Visiting the UAE is a wonderful experience that everyone should try at least once. The food, the people and the lifestyle are out of this world at times. But, like all places, the United Arab Emirates can get a little dull after a two-week stint. For holiday-goers, it’s no problem because most people jet off back home within 14 days. Travelers can find it problematic as they spend more time in one place. As always, the question becomes: “How do I beat boredom?”
Plenty of world explorers will have answers. For example, some men and women like to sit at a table, drink coffee and watch the world pass by. In Dubai, there is nothing easier or more relaxing. But, if you’re the type of person that gets itchy feet, it’s essential to mix up the days and try new activities.
With that in mind, the following are the best ways to beat boredom in Dubai. Enjoy!

Indoor Parks
The heat is so intense in the Middle East that people can’t go outdoors. From a boredom point of view, this makes the situation even worse. Well, that is until you realize the King is on the ball. Not one to be fooled by the summer heat, the infrastructure throughout the Emirate is based inside to avoid the sun. So, parks are accessible with air conditioning in Dubai. Therefore, you can go bowling, swimming and ice-skating without sweating to death. With iFly, it’s even possible to go skydiving. Yep, you guessed it – it’s indoors too! The only thing that isn’t possible is a safari but that could change. All you have to do is jump in a taxi from A to B and the heat won’t be a factor. Even if it’s only a five-minute walk, you should hail a cab.
Hire A Car
Not to be rude, but you can always leave Dubai and explore the rest of the country. Abu Dhabi is only 90 miles away and is home to the Yas Marina. During November, it’s difficult to find a parking space or to enter because of the Formula One. Of course, you can buy a ticket and spend four days watching cars race around the track. If that isn’t an option, just drive on down when the likes of Hamilton and Alonso aren’t in town and check it out in relative peace. Try Ferrari World if you’re a Formula 1 fanatic. Aside from AB, there’s Sharjah which is a lot more cultural and traditional than the other two. Here, you will find the Sharjah Fort, a former palace-turned-museum, and the Heritage Area. Anyone that wants to experience local UAE, this is the place. Finally, you can hit the highways and drive out into the desert because the Arab Emirates is a safe country. Just be sure to take enough fuel.
Stay In The Hotel
You like to get out and about, but sometimes it’s nice to relax. Thankfully, the resorts have everything a guest needs to spend their time ‘productively. Almost all of them have rooftop pools that are open until the sun goes down, so a day in the water is an option. Plus, the customer service is excellent and you can order food and drinks. Or, there are bars with sports and alcohol.
Do you get bored while traveling? What are your methods to beat the monotony?
