Finding your way through Dubai as a tourist is a pleasurable thing - with modern, cutting-edge architectural design that's blended with a spot of culture if you know where to look. It's synonymous with a grand lifestyle of opulence and excess in all the right places, earning its reputation as one of the most popular places to visit by the people with the means to do so. With interesting nightlife, interesting food, and plenty of grand shopping malls, you can't find a more relaxing destination if you're looking for a nice holiday.
Although it's a place that needs no introduction, the Burj Khalifa still deserves one! Climbing its heights provides some of the most gorgeous views you can have in the Emirati sphere, with the desert on one side, and the shimmering blue ocean on the other. Drop by for a visit and snap a photo or three - this marvel of architecture definitely should not be missed.
Holding a spot amongst the most popular places in Dubai, the beach of Jumeirah is the ideal place for all travellers - mostly because it's perfect for those water babies and fans of sunshine. There are many exotic hotels or properties with a premier one-bedroom suite, some set along the beach itself, boasting exclusive facilities and majestic views that make Jumeirah stick out as a beach hotspot.
With a multitude under its roof, the Mall of the Emirates promises hours of entertainment and shopping, enough to satisfy the most discerning of consumers and the most eclectic of tastes. This can either be literal or not - as the cuisines are just as varied as the shopping opportunities. There's almost every cuisine that exists under the sky, as well as the famous Dubai Ski - consisting of a breathtaking ski setup and even a penguin enclosure.
Housing not just a luxurious residence, but also the incredibly interesting Dubai Museum of Historical Photographs and Documents - which contains slices of Dubai's history within its walls. It's also a lovely representation of Arabic architecture, with a unique cultural design and relatively untouched and luxurious interiors. It's a picturesque sight, a perfect place to experience a little Arabic culture for yourself.
A creek filled with natural seawater, the body cuts through the centre of the city - adding a special view for all. It's a great spot for a bit of secluded romance, famous amongst the couples of the city for this very reason. It's not exclusive to them, however, as the tourists of the world are also able to take a boat or abra to experience the views around the city and ports on the other side. The creek is enhanced and enriched by the history of the city, deep in its existence. Consider visiting if you're staying in a luxurious residence or property like the Oaks Liwa Heights
