Travel to Dubai

Top 9 attractions:

1. The world’s largest Dancing fountain show choreographed in the evenings at the base of the Burj Khalifa tower is one of the most beautiful attractions of Dubai.
2. The Al-Fahidi Fort, Dubai, built-in 1787, is an excellent museum. The fort’s walls are built out of traditional coral blocks and lime as the holding element. The ceiling of the fort is constructed from palm fronds, mud, and plaster, and wooden poles give the upper floor support.
3. The world’s largest mall, The Dubai shopping mall, is just next to the fountains with around 1300 shops, outlets, and restaurants.
4. When you travel to Dubai, one of the must-visit places is The Burj Khalifa, the tallest (828 m ) and majestic building globally.
5. Atlantis The Palm is located in Palm Jumeirah, one of the largest man-made islands in the world, which also consists of many other luxurious hotels.
6. Dubai is not just known for its glitzy hotels and sophisticated structures but also for its rich culture and history, such as the Bani Yas tribe’s original village on Dubai Creek, which is located in the city’s core. Pearl diving and fishing were some activities conducted here.
7. The Dhow Wharfage,situated along Dubai Creek’s bank (north of Al-Maktoum Bridge), is still used by small traders from across the Gulf; some dhows around 100 years ago anchored it.
8. Burj Al Arab, formed in 1999, is a stunning building engineered in the shape of a sail and made with a curved glass facade that attracts many visitors due to the fantastic lookout over the Persian Gulf.
9. Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum, the current ruler’s grandfather, was the ruler of Dubai from 1921 to 1958. His former residence, a fine example of Arabian architecture, has been rebuilt and restored as a museum.

Other interesting places:

1. The 150-meter-high picture frame, one of Dubai’s latest sights, sits around the creek.
2. The Dubai World Trade Tower is a cheaper replacement for Burj Khalifa as it offers a panoramic view to the tourists through an observation deck on its top floor.
3. The Gold and Diamond Park in (Sheikh Zayed Road), with 118 manufacturers and 30 retailers under one roof, is a one-stop shop for jewelry lovers.
4. The Majlis Gardens have a unique Arab irrigation system alongside many shady date palms.
5. One of Dubai’s most famous malls, Mall of the Emirates, has a spectacular (and surreal) Ski Dubai facility. The indoor ski slope is maintained at a constant temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and has chairlift facilities.
6. The Dubai Opera presents a year-round schedule of well-known musical theatre plays, world-class performers’ concerts, opera, ballet, and classical music, as well as smaller shows, comedy evenings, and concerts.
   • The theater building with 2000 seats itself is an architectural masterpiece and one of the newest landmarks of Dubai. It features ultra-modern glass and steel walls that jut out over the river, like the curves of a traditional dhow.
7. Part of the ancient Al Quoz industrial zone concentrated on Alserkal Avenue has been redeveloped into Dubai’s foremost arts hub, with some of the city’s most notable modern art galleries.
   • The Green Art Gallery, The Third Line, and the Ayyam Gallery are some established galleries set up alongside some startups.
