The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai has got a lot of things for you to do and see, and here are some of the top things you must attempt while you are there.
Apart from enjoying thrills at the water park found in the Palm Jumeirah, you can also have some underwater adventures like swimming with dolphins, sharks and sea lions while you are here. If you are put up at a Palm Jumeirah hotel the likes of Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort you will be able to explore the underwater world in The Lost Chambers Aquarium. At this aquarium, you can dive and snorkel through the lagoons that are full of marine animals. People say that there are more than 65,000 animals that vary in fourteen kinds.
Unlike most parts of the world, the weekend in Dubai falls on Friday and Saturday and therefore, the Friday brunch is quite a splendid affair. You can kick start your weekend with a brunch that is a blend of many international cuisines.
Splash tour is an adventurous 19-minute ride that will take you on a speed boat and starts off from the Marina in Dubai. This boat ride will take you around the waters of Palm Jumeirah and pause for all the photographic landmarks found in Dubai. Afterwards, you will go on to the Burj Al Arab and continue to explore some of Dubai's most prestigious palaces.
Apart from the hair-raising adventures you can do on the water in Palm Jumeirah, you could also opt to do some relaxing water activities while you are here. You can join a kayaking tour that comes along with an informative guide. During this tour, you will be passing many of the iconic views in Dubai like the Burj Khalifa, the Burj al Arab and the Dubai marina. You could also try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding.
Being on a holiday in Dubai and not letting yourself be pampered would be one of the most regrettable mistakes you might end up doing. To make sure you do not regret missing out on anything, book yourself a self-pampering experience while you are here. The most popular treatment you can try is to go for the coffee experience which uses Turkish coffee. If you are someone who loves drinking coffee on a daily basis and just the smell of this drink awakens you, this would be a pampering you will not forget in your life. This coffee spa treatment includes a full body coffee scrub along with a massage that uses oils that smell exquisite, to say the least. Apart from the coffee treatment, you could also consult with the masseuse at your spa and come up with a customised massage package that cures your ailments. Booking yourself a spa treatment right at the end of your trip in Dubai will be a great idea because you can get back home refreshed and rejuvenated, and jump back into the daily hustle of your work life.
