Climb the world’s tallest building
Dubai’s architecture is arguably one of its most defining and iconic characteristics. Representing the city’s ambitions to be the very best at everything, the Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building and is locally known as the ‘Vertical City’. A trip to the very top floor affords you breathtaking views of the entire city and surrounding desert, plus bragging rights to say you’ve climbed the tallest man-made structure in the world.
Flash your cash at endless stores
Shopping is Dubai’s number one pastime – and it’s easy to see why. The Dubai Mall features more than 1,200 retailers along with a full ski slope, theme park, dinosaur skeleton and so much more. For something a touch more traditional (and much more relaxing), visit the Souk Madinat Jumeirah for an authentic market experience with stunning coastal views.
Make a splash (literally)
For a desert city, Dubai – which is situated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - provides plenty of opportunities to cool off from the intense heat. Aquaventure Waterpark is legendary among thrill seekers, with plenty of rides and slides that push your adrenaline to the max. Beaches are countless, with tranquil waters and golden sands to lounge about on as you build your tan. And while you might not be able to take a dip in the famous Dubai Fountains, the spectacular water shows will be a highlight of any evening.
