a bit about Dubai plans

did a bit of research and here are some thoughts on what I could do with my week in Dubai:

beaches - I definitely would like to lay in the sun for a day or so... hot sun, warm white sand, bright blue sea... yeap. one of those please :)

islands - those strange land formations right off the coast or artificial islands... as I have read it is possible to take boat cruises around them to get a closer look

desert - would be wonderful to cruise around on the sand dunes or take a hot-air balloon ride across the endless sand fields

skyscrapers - tallest building in the world was opened 9 days ago :) it is possible to visit 139th floor :) this would be fun, there are also numerous other buildings to check out

local culture - Grand Mosque, gold and spice markets, boat rides in the old quarter. Fujairah was also suggested, it is a bit out of town - great place for snorkeling, has lots of fish and sharks :)

luxurious shopping centers - if spare time then would be nice to visit some of those as well. one has a skiing hall inside it for an example :D would not mind to check this out :D
