Dubai is a favoured holiday destination for people seeking a modern, and exotic holiday rolled into one. A city of remarkable landmarks and unforgettable attractions, there is much to do and see there. Here's a list of unique experiences you must try in Dubai.
The Dubai Mall is famous the world over as one of the largest in the region. It's more than a mere shopping precinct and attracts millions of tourists every year eager to explore the shops and entertainment venues there. Apart from the staggering array of designer shops, high-street fashion stores, and chic boutiques, the mall is home to an ice skating rink, one of the world's largest aquariums, and even an underwater zoo. Once done shopping, you can browse the range of eateries located within the mall, offering a huge variety of food from around the world. Places like Dubai Mall can't often be covered in one single go; most people find themselves coming back to explore more of the mall on multiple visits. Choosing a conveniently located hotel will facilitate such activities while hotel apartments near Dubai Internet City, which is just 20 minutes from iconic attractions like the mall, make exploring doubly easy. Dubai Internet City is located close to the marina and hotels like La Suite Dubai Hotel and Apartments.
There is no greater thrill than a day of dune bashing. It's an experience you cannot miss when exploring Dubai. A desert safari offers all this and more and will include a camel ride across the sands, a stop at a Bedouin Camp for relaxing with a delicious meal and even some quad biking and sandboarding adventures thrown into the equation.
You must climb the world's tallest building as a part of your Dubai adventures; the Burj Khalifa is an iconic attraction that symbolises the majestic architecture that makes up the city skyline. Get your quota of thrills by heading out to the lookout decks on the 124th, 125th and 148th floors for stunning views across the city.
The Dubai Fountain is located at the base of the Burj Khalifa and offers quite the experience. Make sure to take along the cameras because you will want to capture the show, as the jets of water dance in tune to world hits. You can catch the show during the day or at night, although a nighttime show is best when the jets of water dance amidst the laser lights.
Holiday apartments close to the Dubai Marina are popular because of the great views and laid-back chic neighbourhoods. You will find that a stroll along the marina is the best therapy for relaxing the mind, body and soul. The area is well-established as a ritzy shopping and dining precinct where you can go to snap up the perfect social media pics against the waterfront.
