For exotic and souvenirs - to the markets!
Having traveled half the world or half the city, as anyone is lucky, it is impossible not to be tempted to hike in the many markets of Dubai, which are called "bitches" here. In the markets it is traditionally customary to haggle and acquire good goods at high quality prices. However, the latter is not at all as important as the process of walking in rows and exchanging courtesies with persistent sellers in their attempts to market.
Any woman, especially a newly-made wife, will be happy to take a tour of the "Golden Market", where items from around the world are in abundance. Sometimes here come across very interesting specimens of jewelry. The quantity of goods is so great that part of the mind responsible for the family budget of young people is disconnected from the glitter of gold and stones.
A visit to the "Product Market" can be an informative event in every way. Here you can not only taste exotic fruits born on different continents, and marvel at the amazing creation of nature of all shapes and colors. Here, in all its diversity, the main food of the Bedouins is presented, which for many centuries supported them in good health and good mood: dates, local and imported, occupy their worthy place in the shops of merchants, surprising with hundreds of varieties and species.
The local "Spice Market" is rich, colorful and fragrant: there are dozens of varieties of saffron alone! Silk from China and chiffon from India can be bought at the fabric market, and charming Indian beaded slippers, woolen and silk stoles and scarves, local clothes and souvenirs are sold at the Old Market in the historic Bastakia region. Often in bins of local shops interesting household items come across, antique and artificially aged. It is here that you can "buy" souvenirs to the eyeballs.
The gold, grocery and textile markets, as well as the spice market, are located next to each other in the Deira area. The old market is located on the other side of the Dubai Lagoon, where you can successfully cross from Deira in the local boat "Abra" for mere pennies. Budget: from zero to infinity, depending on appetites
During the winter - in the "refrigerator"
Being in the middle of the desert, one cannot help but be tempted to taste Dubai exoticism, setting off to conquer the snowy slope of one of the largest artificial ski resorts in the world, Ski Dubai. Perhaps it is in Dubai that you will conquer your first slide. In any case, a portion of the cold is well refreshing after busy wedding days.
Located in the Emirates largest shopping center, Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai, called by the jokers the largest Dubai refrigerator, is certainly not as good as an open-air resort, but the snow here is completely natural and is updated every night. You can ski and snowboard. All visitors are given full ammunition, with the exception of a hat.
Skiers and snowboarders are given the opportunity to have fun on their own. For "bunnies", that is, beginners, there are group and individual training.
If you have no desire to climb the mountain immediately after the wedding, even on a lift, at her knives you can play snowballs and go down the hill with the little one in Snow Park.

Behind the wings - into the air
A helicopter trip over the coast of Dubai, followed by an unlimited "feast of the stomach" in a restaurant on the island and relaxation under palm trees, ending with a limousine delivery to the hotel, can be a good way to spend time for lovers and their guests. If finances allow, do not deny yourself this adventure with many components, but you can do just flying.
Usually, up to four passengers are taken aboard a helicopter, destined to see how small Dubai is and how big the desert surrounding it is, what the famous “sail” Burj Al Arab looks like from the sea, and the future tallest building in the world, Burj Dubai from its current end, like beautiful waters of the Gulf and insignificant cars scurrying along the streets. The impressions received during half an hour of flight should be enough for a long time. The other program of the day and evening is shrouded in luxury and privacy.
This option is chosen by many newly created families as a sweet dessert for wedding celebrations, assure the organizers of helicopter tours at www.gulfventures.ae Budget: from $ 1000
Three options - negligible compared to what many-faced Dubai offers.
Options - a lot and you choose. Just do not forget that the exchange of kisses on people in the Emirates can lead to unpleasant communication with law enforcement officers.
