Not sure when you will be visiting... But just keep in mind that it is HOT in Dubai around this time (it is always hot, but summer is exceptionally hot), so keep outdoor activities to a minimum while the sun is out. Ramadan (Muslim month of fasting) starts in October (around the first week - depends on sighting of moon). I know October is a few months away, but something to keep in mind nevertheless. Dubai is my version of that "It's a small world" ride at Disney. Nevertheless, there is A LOT to see and do in the emirate.
