Dubai tip: visit the Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest man-made structure and a landmark of the United Arab Emirates. From the observation decks at the top of the tower, you can admire the splendour of downtown Dubai. The observation decks on the 124ᵉ floor and the brand-new observation point on the 148ᵉ floor attract large crowds of visitors every day.
The price of admission to the observation decks depends on the time of day you choose. A significant number of visitors flock early in the morning and at sunset, although tickets are more expensive during these periods. Whether you want to see the city in broad daylight or under the twilight glow of the night sky, you'll be in good hands. blown away by the panorama at 555 m altitude!
Desert Safari
Most of the things to do in Dubai are in the city. That's what makes a desert safari different from everything else. It's the only way to explore the dunes up close. The safari in the Dubai desert allows you to discover the forgotten traditions of the desert Arabs.
A walk in the dunes in a 4×4. A rollercoaster ride through the desert dunes.
The safari lasts half an hour, with a few photo stops at sunset and a stopover near the highest dunes to try sandboarding.
Before sunset, the convoy heads for the Bedouin camp. The rest of the evening takes place in this traditional-style camp. On site, you can get a henna tattoo, dress up in Emirati attire, take a photo with the falcon and go quad biking.
Then, as night falls, the camp is with traditional folk dancing and a delicious dinner.
Dubai tip: shopping at the Dubai Mall
The largest shopping mall in the United Arab Emirates is located in Dubai. Located at the foot of Burj Khalifa and covering an area the size of fifty soccer pitches, the Dubai Mall is almost considered a city in itself. The mall attracts more visitors a year than the biggest cities in America.
Dubai Mall is home to just over 1,200 points of sale. On the top floor, for the little ones, there's Kidzania. You'll also find dozens of restaurants offering all the world's cuisines. The perfect place to spend a relaxing family day away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Dubai Fountain
Everyone knows that the world's tallest building is in Dubai. But right at the foot of the Burj Khalifa is the Burj Lake and the world's tallest fountain: the Dubai Fountain. It's also the world's largest choreographed fountain.
The fountain can pull 83,000 liters of water over 140 metres high. It's almost as tall as a 50-storey building. The creators of the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas were behind the design of the Dubai fountain.
Dubai tip: the Dubai Garden Glow
located next to Sheikh Zayed Road inside Zabeel Park, this garden is divided into themes: Glow Park, Dinosaur Park, Ice Park and Art Park. Each offers a different atmosphere.
Dubai Garden Glow is the world's largest illuminated park. The garden looks like any other garden during the day, with sculptures of dinosaurs and other characters, but after sunset the place transforms into a fairytale setting.
Glow Park features models of wild animals and trees, reflecting the importance of protecting the environment. These art forms glow after dark, exuding an otherworldly aura.
The park is primarily designed for children. They'll love the garden's interactive features, such as Dinosaur Lab, which presents the lives of these prehistoric creatures.
The house of Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum
Saeed bin Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum House is one of Dubai's oldest buildings and the home of the emirate's former ruler, the grandfather of Dubai's current ruler. Built in 1896, it was the seat of government when Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum resided there.
He died in 1958, leaving behind a great legacy that bears witness to the evolution of Dubai as an emirate and the United Arab Emirates as a country.
Today, the historic residence is transformed into a museum housing iconic old photographs, coins, stamps and documents that preserve the country's short, but great, history.
The structure is made of coral stone and mud, as were all buildings in the region at the time. The typical Arab courtyard has a unique charm.
Dubai tip: take a trip to the Gold Souk
The famous gold souk of Dubai has earned the city the name "City of Gold". Gold Souk is located in Deira, near Baniyas Square. The gold market has been a major attraction for years, bringing tourists from all over the world to buy gold, diamonds and jewelry at low prices.
You should visit the souk even if you don't plan to buy anything. Stroll through its alleys in the glow of gold.
Gold prices in the Gold Souk are among the lowest in the world. One of the souk's jewelers houses the world's largest gold ring: the Najmat Taiba. Weighing 64 kg, it stands behind glass so that tourists can take photos.
