UAE: 10 Unmissable Things To Do In 2022

The new year is here, and we’re naturally considering our goals for 2022. It might be tough to narrow down a specific list of activities in the UAE. As there are numerous amazing things to do. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the most recent and exciting things to do in the UAE. We implemented this list based on current happenings that we are aware of. Here are 10 unmissable things to do in the UAE.

1. Go Glamping In The Stunning Eco-Pods

Al Jubail Island in Abu Dhabi has unveiled a brand new camping area. Along with a range of interesting eco-pods. We got a sneak peek at the project back in February of last year. But Pura Eco Retreat is now up for business and accepting reservations. It’s a luxurious, one-of-a-kind camping experience. But it’s not cheap. Rooms start at Dhs1,800 per night (with breakfast).

2. Participate In UAE’s Largest Yoga Event

Pull your yoga pants on to meditate. Things are about to get peaceful. The organisers of this year’s YogaFest Dubai are going big this year. They have arranged a three-day event in Internet City Amphitheatre. Numerous yoga, meditation, and sound healing workshops will take place. In addition to this, local merchants and food stalls are also available. Tickets are Dhs95 for a single day or Dhs150 for the entire weekend.

3. Discover The Museum Of The Future

The Museum of the Future was first announced in 2015. It is an architectural wonder. The exterior has Arabic calligraphy. Also, it looks like the eye-shaped, hollowed down in the centre. Unlike typical museums, this one will focus on sci-tech & innovation of the future.

4. Go For Brunches On Saturdays And Sundays

It made headlines all across the world. The UAE declared last month that its weekend’s changes to Saturday and Sunday. Plus Friday afternoons are reserved for government entities. This implies that most venerable institutions might supplant their Saturday breakfast and Sunday roasts.

5. Enjoy A New Toboggan Ride On Jebel Jais

On top of the UAE’s tallest mountain peak, Jais Sledder joins Jais Wings (the GCC’s first dedicated paragliding site). Also in the line is Jais Swing (a wonderful ride for the ‘Gram). Earth Altitude, an eco-based pop-up hotel, Jais Yard gourmet village and Cloud7 Camp sustainable glamping experience, are all set to launch soon.

6. Visit The Gigantic Snow Park In Abu Dhabi

The “almost finished” Snow Abu Dhabi will take the form of an enchanted forest. Found within Reem Mall, Snow Abu Dhabi covers a 100,000 square foot space. Snow Abu Dhabi has various fanciful zones. It offers a variety of rides, attractions, and slides that take you on a cross-country experience. The snow-dusted pine trees and sparkling lights are eye-catching.

7.  Witness The Closure Of Expo 2020 Dubai

It’s tough to fathom we’re halfway through the World’s Greatest Show. Amid all this virus scare, Expo Dubai 2020 will be an unforgettable experience. While the teams are keeping their last performances a secret, you can bet they’ll go out with a bang. In the meanwhile, take advantage of Expo 2020 while you still can.

8. Attend Ultra Music Festival In UAE

Ultra Music Festival will finally make its UAE debut in the coming months. In March 2020, Ultra’s initial attempt to grow into the Middle East came to a halt. The Covid-19 prompted the festival’s collapse. The construction for the two-day event in Abu Dhabi was almost complete. The event will is set to return in 2022. But we don’t know if it will be held in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. The event would hold a lineup of fist-pumping, pyro-loving EDM superstars.

9. Explore Dubai’s New Neighbourhood

The remarkable seaside area of Dubai Harbour juts out into the ocean alongside Barasti. It’s a spot you shouldn’t miss out on. It’s not just the region’s largest marina, but it’s also a cruise port. It provides a variety of dining and retail options opening throughout the year. We’ve had our eyes on Addmind’s new bar and brasserie Bar Du Port. Also the upmarket seafood restaurant L’Amo Bistro Del Mare is a must-visit.
