is no less renowned. A major tourist spot and a major trade hub in the Middle
East, Dubai’s importance on the world map cannot be discarded. It is arguably
the most important financial city in the whole region, not just the United Arab
Emirates. Tourists from all over the world come visit it for the luxury
shopping, grand architecture and a lively nightlife. Burj Khalifa dominates the
skyline as the tallest building in the world. It also has many sublime man made
islands near its main shore. Here are some of the top things to see/do in

Dubai Mall: Located near the Burj Khalifa, this Mall is the
largest shopping center in the world by area. It has over a thousand stores
(not including the smorgasbord of food stalls). It is the perfect place for
people who love to shop – and even if you don’t fall in this category this mall
is still definitely worth visiting just to walk its magnificent corridors
filled with millions of products you can purchase. It also has several
entertainment facilities such as an ice rink, a movie theater and play areas for
kids. However the star attraction is the Dubai Aquarium which houses more than
33,000 sea creatures. The entrance fee is 14 USD and the experience is worth
every penny.
Burj Khalifa: Located near the Dubai Mall is the tallest
building in the world. Standing 828 m (830 to tip) it has 160 stories and is a
must visit to any trip in Dubai. Aside from this rather large honor it is also
the tallest free-standing building in the world and has the highest outdoor
observation deck. This means breathtaking views that will leave you in awe.
There are special telescopes which show Dubai during different time periods
allowing you to get a measure of how far it has developed. The observation deck
has an entry fee.

Burj Al Arab: Widely regarded as the world’s first ‘seven
star’ hotel, this magnificent feat of architecture overlooks the Persian Gulf
from its location between the Palm Islands and Jumeirah Beach. It is built in
the shape of a boat’s sail. You don’t have to stay in this majestic hotel to
enjoy and see its beauty. Non-guests can enjoy seafood at the Al Muntaha
restaurant which is 600 feet above the ground.
Jumeriah Beach: After checking out the Burj Al Arab head on
to the nearby Jumeriah Beach. This cream colored one mile stripe of public sand
is possible Dubai’s best beach. Just make sure that you take plenty of water
and sunscreen as you picnic or laze around this spectacular beach with its
amazing views.
