Spend a day by the shore being a beach bum

Dubai has a spectacular shoreline, meaning that there is no shortage of beaches where you and your friends can kick back, relax and soak up some sun.
Some of the most popular beaches include:
• Kite Beach – Like the name suggest, Kite Beach is where all the kite surfers go to indulge in their favourite sport. You and your friends have the option to sit on the beach and enjoy the water while watching all the of kite surfers do their thing, or you can try your hand at the sport yourself.
• JBR Beach – This gem runs along The Walk promenade and is very close to a number of restaurants, making it the ideal place to spend the whole day, as you will have easy access to food and drink. There are a number of shops in the area too, so make sure you stop at one of them and purchase an inflatable tube so that you can float in the water.
• Sunset Beach – This is most famous beach because of the beautiful view of the Burj Al Arab that can be seen from the golden sands. Always a hive of activity, this is one of the most beautiful stretches of sand you will come across in the city.
Learn something new
There is no better way to bond with your friends than over a cultural learning experience, and there is no better way to learn something new about the UAE than through a program run by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.
The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding has a number of activities, some of which include Heritage Tours, Cultural Meals, Cultural Awareness and visits to the Jumeirah Mosque, and taking part in any of these activities would be an amazing experience for both you and your friends as you will leave Dubai with new knowledge and a new understanding of the city.
Do something different while you are on holiday with your friends, indulge in fun and educational activities that will allow you to come away from your holiday with wonderful memories of the experiences you have encountered.
