Activities

Plenty of water sports, including jet-skiing, water-skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling and deep-sea fishing are offered by dozens of operators.

It costs a fortune to maintain the greens, but golfing is a huge draw and Dubai has most of the Arabian Peninsula's courses. If it's too hot to don the requisite collared shirt and slacks, consider a visit to the slides at Wild Wadi Waterpark or one of the city's two indoor ice skating rinks. Dozens of health clubs make working out a breeze.

The Dubai Explorer or What's On have more comprehensive listings of the the city's activities and organisations.
