6 Biggest Attractions in Dubai

Dubai is the new era of luxury. It sets a benchmark in everything from architectural designs to pure entertainment. Adding a little extra punch to the usual things is something that the city is known for. Be it the neck-wrenching height of Burj Khalifa, the unparalleled design of Burj Al Arab, the awestruck Dubai Aquarium or the incredible dancing fountain, travelling here is a vacation in the starry landscape.

The Dubai Visa permits you to marvel at these sky soaring buildings, beautiful bird-eye view of skyline, exotic nightlife and grandeur lifestyle. Seeping into its richness and exuberance, here are 5 record-breaking attractions in Dubai, which replicates its reputation of being premium and exclusive:

Burj Khalifa

The tallest freestanding structure in the world, scaling 2,716.5 feet high, Burj Khalifa is everything extraordinary. It looms high above the rooftops of the city with its remarkable designs. In the 160 stories, take a jaunt of mere seconds in the world’s fastest elevator cruising at 10m/sec, and reach ‘At The Top Sky’. This is a combination of 124th, 125th and 148th observation deck. The 124th floor has telescopes to get closer to the emirate’s skyline, 125th has a great space that allows unbelievable panoramic view of the city and 148th being the highest observation deck in the world indulges you in deluxe lounge and unprecedented spectacle. People hover here during the sunset as this is referred to as the magic hour when the sun goes down on this city of gold. Also the At.Mosphere on 122nd floor boasts world-class hospitality, quick service, sumptuous menu and majest

Desert Safari


Out of all the wonders, there is nothing which defines the Bedouin legacy as much as the vast and glorious desert in Dubai. Beginning your day with dune bashing and skiing the sand to ending the delightful evening with a mouth-watering array of Arabic dishes, this excursion promises an action-packed day. It is a fun getaway — camels walking in their natural habitat, sun throwing shades of red and orange, and belly dancers gracing the camp. You can select from the range of desert safari Dubai according to your budget, time and preferences.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Tucked away in the grand Dubai Mall, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a giant 10-million litre tank. The 33,000 aquatic animals boast the largest collection of sand tiger sharks. There is a 48m tunnel that would overlap on your head and would allow you to travel inside and explore the aquarium in a semi-circle. That means you can see the fishes and divers swimming overhead. It rises to the third storey, homes 140 sea species, and gives a unique experience of the underwater world. One can gear up,  swim with sharks, or simply see the divers feeding the sharks.

Dubai Mall

Amongst the success stories of awe-inspiring man-made marvels in Dubai, this is another legend. Dubai mall has over 1000 stores and restaurants fulfilling demands of every member of the family. It has globally recognised and most coveted brands at Fashion Avenue . Shoppers get the taste of personalised luxury with 200 brands on footwear, apparels, accessories, and more. Besides this extensive shopping, there is endless fun guaranteed with KidZania, Dubai Aquarium, Reel Cinemas, Vr Park, Hysteria, and Dubai Ice Rink. The sight of the iconic dancing Dubai Fountain at night will leave you awe-struck.

Burj Al Arab

Trotting through these swankiest malls, the hotels here are another milestones. Perched on its island overlooking the sea, Burj Al Arab is one of the tallest hotels in the world. It is a big name in the list of superlatives of the world. Owning 9 signature restaurants, ultra-luxurious suites, comfortable spa, infinity pools, gold interiors and opulent service, you can distinct this sail-shaped hotel from a distance. And the sweeping view of Arabian Gulf from the top is a treat for the eyes.

Ski Dubai

The city that has grown from the sand has finally beaten the heat and records with the skiing hub. Very contrast to what the temperature feels like in here, Ski Dubai is the massive indoor ski resort. Being the first of its kind in the Middle East, it promises a lifetime adventure. Spread across 15,000 square feet, and located inside the Mall of the Emirates, the resort features rides, runs, caves and more. It is unusual and rare to experience the real snow conditions inside a mall, while the city also has desert, lying few kilometres away. There are a plethora of options from playing with penguins and building a snowman to riding the Twin Track Bobsled and catching the chairlift as you slide down to the bottom.

Well, Dubai is all about big, bold and beautiful. Some other names in the list are-

  • Highest waterslide in Wild Wadi Water Park
  • Most Expensive Cocktail in Skyview Bar
  • Biggest Hotel Suite in H Dubai

So, have your Dubai airplane seats booked and get set for an unexpected holiday.
