  • 1) Take a picture with a giant building in the background.

    It doesn’t even have to the Burj Khalifa. It just has to be a ridiculously tall build. Dubai is practically littered with them.

    2) Or with the dancing fountains in the background.

    3) Taking a picture in a Thobe and that common red/white scarf.

    And then upload it to the Instagram with the caption, “We getting Arab money.”

    4) Ride around the desert on a quad bike.

    Let sand enter their eye small.

    5) Take a picture while uncomfortably straddling a camel.
