If you visit Dubai, you will have the opportunity to enjoy several free things to do, such as visiting the Coffee Museum, enjoying the art at Alserkal Avenue, lounging on the beaches and more.
If you happen to love coffee or desire to know more about this globally popular beverage, the Coffee Museum Dubai would be the place to go. Situated in the neighbourhood of Al Fahidi, this establishment will provide you with the chance to gain an understanding of coffee's history whilst also displaying an engrossing selection of artefacts related to coffee. Here, you will find books about coffee, coffee-related advertising, demonstrations of coffee roasting and more.
Contrary to what many people think, Dubai doesn't only feature skyscrapers and malls. It also boasts diverse and interesting cultural attractions such as Alserkal Avenue. You will find that the gallery district of Al Quoz can be entered free of charge, providing you with the opportunity to stroll through any of its galleries, concept spaces and shops. Later, you could enjoy a cool glass of juice or a hot drink at a nearby coffee shop.
Visitors will find several attractive beaches in Dubai which you could enjoy free of charge. Some of these popular coastal hotspots would be JBR Beach, Umm Suqeim Park Beach and Kite Beach Dubai. JBR Beach also offers attractions for children and you could spend as little or as much as you would like at the cafes, restaurants and shops that are located in the vicinity of this area. At these beaches, you could while away the time watching people, soaking up the sun and taking dips in the water.
You may have already seen the numerous flamingos as you passed by the Ras Al Khor area; however, you will have the opportunity to observe these entrancing creatures at a much closer range if you choose to visit the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. At this wildlife haven, you will be able to conceal yourself in a bird hide and observe the flamingos through binoculars. Entrance to the sanctuary will be free of charge and children too will be captivated by this unique experience.
If you appreciate interesting religious attractions, make your way to the striking Bur Dubai Grand Mosque which will be an interesting experience as well. At this mosque, you could enjoy a free of charge tour whilst the traditional neighbourhood in which the mosque stands will also be an interesting area to explore. You will find that the guides here are very knowledgeable about this mosque and the faith of Islam. If you are planning to visit such attractions and looking for well-located hotels in Dubai, Deira offers an ideal base for your travels; an accommodation choice to consider here would be the Avani Deira Dubai Hotel within easy reach of this mosque.
Should you be able to get hold of a bicycle and helmet (bike rentals are available) you will have the chance to go cycling at the Al Qudra cycling track which can be accessed free of charge. As you cycle along this vast track on some pedal-powered adventures, you may be able to spot a camel or even perhaps an oryx with the expanses of the desert as a backdrop!
