There is a common misconception that Dubai is just about the shopping scene. Well, with many tourist attractions like the Dubai Aquarium, indoor skiing and the mighty Burj Khalifa being part of or connected to a shopping mall, the misconception may be somewhat justified. However, Dubai isn't just restricted to these. There's much to it and here's a list of things to explore as a part of your travel discoveries in Dubai.
We've heard about the Dubai Aquarium but not so much about the Dubai Dolphinarium, right? The Dubai Dolphinarium is a popular spot where you can get close to seals and dolphins and learn more about these animals and their life. Besides, you can interact with them by the poolside and also watch a fabulous live performance of these wonderful creatures. For accommodation close to this area, there are serviced apartments in Dubai, in the likes of the Oaks Liwa Heights, that provide a good experience and is only around twenty minutes drive away.
As mentioned before, Dubai does offer a thrilling desert experience. One of these experiences that you must try out would be the desert safari which starts in the late evenings. Here you can enjoy the luminous sight of the sky at dusk when the sun is just about to set. You can also check out the nocturnal wildlife of the desert.
As Dubai is located in the Middle East, you can surely expect exceptional desert discoveries. And the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve gives you all of that and more. Here you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the golden sand dunes of the deserts. Plus, you can explore the desert wildlife scene which includes an array of animals like the wild dogs, antelopes, hares and rabbits.
Although Dubai may not be the go-to place for beach, the waters here provide a range of water sports activities you can enjoy. There are reputed places in Dubai who offer jet skiing, water skiing and wake-boarding for thrill seekers.
This place is just the type of place you can take your kids to have a fabulous time. A range of incredible animals is displayed here. Kids can learn a wealth of information about these animals which is truly an educational experience.
Well, you've already taken to the streets of Dubai, and have explored quite a bit. How about a different angle? Up in the air, perhaps? Be warned, this isn't light on the wallet. However, the aerial views of the city are mind-blowing and completely worth it. Many opt to take their partners on a helicopter ride making it a romantic tour of the skies!
Dubai is home to the largest flower garden in the world which has about forty-five million flowers. Therefore, it is correctly named the Miracle Garden. This place is spectacular and must not be missed!
