Are you debating with family and friends what you will be doing this weekend? There are plenty of Experiences in the UAE that might just offer what you have always meant to check off your bucket list. Airbnb Experiences are one-of-a-kind activities designed and hosted by locals. Unlike a typical tour or workshop, experiences go beyond the activities themselves. They offer a deep-dive into the local host’s world through their passion. Hosts offer their guests special knowledge, unique skills, and inside access to local places and communities that guests couldn’t find on their own, creating lasting connections and treasured memories.
