Go for a swim in Mercato Beach

Mercato Beach, one of Dubai’s most relaxing beaches, is open for tourists. Located near the Mercato Mall, the beach may not be as popular as the famous Kite Beach. But that’s what makes it stand out, especially during times like this where social distancing is the norm. Less crowd, more beach. Who wouldn’t love that? Swim in the refreshing water or go for a picnic and experience Dubai’s beach life without the crowds. If you’re lucky you might even get the entire beach to yourself.

Shop in The Dubai Mall

Dubai is a shopping paradise and to visit the city without shopping is like going to a Michelin starred restaurant and ordering only water. One of the best and biggest malls in UAE, The Dubai Mall has opened its doors. This retail paradise is a safe haven. The mall conducts temperature checks, enforces social distancing rules, and masks policy strictly. Once inside, shop to your heart’s content at high-end brands, elegant Souks, and dine in world-class restaurants. All within one building. At the end of the day, you might never want to leave The Dubai Mall.

Visit Dubai Museums

Going to a place is not complete without visiting cultural centers like museums. Dubai prides itself on its rich heritage and culture. So, it comes as no surprise that some of the best museums in the world are in Dubai. The good news is that Dubai museums are reopening in a phased manner. The Jameel Arts Centre, one of Dubai’s best contemporary art centers is open on a pre-booking basis from 10 am to 6 pm daily except on Tuesday.
