Top Tourist Attraction And Most Visited Places In DUBAI UAE
Beautiful Beaches And Places of DUBAI
1. Dubai Mall
Perfect Destination For All The Famous And World Class Brands.
Dubai Mall is the city's premier mall and one of the city's best places to
visit for a day of shopping and indoor activities to keep the kids busy.
It provides entry to the Burj Khalifa, as well as the Dubai Aquarium.
There is also an ice-skating rink, gaming zone, and cinema complex
if you're looking for more entertainment options.
2. Dubai Museum
In its history, the fort has served as a residence for the ruling family,
a seat of government, garrison, and prison.
Restored in 1971 (and again extensively in 1995), it is now the city's premier museum.
The entrance has a fascinating exhibition of old maps of the Emirates and Dubai,
showing the mammoth expansion that hit the region after the oil boom.
The courtyard is home to several traditional boats and a palm-leaf house
with an Emirati wind-tower.
The right-hand hall features weaponry, and the left-hand hall showcases
Emirati musical instruments.
Below the ground floor are display halls with exhibits and dioramas covering various
aspects of traditional Emirati life (including pearl fishing and Bedouin desert life),
as well as artifacts from the 3,000- to 4,000-year-old graves at Al Qusais archaeological site.
3. Dubai Frame
Sitting slap-bang between Dubai's older neighborhoods clustered around the creek
and the city's modern sprawl, this ginormous 150-meter-high picture frame is one of Dubai's latest sights.
Inside, a series of galleries whisk you through the city's history and explore
Emirati heritage before you travel up to the Sky Deck, where there are fantastic
panoramas of both old and new Dubai to be snapped on the viewing platforms.
Afterwards check out Future Dubai gallery, which imagines what a
futuristic vision of the city will look like.
4. Dubai Aquarium
One of the city's top tourist attractions, the Dubai Aquarium houses 140 species
of sea life in the huge suspended tank on the ground floor of the Dubai Mall.
As well as free viewing from the mall, if you enter the Underwater Zoo,
you can walk through the aquarium tunnels.
Different activities help you get a closer look at the sea life.
Glass bottom boat tours (on top of the tank) are particularly popular.
5. Burj Al-Arab
The Burj Al-Arab is the world's tallest hotel,
standing 321 meters high on its own
artificial island on the Dubai coastline.
Designed to resemble a billowing dhow sail, the exterior of the
building is lit up by a
choreographed, colored lighting show at night.
Decadent in every way possible, the Burj Al-Arab is one of the most expensive
hotels in the world, with the most luxurious suites costing more than $15,000 for one night.
For those without unlimited credit, the way to experience the over-the-top
opulence is to go for dinner at the underwater Al-Mahara restaurant,
where floor-to-ceiling glass panels in the dining room walls allow you to
view sea life while you eat, or you can enjoy lunch at California-style fusion restaurant Scape.
