We’ve rounded up five of our favourite Dubai attractions!

 

Wild Wadi Water Park

It gets hot in Dubai, and one of the best ways to cool off is splashing about in the Wild Wadi Water Park. Situated outside the Burj Al Arab hotel, the water park boasts over 30 rides and attractions which the whole family is sure to love.

 

Hop on Hop off Bus Dubai

Hopping on one of the open-top buses from City Sightseeing Dubai is one of the best ways to make the most of the city.  The buses stop at major landmarks including the Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zayed Road, Burj Al Arab, Gold Souk and Dubai Creek as well as over 47 stops around the city, which connects you to every major attraction. This is a great one for those travelling to Dubai for a only short break and want to make sure they don’t miss anything!

 

Sunset Safari

No trip to Dubai is complete without experiencing an afternoon safari in the golden desert.  This is the perfect excuse to leave the skyscrapers behind and take an afternoon away from the buzz of the big city for a ride with the camels around Dubai’s largest sand dunes. You’ll be able to finish the day off with a BBQ and a stunning desert sunset view.

 

Burj Khalifa

With this tour, you’ll be able to travel up 10 meters per second in a high speed elevator, until you reach the top to find the most breathtaking views of Dubai. If you’re brave enough, walk around the floor-to-ceiling glass walls inside the tallest building on earth, and enjoy a 360-degree view of the city, desert and ocean.
