Here is a picture of me standing in front of the tallest
building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.
I was getting nauseated just looking up at this building. I don’t know how Tom Cruise manage to do some of those
crazy stunts from this building here for his Mission Impossible movie, but I
was fine with both my feet on the ground.
Unless if Hollywood
wants to pay me 30 million bucks, I might possibly consider :-))) Okay lets get to the stuff to do, as there is so
much, but here are a few must see places and things to do.
The Dubai Mall, wow wow wow, I have never been to a mall
like this. World class shopping all over
Dubai and this
mall is no exception. In the Dubai Mall you
will find more than just high-end stores like Oscar de la Renta and Valentino, but also entertainment and activities for the entire family. With a spectacular fountain display, the Dubai
Ice Rink, and the Dubai Aquarium, it will be easy to spend a whole day exploring
all the sights in the Dubai Mall, as well as dropping some bucks on the fine stores. This was the most beautiful mall I have ever stepped foot in. Wow I could only imagine how much it cost to build this gorgeous mall.
The Atlantis Waterpark, this is located in the Atlantis Resort, this is another example of things to do in Dubai that are ideal for any age. Atlantis Dubai’s waterpark has everything from
a Dolphin Bay where you can interact with dolphins
to Aquaventure, a 42-acre area with slides, rapids, an area for kids, and a
beach.
Jumeirah Beach Park, this is a wonderful area with many
things to do.
It is a park situated right on the beach, complete with tables, grills, and
play areas for kids. Whether you want to swim in the ocean or the pool, the Jumeirah Beach Park
has both to offer. Or if you rather not
have a day of sand and water, and rather be skiing, then head over to Ski Dubai, yes skiing in Dubai, how strange you might be thinking, but it is an enclosed building that blows snow year-round and offers slopes for
skiing, sledding, and snowboarding.
The Gold Souk is for you if you prefer shopping outside of a mall. I definitely enjoy outside shopping, and prefer the outside markets by far, as compared to indoor malls. The street markets are my favorite shopping, as I feel it is nicer then being stuck in some building, but that is just my personality, and the Gold Souk might be right up your alley too. Street lined with vendors selling products
made of gold and offering quality jewelry.
Also if you like museums then check out The Dubai Museum, the purpose of this museum is to present the
traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai, so soak up a couple hours of
learning at this museum, and don’t forget to complete your mission and head over to Burj
Khalifa. Until next time, mission possible - nothing is impossible :-)))
