Dubai
Creek & Dubai Marina
These
two locations are the heart and soul of Dubai that highlight its past and
present. Take a dhow
cruise on a traditional wooden boat through the calm waters of Dubai Creek
or the scenic Dubai Marina and marvel at the spectacles that come across while
sailing. The wooden boats were the only means for fishing and pearl diving in
the past. Today, they have become an attractive way of enjoying the city’s
skyline from the water.
Besides
getting lost in the magnificent views, you can also enjoy a sumptuous BBQ
dinner and live music with Tanoura dance and other performances. The invaluable
thing that you’ll take on a dhow cruise is the impressive view of the sparkling
city glittering with twinkling lights.
Both
these attractions are perfect for experiencing contrasting views of the city’s
past and present. For solo travelers, couples, and families, going on a dhow
cruise is an ideal activity for an unforgettable experience. Taking in both
these attractions from the water is an extraordinary sight.
Desert
Safari Dubai
Just
shift your attention from the city’s luxury and glamour and focus on the desert
where you can unleash your adventurous spirit. A desert safari in Dubai is a
captivating experience that combines adventure, spectacles, entertainment, and
sumptuous food. It offers lots of activities ideal for thrill-seekers and
leisure travelers. The first activity on a safari is dune bashing in a 4x4
vehicle. An experienced driver will take you on a heart-racing ride through the
rolling dunes that will make you scream with excitement and fear. Other
optional thrilling activities include sandboarding and quad biking. Both these
activities offer the best off-road experiences. After enjoying all the modern
things, you can experience the world’s oldest transportation system by taking a
camel ride. The safari further takes you to a Bedouin-style camp where you can
enjoy cultural activities and delectable.
One
more attraction that is best to experience Dubai’s culture is the Jumeirah
Mosque. This mosque welcomes non-Muslims and offers a guided tour wherein you
can learn about Islamic culture. Another must-see attraction is the Palm
Jumeirah, which is a man-made island in the shape of a palm tree. This location
is an address for impressive apartments, hotels, nightclubs, and more.
Dubai

Dubai
offers an array of experiences with its modern attractions and nature. Some of
Dubai’s top attractions include the Dubai Frame and the Dubai Miracle Garden. A

a window. This 150-metre-tall picture frame building is famous for offering a
view of the older and modern parts of the city. You can see the Creek, and Al
Fahidi District, and many impressive skyscrapers. The building also has an

visit the Dubai Creek area to explore the older side of Dubai. This area has
