Are you interested in Emirati culture and Islam? Then you need to visit the Jumeirah Mosque. This architectural marvel is known as a point of cultural exchange. It encompasses elaborate domes, minarets and white stone. This is one of the few religious places in the country which gives guided tours to non-Muslims. So don modest clothing and enter this premise.
Dubai Museum is located within the ancient Al Fahidi Fort. It takes all those who visit the site on an enthralling journey through the city’s past. It captures its transformation from a pearling and fishing hamlet to a global hub. It houses displays linked with the pre-oil period, the marine era and Bedouin life.
Known as the biggest flower garden on the planet, Dubai Miracle Garden is a must-visit site for anyone who stays in the city. Presenting millions of flowers in exquisite floral arrangements and patterns, creating a singular and eye-catching experience, this is a great spot to take in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Since this is a major landmark in the city, tourists who stay at the 5 star resorts in Dubai make it a point to visit it with their loved ones.
Birdwatching fans and nature lovers should not miss out on dropping by Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. You can witness a variety of bird species like flamingos, great egrets, grey herons and many other bird species there. It has free access. Therefore, it is a great place if you are looking for some budget-friendly activities to engage in the city.
Situated in the centre of the city, Dubai Creek is a prominent tourist location. It divides Bur Dubai and Deira, two important neighbourhoods that have contributed significantly to the development of Dubai, into the megacity it is today. The Creek—which is a saltwater inlet—has developed into a hub of the city's commercial and residential activities. Anyone eager to visit this place should take a ferry ride there. This is a great way to enjoy the skyline of the city.
If you are looking for a place where you can spend a day with your family, look no further than Legoland Waterpark in Dubai. This is a great spot which will keep children between two to twelve years enthralled. You get many interactive activities centred on Lego bricks, relaxing spaces and more than 20 waterslides there. If you are looking for many other ways to keep your tiny tots engaged and well looked after, stay at a family-friendly resort like Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort. There are many activities aimed at children within the resort, like a kids and teens' club, kid-friendly dining options and babysitting facilities.
