While Dubai offers a practically unending list of places to explore and things to do, the city's spirited vibe can sometimes become overwhelming. Thankfully, you don't have to go too far for a refreshing change of pace. Consider taking these short day trips to explore some wonderful places that are outside Dubai's glitzy cityscape, but still within the Emirate.


Hatta

Nestled in the Hajar Mountains near the border with Oman, the tranquil village of Hatta offers a delightful escape from the high-energy intensity of Dubai. Historically a part of the neighboring country of Oman, Hatta was transferred to Dubai in the 1850s. Visitors can know more about its history as well as the historic lifestyle of the emiratis at the Hatta Heritage Village. Thanks to its location, Hatta is a major draw for hikers as well as mountain biking enthusiasts. The spectacular Hatta Lake is another popular attraction, beckoning visitors to kayak on its crystal clear waters. For the more adventurous souls, the Hatti Wadi Hub offers a host of adrenaline-pumping activities from rope courses and freefall jumping to downhill carting.

Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve

Undulating sands, scenic wetlands, and shrublands characterize the striking landscape of the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. Enticing outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers with opportunities for wildlife viewing and recreational activities such as cycling, the expansive natural area serves as an ideal retreat away from the urban bustle of Dubai. Those inclined to the study of nature and wildlife will revel in the glimpses of an array of species which thrive within the area's bounds. Prominent among these are flamingoes and the Arabian oryx as well as rarer species such as the Egyptian Nightjar. Come night, the sky transforms into a twinkling canopy, enabling exhilarating stargazing sessions.

Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Jumeirah is so amazing and unique it can be defined as Dubai's emblem. A beautiful Island that is connected to Dubai's mainland by thin strips of road, it is man made, which adds to its uniqueness. The island was created using reclaimed land and has been crafted in the shape of a palm tree, hence the name. The land consists of 16 leaf-like pathways, denoted by an alphabet, with a dome surrounding it. Construction work commenced in 2001 and went on for 5 years. Finally towards the end of 2006, this marvelous landmark was opened for commercial activities and tourism. A trip to the city is incomplete without a visit to Palm Jumeirah.
