The reputation of UAE’s most populated emirate as a playground for the rich and famous is well-deserved, with the countless designer stores and luxury 5-star hotels in Dubai. But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here are five reasons why Dubai should be on your bucket list:
Travel the World Without Leaving Dubai
One of the most unique aspects of Dubai is that the desert city offers visitors the chance to experience a global vacation all in one place. Regardless of weather and location, ski at an indoor Ski resort, ride a gondola on Venetian-inspired canals or experience the luxury of old Hollywood at Paramount Hotel Dubai.
Experience the Desert
The region’s natural terrain is one of the world’s unique wonders that must be experienced at least once. Just beyond the city limits, venture into the deserts of Dubai, with adventures on 4x4s, camel tours across the dunes, and a slice of culture at a traditional Bedouin camp and a serving of delectable Arabic barbeque.
Explore Old Dubai
Explore the heritage of Dubai, and step back in time at the Deira district. Wander the labyrinthine alleys of the traditional souks, and learn to read the city’s historical veins and humble beginnings.
Witness the Futurism of Dubai
Contrasting the historic, preserved Dubai, gaze upwards at the world’s tallest building, and marvel at the towering, glass skyscrapers glistening under the desert sun, in all shapes and sizes. Explore the Dubai Frame for panoramic views of both old and new Dubai.
Explore Man-Made Wonders
Dubai spearheads lifestyle innovation, making fantastical architectural dreams into reality. Take a helicopter tour or yacht cruise to marvel at the Palm Jumeirah, a breathtaking palm-shaped archipelago. Visit The World, a collection of even smaller artificial islands resembling a world map.
