Dubai is a city that never stays the same; it keeps reinventing itself, and travellers are all for it. Here are six new tourist attractions that make Dubai shine even brighter.
Are you a football fan? This one’s for you! Real Madrid World has just opened its doors, and it’s the world’s first football-themed park dedicated to one of the most remarkable clubs in history. You’ll find three zones here: Champions Avenue, Celebration Plaza, and Stars Avenue. Each zone is packed with exhibits, rides, and everything else that recreates the world of Real Madrid. The Hala Madrid is a highlight, and so is the Stars Flyer, which happens to be the tallest ride of its kind. With Real Madrid World, Dubai reaches out to football enthusiasts to visit the city and enjoy its many delights. So, if you love football, it’s time to pack your bags and head to Dubai.
Dubai always seems to be brewing up things that can only be described as unparalleled. ARTE MUSEUM Dubai is one such attraction that adds to the city’s already incredible tourist scene. Located in Dubai Mall, a must-visit for shopaholics, ARTE MUSEUM Dubai is a gallery spanning 2,800 square metres. It’s a place designed to captivate all your senses. The gallery has 14 zones that use cutting-edge technology to bring art to life in ways you’ve never seen before. Once you’re done exploring, head to the ARTE Tea Bar to enjoy a selection of creative tea-infused mocktails. From Oaks Liwa Heights, one of the best hotel suites in Dubai, the gallery is less than half an hour away, which means you can find accommodation in close proximity too.
The new kid in town, Dubai Islands Beach, attracts beach lovers to the city. The beach is located off Deira. Its stunning coastline isn’t just for humans; you can take your pets there too. Travelling with your four-legged friend? Take them to Dubai Islands Beach for a fun time. In the mood for a bit of adventure? You can find several non-motorised watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding. The beach also offers beautiful views of the skyline, making it a perfect spot to catch the sunset.
Crocodiles are the last thing you’d expect to see in the middle of an urban city, but guess what—Dubai has crocodiles now. Head to Dubai Crocodile Park, located next to Mushrif Park, where you can see close to 250 crocodiles that call the park’s 20,000 square metres home. The park’s ingenious design mimics the natural habitats of crocodiles, with sandbanks, waterfalls, and climate-controlled basins. Get here in time for the feeding sessions. There’s an onsite museum teaching visitors about crocodiles. Plus, the park allows you to get close to the baby crocs, but be careful all the same.
There isn’t much you won’t find in Dubai Mall, and now it has its very own Chinatown. Located on the first floor of the mall, this new area features themed shops and restaurants, creating an environment completely different from what you usually find in a Gulf city. When you’re here, you’ll feel as though you’ve gone back in time to ancient China. With its quirky decor, like lanterns and bright neon lights, this area of Dubai Mall promises you a truly remarkable experience.
