Where to take your friend in Dubai, no matter what their personality

Whether you've been here for a while or just finished up setting up home, there's nothing like the feeling of showing a visitor from home around Dubai. Your mate is guaranteed to have a good time and there's so much to do that there really is something for everyone. However, Dubai is not 'a one size fits all' city. Your mate that loves getting up for a 10km at 6am is definitely looking for a different trip than your foodie pal that snaps a pick of every meal for the 'gram. Luckily for you, we know all the best spots to plan your itinerary, no matter who is coming to stay.
