What are the best attractions in Dubai

Dubai is a beautiful place. Today, I’m going to tell you about some of the best attractions in Dubai, and which attractions are the most beautiful. You can take a look and see if it matches the Dubai in your heart.

Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa is Dubai’s world-renowned first landmark, also known as the Dubai Tower. It has appeared in the movie “Mission: Impossible 4”, where Tom Cruise shows off his skills by climbing the Burj Khalifa barehanded. Here you can experience the world’s fastest elevator and the tallest building. Within 2 minutes, you can go from the ground to the “top” of the world, experiencing the impact of flying speed. On the high-level viewing platform, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Dubai, including the man-made wonder Jumeirah Palm Island and the Burj Al Arab.

【How to buy tickets?】

It is best to buy tickets in advance and choose the time slot, otherwise you may not be able to buy them on the day. You can book tickets on the official website, and Mafengwo local tour ticketing can also book tickets (cheaper than booking on the official website). The Burj Khalifa tickets are divided into peak season and off-peak season. The peak season is around sunset, and the price is double the off-peak season, because you can see the bustling Dubai night view. In addition to the peak and off-peak seasons, there are also 124th floor and 124th floor. There are 148 floors. The 148th floor has the best view. There are welcome drinks, sofas and open-air platforms when you get off the elevator (also with glass separation); the 124th floor is a closed indoor observation platform.

【How to get there?】

Carpooling: When booking tickets online in China, you can book a pick-up and drop-off service.

Taxi: It only costs about 60-70 AED to take a taxi directly from the airport. When taking a taxi, pay attention to not just saying Dubai Tower or Burj Khalifa. It is best to say Dubai Mall directly.

Light rail: Take the Red Line (MRed) to Burj Khalifa Metro Station.

If you are going on your own, please note: Arrive 15 minutes before the booking time to exchange tickets and store your luggage.

Seven-star Burj Al Arab

Besides the Burj Khalifa, the world’s first seven-star hotel – Burj Al Arab (Burj Al Arab) is also famous all over the world. It is shaped like a sailboat, known as the Burj Al Arab. Since it’s a seven-star hotel, you can imagine its consumption level. Everyone’s evaluation of it is basically that it looks magnificent from afar, and when you look closely at the interior facilities, you can only feel luxurious, not as impressive as it looks from the outside. So if you don’t have much time, you can just admire it from afar on Jumeirah Beach.

【How much does it cost to stay one night?】8000 yuan per night in the off-season

【Can you enter if you don’t stay?】You can enter, there is only one way, the cheapest way is to book an afternoon tea, or dinner. Afternoon tea, which is relatively cheap, is a popular choice for many tourists. Business is booming, and it is more secure to book in advance. I booked the AL MARAHA Underwater Restaurant at the Burj Al Arab. The characteristic of this restaurant is that it is located on the ground floor. You can see the fish in the aquarium up close, and the dining environment of the restaurant is very good, and everything is strictly arranged according to the French western food standards.

Dubai Mall + Dubai Aquarium

Under the Burj Khalifa is the world’s largest department store – Dubai Mall. If you are a shopping lover, I guarantee that the moment you step into it, you will feel like you have reached heaven. You can buy everything from cheap and easy-to-wear chain brands to luxurious and elegant limited editions. You won’t get bored even if you spend the whole day here. The aquarium and underwater zoo inside are also a must-see!

【How big is it?】

Dubai Mall is considered to be the largest mall in the world, with three floors above ground and one floor below ground, each floor is as big as 50 football fields, with 1200 shops, it will take you three days and three nights to shop!

【What can you do besides shopping?】

There is a huge aquarium in the Dubai Mall, which is bigger than the Kuroshio Sea at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The most recommended is the Underwater Zoo, where you can meet many cute little animals.

【What’s worth buying?】

The brands here are relatively complete, from international brands like Dior, LV, etc. to high-street brands like HM, ZARA, etc. International brands are cheaper than in China. The most worth buying here are watches! It’s very cheap, a 40,000-50,000 watch in China can be bought for over 10,000 yuan during a promotion here!

Jumeirah Public Beach

One of the few public beaches in Dubai, the sand is fine and clean, and it’s also a great place to admire the Burj Al Arab. Although everyone is usually wrapped up tightly, you can throw away your headscarf and take off your jacket to enjoy the sunshine here – Jumeirah Public Beach, there are great beaches and parks, free to enter, the beach has male and female changing rooms, wearing bikinis is legal here. It’s also a good place to take pictures of the Burj Al Arab.

【How to get there?】

The only inconvenience is that it’s quite far from the public transit. Transportation: Take buses 8, 88, C10, X28 and get off at Jumeirah Mosque (Jumeirah Mosque) station and walk to the beach (far away). Or take a taxi (recommended). It costs about 90 dirhams to take a taxi from the airport to here.

【Tips】

Although it’s open 24 hours a day, it’s not safe to go into the sea at night, so it’s recommended not to go at night, and camping is prohibited on the beach.

【Estimated time】Two to four hours

Dubai Museum

This is a comprehensive museum, converted from an Arabic fort, and is the oldest existing building in Dubai. Located in the Fahesidi Fort, built in 1787. It features life-sized replicas of the ancient souk with lifelike figures. There are Hollywood-like scenes: camels, oases, campfires, etc., where you can learn about the history and development of the United Arab Emirates. Stepping into this place is like getting Doraemon’s time machine, seeing the changes over a hundred years.

【Estimated time】About two hours

Gold Souk + Spice Souk

What is Dubai most famous for? Say it with me: Gold!!! When you come to Dubai, you must go to the famous Gold Souk, just walk through the alleys across the Dubai Creek. Gold Street is an ancient and quaint market, with red tiles covering the streets above, Arabic patterns carved on the wooden beams, and rows of neatly hung chandeliers. There are hundreds of shops here, from necklaces, bracelets, rings, head ornaments to even vests, everything you can think of! Most are 22K, but 18K and 24K are also available. The price of gold per gram converted to Chinese yuan is about 180 yuan.

【How to get there?】The Spice Souk is opposite the Gold Souk. Take bus C2, C5, C9, X23 and get off at Gold Souk and then walk.

【Bargaining tips】The gold price here is indeed cheaper than in China, but the workmanship fee is a bit high. If you want to bargain, you can only bargain on the workmanship fee. The Spice Souk is even more interesting, like a spice museum, where various aromas and colors collide to create a unique landscape. In the Spice Souk, you will smell the strong, pungent aroma of Arabian spices, perfumes, incense, and edible seasonings for sale. The air in the old street is filled with the smell of spices, herbs, nuts and bean seeds, dried fruits and chili peppers. The scarves, handicrafts and snacks, candies, fruit tea, etc. here are very cheap, and most importantly, you can bargain.

【How to get there?】Take the water bus across the Dubai Creek, and you will reach the Spice Souk after crossing the river. Both the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk are located in the old city.
