It feels great to have an unrestricted view of the entire city at night from a height of nearly 600 meters. The service is also very good, with unlimited desserts and drinks. There are a little more people during the golden hour (sunset time), and it is difficult to find a seat, but there are more seats after that. The only drawback is that you have to go to the 124th or 125th floor to go downstairs, and then queue up to go downstairs.
You can go and have a look. After all, it is the highest point. On one side are high-rise buildings, and on the other side it feels like undeveloped wasteland. You can see the Burj Al Arab in the distance. The signs are very clear when you get out of the subway. You can get there by crossing Dubai Mall.

Great attraction in Dubai, but you must book a few weeks in advance. High recommendations.
The Museum of the Future in Dubai is a truly unique and inspiring experience that left me speechless from the very first steps. It is a true symbol of the city’s initiatives to introduce new technologies and ideas to improve the lives of humanity.The exterior of the building itself is impressive. Its futuristic form combines elegant lines and modern materials. The building really creates a feeling of being in the future. Inside the museum, there are many interactive exhibits dedicated to variou

The 52nd floor has glass, and the viewing experience is not as good as the higher 54th floor. It is unobstructed, but it costs 75AED on site, so decide which one to buy first. The view is amazing, and you must climb up to feel the panoramic view of Palm Island.
Experienced one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen at The Palm Dubai. The panoramic sights were nothing short of mesmerizing, capturing the sheer beauty of the city and the surrounding waters with a unique blend of modern architecture and natural splendor. The skyline, dotted with towering skyscrapers, offered a stark yet harmonious contrast against the deep blue sea.I took a leisurely walk around the area, absorbing the tranquility and grandeur it exudes.

The world-famous Palm Island, overlooking from the 52nd floor high-altitude observation deck, plus the Lost Chambers Aquarium in Atlantis, this 1+1 package is very suitable for day trip travelers and must be visited when you come to Dubai!
Arrived at the mall of Atlantis Hotel in Palm Island. Saw the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Asked on site and it was 155 Dirhams. I checked Ctrip and found that booking tickets on Ctrip was more than 200 cheaper than booking tickets on site at Atlantis Aquarium. It was amazing. It was very beautiful. Very shocking. Super good

Dubai photo frame is a business card for Dubai tourism. Tickets are not cheap, but it is rare to travel to Dubai. You still have to come to pilgrimage. The golden partition line is 1.618. The best math high-altitude building experience, don't miss it!
Need to feel it in person to understand it greatness and how beautiful it is in reality 🥰

A jeep safari in the desert in the UAE is an unforgettable experience! Driving through the dunes gives you adrenaline and impressions of picturesque landscapes. A show with belly dancing and other cultural performances creates an oriental atmosphere, and a dinner under the stars with traditional dishes leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I recommend it for lovers of adventure and unusual impressions!
An unforgettable experience in the heart of the desert! The Desert Safari Camp offers thrilling dune bashing, camel rides, and an authentic Arabian dinner. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is magical with beautiful desert views. Perfect for anyone looking for adventure and cultural immersion in Dubai!

Exploring the Dubai Gold Souk is a dazzling experience for any travelers looking for affordable jewelry that sheer variety of gold, diamonds, and precious gems is breathtaking.#jewelrydesign #affordableprice #nationaljewelleryLLC
Amazing to just wander around and window shop even if you are not buying. Lots of little shops and eateries around and the New Gold Souk area is pretty cool too and has loads of amazing restaurants and places to eat that don't break the bank! Also a great place to stay too with loads of decent branded hotels if like me you'd prefer to be in a much more affordable part of Dubai.

Around the world in Dubai. From Africa to Russia with a stop over in Japan, experience the world map at Global Village. Food festival from start to finish together with the markets for souvenir gifts. Entertaiment available with games for children and adults + show.Toilets clean, above expectations. All amenities available (hand soap, tissue...)
It's really good. There are still some performances inside. It is best to clarify what to see before going, otherwise the time is really not enough. This place is highly recommended with children. There are many amusement facilities inside, and there are suitable play items no matter what age. If you go to buy play items, you will ask to buy a card, the cost of the card is 5 dirhams, and it cannot be refunded.

A very cost-effective play experience. This season to Dubai, the climate is very comfortable, maybe because of the off-season, there are not many tourists in Legoland, choose the movie gate and Legoland, basically more than 80% of the project does not need to queue, the children are very happy. I went to the park in the morning, and I didn't leave until I closed the park. The experience was very good.
Go to Lego and the door of the movie, push the door of the movie! ! There are few people and there are many fun projects! ! ! However, there are many exciting projects if you are timid, you must observe it in advance hahaha. Legoland really has no projects to play, it is good to buy and buy around.
