Surfers find immense joy in spending time at this beach. Many water sports activities are present year-round along Kite Beach. Since Dubai’s weather is sunny most of the year, beach lovers will find paradise on these sands.

Moreover, the coast is not packed with sun bathers but filled with scenic views of the sail ships floating around the Arabian Gulf. Consequently, it’s truly a magical experience to get to see all of these life-filled activities in one place.

Dubai pays a huge tribute to the Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta. Moreover, many historical Arabic figures are discussed along the walls and monuments of the mall.

Ibn Battuta Mall has several courts, each with a distinct identity that is reflective of a particular country of which the traveller has visited. For example, you may find a huge elephant in India Court and a giant dragon will meet you at China Court. Also, don’t forget to check the Amulets of the Pharaohs in Egypt Court. The venue is air-conditioned, but will give the feeling of having an outdoor experience.

This place might be one of the most underrated spots in Dubai. Business Bay is an architectural marvel displaying the ingenuity of modern engineering in the Middle East.

The beauty of Business Bay lies in the uniformity of the odd shapes that constitute each block. This area is very close to downtown Dubai overlooking Burj Khalifa and is bordered by a lovely water canal for ultimate relaxation.
