Dubai, a gem of the United Arab Emirates, is a destination like no other. It’s a city of dreams, where modernity meets tradition, and luxury is a way of life. Here are some reasons why Dubai makes such an ideal place for a holiday this year.
Attractions Galore
Dubai is home to an abundance of attractions, including the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the iconic Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island shaped like a palm tree close to Avani Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites. You can also explore the Dubai Miracle Garden, the largest flower garden in the world, enjoy fascinating encounters at the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo and see the Dubai Fountain, the largest choreographed fountain system on the planet!
Adventurous Escapades
Dubai provides an array of outdoor activities including skydiving above the Palm Jumeirah! Hotels in the city also make an ideal base from which to head to the desert where you can try everything from dune bashing to quad biking. More thrills are on offer at XLine Dubai Marina, the world’s longest urban zipline, while family adventures await at IMG Worlds of Adventure and the four theme parks of Dubai Parks and Resorts which include Legoland Dubai.
Shop Till You Drop
Dubai is a haven for shopaholics, and fashionistas with an incredible range of shopping options, from souks and street markets to high-end designer stores. The Dubai Mall alone houses over 1,200 stores, including designer fashion brands like Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. Other highlights include City Walk, Mall of the Emirates and Ibn Battuta Mall, each offering retail therapy as well as dining and entertainment. For something more traditional, look to visit the bustling Gold and Spice souks too.
