Itinerary
Originally established as a fishing village in the 18th century, Dubai is now one of the most popular and contemporary tourist destinations worldwide. It's a location that embodies the complete potential of human creativity. Join us on our hop-on, hop-off trip, and we'll demonstrate its incredible beauty.
Our first destination is Dubai Mall, which has an aquarium and more than a thousand stores. It's the size of fifty football fields! When you emerge, be sure to look up to view the Burj Khalifa, one of the modern world's wonders and the highest structure in the world. It is more than twice as tall as the Empire State Building.
But Dubai isn't all about ultramodernity. When Dubai was considerably smaller, prior to the oil boom of the 1970s, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood was constructed. You may explore its intriguing traditional structures and meander along its cobblestone lanes. A lot of these buildings are now home to museums and galleries. Don't overlook the Spice & Gold Souks. With the exquisite fragrances of spices from across the globe and the captivating appeal of gold, platinum, and diamonds, they are a sensory delight.
Among the gems in the city's tourism crown is Madinat Jumeirah. Although this massive five-star building looks like a traditional Arab hamlet, it's actually one of the most opulent and premier vacation destinations in the world.
It should come as no surprise that Dubai was selected to host Expo2020, the most recent World's Fair, with the tagline "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future," given its remarkable blend of heritage and modernity. It will be the most recent magnificent addition to this amazing metropolis.
Popular Dubai attractions:
- The Dubai Mall: One of the largest shopping malls in the world.
- Al Seef Contemporary Area: It beautifully blends Dubai's historical and contemporary sides.
- Gold & Spice Souk: Wander through the bustling alleys of the Gold Souk and Spice Souk. Marvel at the glittering jewelry and experience the aromas of exotic spices.
- The Dubai Frame: Visit this iconic structure, which offers panoramic views of both old and new Dubai.
- Atlantis The Palm: Visit attractions like The Lost Chambers Aquarium or Aquaventure Waterpark if you have time.
- The Beach @ JBR: Spend some time at the beach, enjoying the sun and the vibrant atmosphere.
- Marina Promenade: Walk along the promenade, enjoy the views of the yachts, and maybe take a short boat ride. The area is bustling with cafes and restaurants.
