“Skip the mall aquarium — the Dubai Creek abra ride at sunset is 1 AED and ten times more magical. Go just before maghrib.”
“For real Emirati food, find Al Marsa in Khorfakkan — grilled hammour straight off the boats, no tourist markup.”
“Drive up Jebel Jais for the sunset even if you don't zipline. The viewing decks near the top are free and freezing — bring a jacket!”
“Snoopy Island at low tide: you can almost wade out. Bring reef shoes and your own snorkel to save the rental.”
“The old town is tiny but go for the coral-stone houses and the calmest lagoon in the UAE. Pack a picnic, there's little nearby.”
