<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To be honest, we’re too lucky living in Dubai.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sun shines\u00a0most days, we live on a coast line with some jaw-droppingly beautiful beaches, our parks are like no-other and lest we forget the sprawling desert that offers an epic range of activities.<\/p>\n

Here are ten FREE\u00a0things you need to get done while the weather is still good.<\/p>\n

10. Check out the beautiful\u00a0birds at Ras Al Khor<\/h3>\n

This is free during the day and absolutely one of the lesser shouted about, but excellent free activities in the city!<\/p>\n

The wildlife sanctuary, which covers an area of 6km, is home to thousands of birds, mammals and fish but it’s the flamingos that people love to snap. The area is protected, however there are viewing spots open to the public during the day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Al Qudra biking tracks<\/h3>\n

Yup, you need a bike, but this is a fantastic facility open to all Dubai residents and tourists alike. 50km of quality track, and if you rise early, this is one great sport you can keep doing all summer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
