Best things to do and see in Dubai

What can you see and do in Dubai?

Considered one of the most glamorous cities in the world, the desert paradise of Dubai has grown in popularity and become a highly desirable place to visit. A kingdom of extravagance, shopping, nightlife and towering architecture existing on a gigantic scale, yet the city still manages to balance old and new perfectly. Head up to Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and see the beaches and dunes from the clouds. Enjoy a morning on Jumeirah Beachfront, a popular stretch of beach for tourists. If you are looking to absorb some Middle Eastern culture, you will not go wrong by visiting Bastakia Quarter, the old town of Dubai with all its traditional architecture, cafes, galleries and museums. Visit a market, known as a Souk, where gold and spice are the choice of trade. See the 150-metre tall Dubai Frame and take a walk along the glass floor overlooking the city, if you dare. Enjoy a day at the camel races or one of many massive water parks in the city. If you visit in December or early January, you will witness the world’s largest shopping experience: The Dubai Shopping Festival, where shoppers from around the world come to get great deals.
