countless of times. I was just wondering what there is to do there now. I have some friends who are now working there & who are living there. I have done the jet skies,shopping & that what else is there to do???? One of my friends might also be coming up at the same time (the one my folks are not really fond of,I think because of his status & that). SO might be out with him sometimes but what else is there to do??????? Any ideas???

Hi I enjoyed it there too, why not try the new large ski slope or there is a water park near the Burj al Arab or take a desert safari in a 4x4 or simply sunbate and enjoy the heat!
mate !! what a question ! theres endless things to do in dubai and surrounding areas.... dune bashing, desert safari, shopping, ski-dubai, night life, wild wadi, arrange a night in the desert (tour companies do that), visiting gold souk gorgeous beaches - visit the parks the beaches are lovely and they have good facilities - jumeirah park, mamzar park etc and you can even arrange scuba diving / snorkelling lessons off muscat and khor fakkan ... although word of warning - traffic has gone CRAAAZY in dubai so allow plenty of time between malls etc... and avoid peak hours on the road if you can..... have fun !
In Dubai, besides of going to beach and do shopping you can visit wild wadi for Arabian-themed water park, if you want to experience snow ski in the desert heat, try the indoor ski slope, there are plenty of bars and clubs so you can hang out or have a bit of shisha in arabic cafe. In Oman, if you'll go to Muscat, the environment will be almost the same as in Dubai, but the different will the the environtment, the people will be more friendly and helpfull. Scuba Diving will be one best option, they have a very beautifull underwater view. Try to go to Salalah (more nature and cool weather -- destination for gateway of their overheated summer), as every year they have this Salalah festival. In Bahrain, you can go diving, visit "tree of life", watch horse racing etc. Mostly in this 3 country it will be almost the same experience, it's better if you plan your holiday, so that u dont miss out the things that you can do there. Try this link below and find out what you can do more there. Good Luck and have fun!!
Check out The Dubai City Guide for things to do in Dubai at http://www.dubaicityguide.com/main/index.asp Why not try parasailing or a trip over the desert in a hot air balloon or a little wadi bashing.
