Habibi, come to Dubai!! We’ve all heard this catchy phrase floating around on Instagram and TikTok, and let’s be honest, it is catchy! However, if it hasn’t convinced you to book a trip to Dubai just yet, let me give you a few reasons why you absolutely should experience the magic of the desert for yourself.
1. Visit the Burj Khalifa:
It is the world’s tallest building and offers a stunning 360° view of the city, desert, and sea. Sunset hours are magical.
Our recommendation:
👉 Review the experiences offered at the Burj Khalifa ahead of time on their Website
👉 Purchase your tickets on the Website ahead of time to ensure you get the tickets you want and skip the lines
👉 For all our recommendations, we suggest dressing modestly while traveling in Dubai to respect the culture. Please do your own research to understand the culture.
2. Explore the Dubai Mall:
I would humbly say that this is a world-class mall with an aquarium, ice rink, VR park, luxury shopping, and endless dining options. Every corner has something new to see and some exquisite food options. Your wallet may not be happy at the end, but you sure will be.
👉They have a beautiful fountain show in the evening and you definitely want to stay for this.
Our recommendation:
👉Plan your Dubai Mall adventure on the same day as the Burj Khalifa as they are located very close to each other
👉 Pre book any reservations for restaurants you really want to try.
3. Take a Desert Safari:
A truly mesmerizing experience in the sand while dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding, and attending traditional Bedouin camp dinners.
Our recommendation:
👉Pre-book your tickets to ensure a smooth experience through Trip Advisor
👉Inquire if your tour company provides hotel pick ups and drop off to make it easier for you
👉Go at sunset time for breathtaking views
👉We recommend taking disposable cameras to capture fun moments. Check out our favorite: Fujifilm Quick Snap
