Dubai is a monstrosity and a quick city break to the destination may not seem enough for experiencing all its myriad charms. A staggering array of choice baffles one and all. However, the sheer volume of attractions galore also ensures that there is something for every taste and fancy. So, come explore, what you would like to pick or skip on your city break itinerary for Dubai.
For most travellers, a sojourn to Burj Khalifa remains an inseparable part of the itinerary. Besides its main claim to fame of being the tallest structure in the world with a beguiling design, it further enraptures with ‘The Dubai Fountain’ and ‘Burj Khalifa Park’. Buy tickets for the Observation Deck, at level 124, to admire the omnipresent scintillation of Dubai from the vertiginous heights. Sybarites looking for a swish hospitality without leaving the charm of Burj Khalifa may stay at Armani Hotel. Yet another edifice that lets you soak in the metropolitan magnificence of Dubai is Burj Al Arab. This awe-inspiring sail-shaped structure is the only 7-star hotel in the world. Besides architectural marvels, there is a huge world of attractions waiting to spoil you for choice on your city break.
Families with kids should definitely consider a trip to the “wonderland” called Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. For the adrenalin junkies, Ski Dubai and Wild Wadi Park are a couple of ‘not to be missed’ attractions. If history and culture get you ticking, then unravel the past at Bastakia and explore the richness of Heritage and Diving Village.
Shopaholics would be happy to know that retail therapy is an inseparable element of a Dubai city break tour. Be it, lavish malls such as the Dubai Mall and Mall of Emirates, or the plethora of souks – the shopping scene seems infinite in Dubai.
