It is no secret that Dubai is one of the most glamorous metropolitan landscapes in all of creation. The indulgent lifestyles of the city’s ultra privileged citizens are legendary throughout the world. This famous city is also a thriving tourist destination with a range of attractions as well as many choices of luxury accommodation such as the The Palm Jumeirah Hotels, featuring a variety to choose from with examples like Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.
There are so many things to do in Dubai that narrowing down a brief list is extremely daunting. It’s best to get a feel for the city first and start somewhere humble yet intriguing. The Bastakiya Quarter would be a perfect start since it is the city’s historic district. Within this incredible locale you will find traditional Arab buildings with wind-towers for ventilation, making it an ideal place to experience pre-metropolitan Dubai.
Experiencing the unique kind of fun only available in Dubai is a definite must so be sure to visit at least one of the many theme parks that are available throughout the city such as IMG Worlds of Adventure, Wild Wadi and Ski Dubai.
A Dubai tour will be incomplete without checking out a minimum of one of the iconic shopping malls. Most of these malls are at least a kilometre in length and feature unprecedented retail therapy. The Mall of the Emirates for example has a total floor-space of more than six million square-feet and an extensive range of shops, multiple theme parks and a fourteen-screen cinema. The Dubai Mall is the largest shopping centre in the world and boasts a jaw-dropping one-thousand-two-hundred stores. In addition to the stores, the massive mall holds a variety of attractions including an ice-rink, various arcades and an aquarium with thirty-three-thousand sea-creatures.
If you ever find yourself in Dubai, remember that variety is the spice of life and make the most out of your stay.
