I didn't see any...

I liked the wadi bashing, where you drive through the desert at a foolishly high rate of speed and roller coaster through the dunes....otehr fun things to do:

--Get bespoke shirts made....Prince Tailors, on the Deira side..just down from the Intercontinental..$13.00/shirt
--Visit the fish/produce souk early in the AM and the spice souk after.
--Street food....lots of Indian influence
--The gold souk
--Lucky's, just outside of town, for pretty cool antique woodcarvings
--The museum/Heritage village
--Brunch at the Burj al-Arab...the restaurant on the top floor.....

We also caught the Dubai Derby horse race and the carpet sale at the convention center, but this is April....
