Here are some lesser-known places to visit in and around Dubai. So, when you are in Dubai, make sure to visit these places that are worth to visit at least once.
Hatta Mountain Tour
If you are visiting Dubai and want to explore the hidden places of Dubai, then Hatta is the place for you. Hatta is a town and a municipality in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The town is located in the Hajar Mountains on the UAE-Oman border.
An interesting fact about this place is that it has more than 800 plant species with some endemic to its desert environment. There are also many rock formations found here that locals use as climbing walls or cliffs for jumping off into pools below.
Visit Hatta Water Dam that is surrounded with mountain rocks and greenery all around it with beautiful views from your hotel room window or balcony!
Museum of the Future
Located in the Dubai Museum of the Future Foundation, this museum is a futuristic building designed by British architect Norman Foster. The Museum of the Future in Dubai is the first of its kind in the Middle East and will provide an insight into how technology has shaped our lives over time. It aims to educate people about what lies ahead for them, so if you want to learn more about future trends such as autonomous cars or virtual reality headsets then this is a great place to start!
Miracle Garden Dubai
Miracle Garden Dubai is an indoor botanical garden located on the outskirts of Dubai. It is a great place to visit on a rainy day, or when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit. If you are looking for something that’s both educational, relaxing and fun – this is the place for you!
The garden features over 2 million flowers from all over the world growing in many different types of containers. You can walk through sections such as The Orchid Garden (featuring 12 acres of orchids), The Dahlia Garden (with more than 800 plants) and The Rose Garden which showcases more than 3,500 roses!
If you’re looking for some adventure while visiting Miracle Garden Dubai then try their zip line ride which connects two towers at 40m above ground level at speeds up to 30km/h!
Gold Souk Market in Dubai
The Dubai Gold Souk Market is a tourist attraction that has been around since the 19th century. It’s located in the Old City of Dubai, which is also known as Deira.
The market sells a variety of gold jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings. The prices are much lower than you would pay at other popular shopping destinations like Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates because it’s not a brand-name store but rather a local marketplace where people buy and sell used goods from one another.
If you visit this market during Ramadan (which happens every year from June 17 to July 17), it’s especially busy because this time is when many residents from surrounding countries do their annual pilgrimage back home to visit family members who live in Dubai (and elsewhere in Jordan). If you come during this time expect long lines into some shops due to increased demand for certain products such as perfume because everyone wants something nice for their loved ones back home!
Ras Al-Khaimah
Ras Al-Khaimah is a city in the United Arab Emirates, located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. It is one of seven emirates that make up the country and has a population of about 200,000 people.
The area has been inhabited for over 2,000 years by human beings from different ethnic backgrounds including the Jafar, Awamir and Bani Yas tribes. In 1820 AD, Ras Al Khaimah became an independent state from Sharjah under Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi who ruled until 1856 AD.
Today the Ras Al-Khaimah is known for some of the adventure tours like Jebel Jais Zipline. Experience the amazing view from the hilltop fort. Get an opportunity to visit one of the oldest pearl fishing villages.
