Only Dubai Can Surpass Dubai! Having a Blast Solo in Dubai
Whether you're planning a spontaneous solo trip, or want to carve out some private time during a family or friends trip to Dubai, this extravagant city can meet your needs. Even alone, you can have a blast!
Since the late 1990s, the Dubai government has continuously invested in large-scale urban infrastructure, with record-breaking buildings springing up in the city center. Although there is always some skepticism about safety in Middle Eastern countries, Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world, allowing you to explore freely and worry-free even without a travel companion.
The Burj Khalifa is arguably one of Dubai’s most eye-catching structures. Climb to the observation decks on the 124th and 125th floors, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoy a stunning 360-degree view of the city, desert, and ocean. Besides being the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa holds many world records, including the building with the most floors, the highest occupied floor, and the elevator with the longest travel distance. It is truly an 'involution master' in the construction industry!
If the view from the Burj Khalifa makes you crave time in the desert, get moving! Take a four-wheel drive through the dunes, then try riding a camel across the sand. And before you return to the bustling Dubai city center, you’ll have the chance to try sandboarding!
For those who struggle to wake up early, a desert safari and Dubai barbecue dinner might be a better choice. Head to the desert to watch the sunset, observing the fascinating changes of shadows below the horizon as the sun goes down. And there are more fun activities to come! You can dine on the ground like locals, and try henna painting, shisha pipes, and belly dancing!
Being alone at the beach might feel out of place in other cities, but Dubai’s beaches won’t make you uncomfortable. Some beaches even have lockers for visitors to store their belongings, so you don’t have to constantly worry about leaving your items unattended.
In addition to sunbathing on the beach, you can also enjoy a special Dubai Marina dinner cruise. Departing from Dubai Marina, take a traditional dhow for a two-hour dinner cruise. Along the way, you’ll admire the stunning night views of the city skyline and brightly lit skyscrapers.
As the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is just a few hours’ drive from downtown Dubai, making it ideal for a short stop for independent travelers. A hop-on hop-off bus can quickly give you a feel for the city! Along the way, with an audio guide, you can learn more about the history and culture of Abu Dhabi while comfortably enjoying the beautiful street views.
If you're interested in history, head to the Al Fahidi Historical District along Dubai Creek to explore the old Dubai of the mid-19th century. This is one of Dubai's most important cultural heritage sites, where you can see many well-preserved old infrastructure.
Traveling alone may not be easy for many, but choosing the right city can help you better enjoy the trip. Whatever type of journey you seek, Go City Pass is always ready for your travels, ensuring every trip is serendipitous and leaves you wanting more!
