Edit This
Following is a list of United Arab Emirates must do’s that you just shouldn't miss during your vacation.

1. Beaches

The beaches of UAE are one of the popular tourist destinations. A visit to the beach is highly recommended if you are traveling along with your family. The beaches are known for their cleanliness and clear water. You can also enjoy long walks on the stretches of these white sand beaches. Snorkeling and diving are two activities you can indulge in during your time at the beach. You can get the diving gear on rent. However, avoid venturing too far into the water if you are a novice. If you want privacy, it is recommended that you pay for a one-day entry pass to a private beach.

2. The Burj Khalifa

A trip to UAE is incomplete without a visit to the recently inaugurated Burj Khalifa. This magnificent structure is the tallest man-made skyscraper in the world. The monument was inaugurated on the 4th of January, 2009. Don't forget to carry your camera to capture the images. You can also spend some quiet time at the Burj Khalifa Park. The design of the park resembles the desert flower, Hymenocallis. This park consists of six water fountains, gardens, palm lined walkways and beautiful trees. Visit the park in the evening to get a glimpse of the water room, which consists of a series of pools and water jet fountains.

3. Ski Dubai in Dubai Emirates Mall

Ski Dubai was inaugurated in December, 2005. This is the world's largest indoor ski slope. This ski slope is around 400 meters and is covered with 6,000 tons of snow. You don't have to carry any additional skiing equipment; snowboards, snowsuits, boots and socks are included in the entry fees. You can also take home memorabilia with you, which are available at the souvenir store.

4. Shopping

UAE is also famous for the vast number of shopping malls. Many people come here every year just for shopping. You can time your visit to coincide with the annual Dubai shopping festival, which is held from mid-January to mid-February.

5. Liwa Oasis

United Arab Emirates is also known for the largest sand dunes in the world. You can explore the desert in Tal Mireb. This large dune is usually used for 4x4 racing competitions. A visit to the Tal Mireb is a must, if you want to capture some beautiful pictures of the desert life.
