Things to Do in Dubai This Weekend for Free

All the events happening this weekend in Dubai are undoubtedly entertaining. But what if you miss out on the seats at a few of those events?

Times like these make us realize the importance of activities that are free of charge and open to all.

To make your weekend getaway more fun, make sure that you add these free things to do in Dubai this weekend to your list:

The Dubai Mall

The Camel Museum

Camels have represented deserts for ages and continue to do so. As Dubai is also a desert region, there is a lot about Dubai that’s hidden in the interesting camel rides and the history of camels. The Camel Museum offers you a chance to learn more about camels and Dubai’s cultural background. Everyone’s trip to Dubai includes a visit to the world-famous landmarks. But you can make your holiday different by dropping by the Camel Museum, which is one of the indoor places to visit in Dubai for free.

Coffee has been classy and has been romanticized. But do you also agree that it is worth the romanticization? Coffee is so good that everyone, ranging from genius techies to divine artists, loves it. I am sure you are also a fan of it. If you are, you cannot miss a brief visit to the Coffee Museum because you will get closer to becoming a coffee expert after being at this place.
