Enjoy the city view From the tallest building in the world

Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the world and you can see a view that you will never forget.

Tickets are sold out in advance to go up the tower, so make sure to book this in advance.

The views from the top are never the same twice. On a clear day you can see the entire city, while on a cloudy day you'll only see the clouds (literally!) since you'll be above them.

Try different types of Arabic cuisine

Everyone's favorite aspect of traveling to different countries and cultures is always the food experience, and Arabic cuisine is no exception.

Dubai is a mecca for cuisines from all over the world, but as a general tip, it's best to try falafel, hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush salad and much more.

Desert tour by car 

One of the most popular activities in this charming and dazzling emirate is visiting the desert and escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.

There are many companies that offer safaris of different standards, but nothing compares to the experience offered with Platinum Heritage.

Buckle up as you cruise through the dunes in a Land Rover, discovering desert wildlife along the way.

Fly over the iconic Palm Dubai

The palm tree is a symbol of the Emirates in general, and what is impressive is that you will see it exactly as you imagine it. These three artificial islands were designed in the shape of a palm tree extending into the water.

You can jump out of a helicopter and fly over it with parachutes and you will see the best view you may have ever encountered in your entire life.

Visit the spice markets in Dubai

If you're looking for more culture and history than you'll find in the city centre, head to Old Dubai and visit the local spice market and neighbouring gold souks.

This area is for tourists and you will see everything you can imagine, and you will have a wonderful experience without a doubt if you are looking for the old side of the charming city.

I listen Experience the iconic Atlantis Hotel

No hotel in Dubai is as classic and iconic as Atlantis.

This magnificent building has a lot to offer visitors to the city outside and inside the hotel, with its own water adventure park, a variety of restaurants, a spa and its own private beach.

A customized desert tour to meet the oryx and gazelles.

Last but not least, you cannot come to Dubai without seeing the unique wildlife.

Oryx and gazelle are the most common and easy to spot and see in the desert (especially the oryx due to its beautiful colours).

But if you are lucky, you can spot and see all kinds of desert animals.

Skiing In Dubai

You might never think that there is a possibility of skiing when you visit this scorching desert and feel its high temperatures.

But imagine that this is really possible here, as inside the maze of the Mall of the Emirates you will find the Ski Slope, which is an indoor ski resort entirely made of man-made materials.

There is only one snow slope for skiing, but it is a great activity if you want to burn off some energy and try out skiing inside the walls.
