Unique Experiences In Dubai For Female Travellers

1. Venture In An Adventure

For adventure seekers, especially if you're a woman, Dubai will keep your adrenaline levels super high. In addition to the Ski Dubai, Edge Walking, and desert safari adventures, the zipline and night kayaking experience is truly one of a kind (and perfectly safe too). For fitness enthusiasts, you can also join the Dubai Fitness Challenge where you spare 30 minutes for a workout every day for 30 days. Enjoy playing your favourite sport at the multiple villages from 6th-24th November 2024.

2. Relax And Rejuvenate

For many women, vanity is sanity and lucky for most, Dubai is home to many state-of-the-art spas and rejuvenation centres. Unwind and relax your mind, body and soul with therapies like sauna and massages at some of the choicest wellness centres situated in luxury hotels or at independently located ones like Contrast Wellness. We recommend getting the red-light sauna therapy which has many benefits for the skin at the latter.

3. Shop Till You Drop

Dubai's shopping landscape doesn't need an introduction. But if you still need a cue to shop away till your heart's desire (and your wallet's capacity), then let this be the one. While the plush Dubai Mall is perhaps among the most iconic places to shop, local shopping avenues like the Souk Madinat have something to offer to all sorts of shoppers. The best time to visit this shopper's hub is during the Dubai Shopping Festival. This year, it marks the 30th edition with a live entertainment concert at the Coca-Cola Arena to kickstart the celebrations. The 30th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival will take place from 6th December 2024 - 12th January 2025.

4. Explore And Experience

More than the vibrancy of the city, Dubai is home to many undiscovered hubs. The Bait Al Banat Women's Museum is one such spot. Walk past the historical alleyways and learn about the role of women in the history of the UAE. The strategic location of it being at the heart of the Gold Souk in the old town makes for a stellar excuse to add a little glint to your holiday too.

5. Relish The Delish

Whatever one says about the culinary culture in Dubai isn't enough to throw light on the vastness of what's in store. Every cuisine imaginable, from celebrity-owned restaurants to international food chains, can be found in this cosmopolitan culinary capital. If you love solo dates or have your girls to sit, sip and savour, then Dubai will surely leave you coming back for more. TOTÓ Dubai, Berenjak, Fouquet's Dubai, Eugène Eugène, Lana Lusa, LOWE and Señor Pico are some of our favourites.

A Dubai holiday can be tailored for all travellers, especially for women seeking the experience of a lifetime.
