The Desert Classic at Emirates Golf club? Even if you are not into golf, you can spend a few hours there and it's not often you can see the famous golfers up that close on your doorstep.
I took them out for an amazing day on KiteBeach yesterday for the Dubai International Kit Fest....amazing day. I would recommend it if you haven't been to see the amazing kites.
Its at the Beach behind Sunset Mall.
Anyway, I think I've missed Ripe Market, as I believe its only Fridays, but is there anything else I could do today.
I need a nice family day out, something a little different.... They're so done with all the usual sightseeing places, they come to Dubai often.
Your ideas are welcome.
Have a great weekend everyone, check out Kite Fest if you haven't been ;)
