Dubai gained a lot of prominence in the media during the pandemic as a hotspot that Instagram influencers jetted to escape the boring constraints of day-to-day life. As a result, more and more people are looking to jet off to Dubai on their vacations now that restrictions have lifted. Although Dubai is most famous for ornate shopping malls and towering skyscrapers, it’s also home to some beautiful mosques, as it’s a predominantly Islamic city. Consequently, you can learn a lot about the Muslim faith upon a trip to Dubai, including customs such as Zakat, Fidya, and Kaffarah.
Wild Wadi Water Park
The Wild Wadi Water Park is one of the first water parks to have been built within the UAE. As a result, it’s home to some of the most iconic rides in the world, including the lazy river and the Jumeirah Scarah. These are just two of the 30 attractions and rides that the park has to offer. The theme of Wild Wadi Water Park is based around the tale of Juha, who is a popular character from Arabian folklore. You’ll find the park at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, which sits just in front of the Burj Al Arab.
Nikki Beach
Nikki Beach is one of the most well-renowned beach clubs in the whole of Dubai. Here, tourists can relax or dance away to the music. This is all from the comfort of a comfortable bed and towel, and guests will even be greeted with a soft drink on arrival. In the center of the beds, you’ll find a beautifully blue pool where you can take a refreshing dip when it gets a bit too warm. Surrounding the beds is plenty of palm trees, as well as powdery sand, and a tranquil ocean.
The Mall Fountains
One of the most famous attractions in Dubai is the Mall Fountains. These are the largest dancing fountains in the whole world, meaning that you’ll struggle to find an experience like it anywhere else across the globe. Observing the fountains is a truly moving experience due to the beauty of synchronized song and dance performed by the fountains. From 6 pm to 11 pm, shows take place on a half-hourly basis, meaning that there’s plenty of opportunity to catch the display when you’re in the area. The views here are unmatched and the display is completely free of charge!
Burj Khalifa
Clearly, Dubai is home to a lot of the largest attractions, as the Burj Khalifa tower is the tallest across the globe. Whether you view the tower externally or make your way to the top of the tower to view Dubai’s skyline, Burj Khalifa can’t be missed by any tourists in Dubai. Burj Khalifa stands at over 2722 feet when including the tip. To put this into perspective, skyscrapers must stand at a mere 328 feet to qualify as a skyscraper. As a result, Dubai’s endless skyscrapers pale in comparison to this colossal tower.
M.A.D Gallery
M.A.D Gallery is home to kinetic art from a multitude of creative artists. This is another one of Dubai’s free attractions, as you’re not required to pay an entry fee to enjoy the gallery. The first ever M.A.D Gallery launched in Geneva in 2011, yet its success meant that it made its way to Dubai as of recent. You can find the gallery at Al Serkal Avenue in Al Qouz and are permitted to visit any day aside from Friday. Inject some artistry into your trip by visiting M.A.D Gallery when in Dubai.
