Top 5 Places to Visit in Dubai This article is an
essential guide for anyone visiting Dubai. The
city has completely transformed over the years
and comprises a wide range of creative and
thrilling attractions. Read on to learn about
the top-rated and captivating hotspots in
Dubai. Dubai is home to the world's tallest
skyscraper, largest shopping malls, and
outstanding man- made marinas. According to
official reports issued by the Dubai Tourism and
Commerce Marketing Department, the city welcomed
around a million tourists in 2018. That's up by
0.8 from the previous year. Thanks to
strategic investments, long-term international
partnerships, and innovative promotion programs
Dubai's becoming a top destination for all types
of tourists. With so many attractions, it's
difficult to plan your trip to Dubai. So, read
this list of the hottest spots to visit in the
ultra-modern Emirate for an exciting
holiday. The Burj Al Arab Tall hotel is situated
between the Palm Islands and the Jumeirah Beach.
The curved glass faÃade is designed to resemble
ships sails, which have traveled the waterways of
Dubai throughout the years. This super-luxurious
hotel is built on a man-made island and hosts
uber- stylish suites. If arriving at the hotel
via a luxurious Rolls-Royce limousine is too
mainstream, you can reach the Burj Al Arab by
helicopter. To admire the interior of the hotel,
you can book a table at one of the restaurants
such as the Nathan Outlaw at Al Mahara or Al
Muntaha. Or grab an afternoon coffee at one of
the cafes on site. The Burj Khalifa The Burj
Khalifa is the world's tallest building. The
hotel is 821 meters tall and it's the tallest
free-standing building structure worldwide. Also,
thanks to its high outdoor deck, you can enjoy
amazing views. Take the elevator to the 124th
floor for mind-blowing panoramic views of the
Persian Gulf. Special telescopes showcase
different stages of the city's development. If
you visit the 148th floor, you'll enjoy
spectacular views of the city. But if you plan to
ride to the top of the Burj Khalifa, book in
advance. Tickets sell out fast. Jumeirah
Beach Jumeirah's Beach is close to the Burj Al
Arab and it's the best beach in Dubai.
Sun-seekers can enjoy the bright rays of the
sun, while sports enthusiasts can enjoy the
waters of the Persian Gulf. Also, you'll find a
children's playground here and a picnic area. The
best time to visit Jumeirah Beach is during the
morning, to avoid the crowds. Although it's a
clean and relaxing place, Jumeirah's hot sands
and warm waters won't refresh you. Your best
choice is to find a nearby cafe and cool down
while enjoying the views of the Gulf's turquoise
waters. The Gold and Spice Markets (Souks) Go to
Dubai's bazaars or souks to get a glimpse of what
trade was like for centuries. You'll find the
Gold Souk in Deira on the South bank of Dubai's
Creek. It features mind-blowing displays of
necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Over 20 of
the world's gold gets traded in this market. Here,

you'll also find other precious metals and stones
such as platinum, silver, and diamonds. Thanks
to government regulations and controls, you're
guaranteed to get what you pay for. In the Spice
Souk, you'll find spices and flavors such as
ginger, saffron, and chili. Make sure you
negotiate prices as they can be high. A little
bargaining can get you what you want for half or
a quarter of the price set by sellers. Even if
you don't end up buying, a trip to Dubai's souks
is worth it for the cultural value. Ski
Dubai Ski Dubai is the real winter wonderland.
This huge indoor winter ski center comprises 5
ski runs. What's more, it comprises a surface of
22,500 sqm, which is covered with snow. The ski
runs differ in height, difficulty, and gradient.
The longest ski run features almost 400 meters
and has a 60 meters vertical drop. Snowboarders
and skiers can enjoy the slopes all year round.
And if you're traveling with kids, they can take
ski lessons at the Snow Park, which features
around 3,000 sqm. You'll enjoy a freestyle
snowboard area, a chairlift, toboggan runs, and
snowball fights. On top of that, you can swim
with King and Gentoo penguins. The Snow Bullet is
another great attraction. You get to fly on the
first indoor zipline. It's 150 meters long and 16
meters off the ground. Ski Dubai is also home to
activities such as Tobogganing and Zorbing. And
after you've had your fun in the snow and water,
warm up with a hot cup of cocoa at the North 28
Cafe. You'll find it at the top of the ski runs.
