The Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) holds basic Arabic lessons and activities to introduce visitors to the customs of the United Arab Emirates.

Marvel at Dubai’s architectural feats. The twisting Cayan Tower, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, and the Palm Jumeirah are all marvels of engineering and innovation. Downtown Dubai is home to the world-famous Dubai Mall, a shopper’s paradise and a must-see for the world’s largest choreographed fountain and indoor ice rink.

Beyond the city’s glittering skyline, the desert beckons. Golden hues stretch endlessly, inviting you to ride camels, sandboard sandy slopes, or race across the dunes in 4x4s. In the evening, a falconry demonstration before dining under the stars on authentic Bedouin cuisine, surrounded by the vastness of the desert. For a different side of Dubai, head to Hatta. The Hajar Mountains are the perfect terrain for hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. Explore the heritage village and learning about the emirate's rural past, or simply take in the tranquillity.

Whether you’re exploring the vibrant streets or venturing into the desert, Dubai captivates at every turn. From its world-class attractions to its traditional roots, it never fails to impress.
