Dubai has emerged as one of world’s most cosmopolitan cities, boasting of the world’s tallest building, manmade islands, and underwater hotels. The city offers many out-of-the-world experiences for a traveller.
Burj Khalifa: It truly is one of the most iconic symbols of Dubai and is a majestic building. No trip to Dubai would be complete without the seeing the world’s tallest man-made building. Standing over 2700 feet, this structure dominates the Dubai skyline and remains very prominent from every view in the city. To visit the top, one must reserve a ticket in advance.
Arabian Desert: The easiest way to get at the dunes outside the city is on a four-wheel-drive safari. Expeditions on offer at the dunes are hot-air balloon flights over the sand at sunrise -a statelier desert experience. If you just want to see some sand without vertigo or nausea, then head out to the plush desert escape Bab Al Shams where you can sit on the rooftop and enjoy a cocktail as the sun dips below the dunes.
Â
The Dubai Fountains: At the base of the world’s tallest tower is one of the world’s most amazing fountains. In fact it is the world’s largest dancing fountain, set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake, the fountain shoots water jets as high as 500 ft, equivalent to that of a 50-storey building.
Â
Dubai Creek: The natural seawater inlet that cuts through the centre of the city is the historical part of Dubai where visitors can take an abra (small water taxi) and view the old trading port and the dhows from the water. A cruise to Al-Maktoum Bridge will pass many of the city’s historic as well as modern landmarks.
Â
Ski Dubai: It is the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East and offers an amazing snow setting to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing, or just playing in the snow. Young or old, there is something for everyone, from the beginner to the snow sport enthusiast. Ski Dubai is a unique mountain-themed attraction that offers you the opportunity to enjoy real snow in Dubai all year round.
