from the previous year. Thanks to strategic investments, long-term international partnerships,
and innovative promotion programs Dubai's becoming a top destination for all types of tourists.
With so many attractions, it's difficult to plan your trip to Dubai. So, read this list of the hottest
spots to visit in the ultra-modern Emirate for an exciting holiday.
The Burj Al Arab
Tall hotel is situated between the Palm Islands and the Jumeirah Beach. The curved glass
façade is designed to resemble ships sails, which have traveled the waterways of Dubai
throughout the years. This super-luxurious hotel is built on a man-made island and hosts uber-
stylish suites.
If arriving at the hotel via a luxurious Rolls-Royce limousine is too mainstream, you can reach
the Burj Al Arab by helicopter. To admire the interior of the hotel, you can book a table at one of
the restaurants such as the Nathan Outlaw at Al Mahara or Al Muntaha. Or grab an afternoon
coffee at one of the cafes on site.
The Burj Khalifa
The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building. The hotel is 821 meters tall and it's the tallest
free-standing building structure worldwide. Also, thanks to its high outdoor deck, you can enjoy
amazing views. Take the
elevator to the 124th floor for mind-blowing panoramic views of the Persian Gulf. Special
telescopes showcase different stages of the city's development. If you visit the 148th floor, you'll
enjoy spectacular views of the city. But if you plan to ride to the top of the Burj Khalifa, book in
advance. Tickets sell out fast.
Jumeirah Beach
Jumeirah's Beach is close to the Burj Al Arab and it's the best beach in Dubai. Sun-seekers can
enjoy the bright rays of the sun, while sports enthusiasts can enjoy the waters of the Persian Gulf.
Also, you'll find a children's playground here and a picnic area. The best time to visit
Jumeirah Beach is during the morning, to avoid the crowds.
Although it's a clean and relaxing place, Jumeirah's hot sands and warm waters won't refresh
you. Your best choice is to find a nearby cafe and cool down while enjoying the views of the
Gulf's turquoise waters.
The Gold and Spice Markets (Souks)
Go to Dubai's bazaars or souks to get a glimpse of what trade was like for centuries. You'll find
the Gold Souk in Deira on the South bank of Dubai's Creek. It features mind-blowing displays of
necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Over 20% of the world's gold gets traded in this market. Here,

2. you'll also find other precious metals and stones such as platinum, silver, and diamonds. Thanks
to government regulations and controls, you're guaranteed to get what you pay for.
In the Spice Souk, you'll find spices and flavors such as ginger, saffron, and chili. Make sure you
negotiate prices as they can be high. A little bargaining can get you what you want for half or a
quarter of the price set by sellers. Even if you don't end up buying, a trip to Dubai's souks is
worth it for the cultural value.
Ski Dubai
Ski Dubai is the real winter wonderland. This huge indoor winter ski center comprises 5 ski runs.
What's more, it comprises a surface of 22,500 sqm, which is covered with snow. The ski runs
differ in height, difficulty, and
gradient. The longest ski run features almost 400 meters and has a 60 meters vertical drop.
Snowboarders and skiers can enjoy the slopes all year round. And if you're traveling with kids,
they can take ski lessons at the Snow Park, which features around 3,000 sqm.
You'll enjoy a freestyle snowboard area, a chairlift, toboggan runs, and snowball fights. On top
of that, you can swim with King and Gentoo penguins. The Snow Bullet is another great
attraction. You get to fly on the first indoor zipline. It's 150 meters long and 16 meters off the
ground. Ski Dubai is also home to activities such as Tobogganing and Zorbing. And after you've
had your fun in the snow and water, warm up with a hot cup of cocoa at the North 28 Cafe.
You'll find it at the top of the ski runs.
