Dubai Sights

Dubai offers an incredible array of activities to enjoy, most of which are modern. The ever changing skylines are impressive day or night so make sure to take a camera. Major new projects are under construction such as Dubailand and The World island.





Perhaps the most well known landmark is the seven star Burj Al Arab, currently the tallest hotel in the world, standing at 321 metres from its base on Jumeira beach. This hotel, like most others in Dubai accepts visitors (although some charge) and are all well worth a visit.

Beaches are very clean and quite empty most of the time due to the high temperatures. Beach parks such as Jumeira Beach Park apply a small entrance fee to make use of the facilities including washrooms, beachfront restaurants, bed hire and access to the gardens.

 

 

 

 






Many leisure activities are on offer, such as scuba diving, water sports, golf, horse and camel racing events and even indoor real snow skiing! A variety of unforgettable Desert Safari packages are on offer from a variety of operators, the most well known is Arabian Adventures (www.arabian-adventures.com) which offer excellent service at surprisingly low prices.
