Activities across the seven emirates — everything we have recorded. The ones we have visited carry a price and a verdict; the rest are records we have not checked yet, and each one says so.
Things to do rather than things to look at: desert safaris, diving and snorkelling, kayaking through the mangroves, waterparks, hiking on Jebel Jais, karting and the indoor sports that make a UAE summer survivable. Entries state the price band, how long the activity actually takes including transfers, and what the upsells are — because on a desert safari in particular, the advertised price and the price you leave having paid are rarely the same number. Where an operator’s safety record or equipment is the deciding factor, the entry says what to check before booking.
