Dubai in February / Snorkeling in Dubai

[ScandiCinnamon]

Hi there,
After an all round crappy year for both of us my bff and I will head to Dubai for six nights at the end of February. This is much needed break away from failing relationships and DC's.

We are staying in airbnb somewhere near the Palm.

Could someone give some recommendations of what we could do? We would like to go to a yoga class, glam it up a bit, go dancing (if one can do that there), sunbathe and would absolutely love to go snorkeling, but not in an artificial setting (!!)

Any recommendations most welcome. Budget is somewhat limited.

Snorkelling? Dubai?!!! They dredged the sea and piled up the sand into hundreds of little artificial islands! There is nothing living in there. Sorry if this is not what you were expecting.

My parents lived in Dubai for 12 years and as a hobby my dad became a padi dive instructor and so taught me out there too. I didn’t see 1 fish on all my dives and the visabily is horrendous.
