Dubai is the city of the future, where ultra-modern skyscrapers stand side by side with ancient bazaars, and cutting-edge technology blends harmoniously with Eastern traditions. It is a place where you can look into the future, immerse yourself in luxury and feel the magic of the East. It's a place where every corner tells its own story and every building is a symbol of someone's ambition.
If you visit this amazing metropolis, be sure to include the following sights in your itinerary.
Burj Khalifa - the symbol of Dubai
Burj Khalifa is the tallest skyscraper in the world (828 metres). Climb to the At the Top observation deck on the 124th and 148th floors for panoramic views of the city and desert. Dubai is particularly impressive at night, when millions of lights are lit up. As the sun sets over the horizon, turning the sky into a fiery pink canvas, the Burj Khalifa at the top offers one of the most mesmerising views in the world.
Dubai Fountains - a grand water show
At the foot of the Burj Khalifa are the Singing Fountains, the largest choreographed water installation in the world. The fountains 'dance' to music, releasing jets of water up to 150 metres high. The show runs every 30 minutes from 18:00 to 23:00 every day.
Dubai Mall is a shopaholic's paradise
The world's largest mall offers not only luxury brands but also unique entertainment: an aquarium and underwater zoo, an ice skating rink, a VR park and KidZania, a children's city. Dubai Mall is not just a shopping centre, it is a city within a city, where you can spend an entire day being amazed by everything around you.
Jumeirah Palm - an oasis amidst the waves
The legendary man-made island of Palma Jumeirah is an architectural marvel visible from space. It is home to some of Dubai's most luxurious hotels, including the famous Atlantis The Royal. It is the place to visit the Aquaventure water park, the Dolphin Bay dolphinarium and dine in restaurants overlooking the Persian Gulf. Palma is an epicentre of splendour, where skyscrapers pierce the sky like golden spears and the azure waters of the Gulf reflect dreams and ambitions.
Dubai's Future Museum - If there's one place where you can see the future today
A beautiful, futuristic building that resembles a silver ring dotted with Arabic calligraphy, like a portal to the past. Inside are exhibits that seem like science fiction: artificial intelligence, space technology, tomorrow's biomedicine. You can walk around a virtual space station, explore cities of the future and even see what the world might look like in 2071.
Dubai Frame - a portal between eras
A unique architectural landmark in the shape of a giant frame (150 metres). When the sun touches the horizon, Dubai Frame transforms into a golden arch that connects the city's past and future. On one side is the old part of Dubai, with its cosy markets and authentic Arabic architecture. On the other, ultra-modern skyscrapers and technological innovation. And right beneath your feet is a glass floor that makes you feel like you are floating between two worlds.
Jumeirah Mosque - a touch of religious tradition
When you travel to Dubai, it's a must to get in touch with its religious traditions. The Jumeirah Mosque is a perfect example of Arab religious architecture. It is also the only mosque where people of all faiths can worship.
The mosque was opened after the events of 11 September 2001 to acquaint the whole world with the original Muslim traditions and to say that the ancient religion has nothing to do with terrorism. To visit the mosque, the traditional dress code must be observed: shoulders and knees covered and, for women, the head covered.
Miracle Garden - a floral paradise in the heart of the desert
It's hard to believe that in the middle of the arid sands is the Dubai Miracle Garden, the world's largest garden, where 150 million flowers are transformed into giant figures. Here you can see an Emirates jet covered in flowers, arches pulsating with colour and even houses wrapped in living plants, like the backdrop to a fairy tale.
Global Village - an open-air miniature world
Every evening, Global Village transforms into a platform where you can visit 80 countries in a matter of hours. The pavilions of Japan, France, Egypt, India and Russia are side by side, offering guests national dishes, traditional souvenirs and ethnic performances. It is a place where cultures meet and every corner opens up a new page in the world's history. Open from October to April, Global Village offers an international festival atmosphere.
Ain Dubai - Eye on the Universe
Finish your trip to Dubai at the top of Ain Dubai, the world's largest observation wheel. From a height of 250 metres, the view is hypnotic: the lights of the skyscrapers gleam, the azure sea sparkles in the moonlight and the endless line of the desert disappears on the horizon. This is the moment when the world seems to be in your hands.
Dubai is not just a city, it is a fantastic universe where the boldest dreams come true. From high-rise observation decks to traditional markets, from luxury hotels to extreme desert experiences, there's something for everyone. So pack your bags and embark on a journey that is sure to leave an unforgettable impression!
