Excursions in Dubai

Dubai is a top-quality city. Everything here is mega-large, super-high and ultra-modern. It is surely the most popular place in the Arab Emirates that is worth a few sightseeingtoursthrough Dubaior at least a short stop on the way to Asia.

No matter how much time you expect to spend in Dubai, you should definitely see its major architectural landmarks:

• Burj Khalifa – an insanely high building that reaches 828 m and runs through the clouds with its 180 m spire (the tour guide will provide you with the details of the project of this absolute world champion among skyscrapers);
• Dubai Mall shopping and recreation center with 1,200 shops, a gold market, an aquarium with 33,000 sea animals, a cinema with 22 halls, a 24-meter water cascade and several viewing decks overlooking the Burj Khalifa (without an English-speaking guide you risk getting lost here);
• Dubai Water Musical Fountain that playfully splashes against the background of the Burj Khalifa (the fountain is in the center of the lake, where you can boat while being accompanied by a tour guide);
• Emirates' Mall shopping and recreation center – a complex with 600 shops. If you compare it to Dubai Mall, it has a smaller area but excels at its know-how - artificial skiing piste;
• Palm Islands – a trio of man-made land areas in the form of palm leaves formed off the coast of Dubai (a daily train has been launched for the island excursion);
• Bastakiya – a historic area with clay houses and wind towers serving as natural air conditioners and luring tourists on a fascinating tour of the picturesque alleys;
• Dubai Museum housed in the 200-year-old Al Fahidi Fort and telling the story of Dubai (the services of an English-speaking guide will be just what is needed).

If you have spare time, you can complete this list of activities with children's tours of amusement parks and jeep safaris across the desert.
