Desert dust and city bustle, Dubai is the ultimate hustle

Introduction:

Dubai a dream destination for every tourist holds significance charm and attractions due to its preserved historical journey back to 18th century and its stunning developed architecture, skyscrapers that make it the world’s most developed and modern city as at the sometime.

Dubai the home the the world’s tallest tower Burj Khallifa standing at the height of 828 meters and the Palm Island which is the world’s biggest man made island making its position prominent on the world map and attract every traveler around the world.

 

A short journey of 4 days and 3 nights package which I would say was the first comes in mind option to explore this beautiful city. And to plan the journey in a way that can cover the most important landmarks, attractions and experiences which makes Dubai as one of the leading city in the world for tourism and hospitality.

 

The best 5 things I would say in the short trip of 4 days would recommend following:

 

Historic Dubai city tour:

A journey to the past by taking a 4 hours tour of Historical sights visit in Dubai. This 4 hours Dubai city tour will take you to the journey of discovery how this city developed from a small fishing village to the world’s most developed place. Visiting Dubai museum located in al Fahidi historical area, A traditional Abra ride crossing and visiting the traditional Gold and spice souk in old district. Do not forget to see the world’s most biggest ring which is around 64 KG and name as “Taiba”. You can buy traditional spices which are mainly from middle east like Iran and Arabic food ingredients to try out. Visiting the Jumeirah district which is the famous upscale neighborhood known for its high end life style, recreational activities, beaches and iconic attractions like Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach hotel and many more.

In short this trip gives you the best of the old discovery of Dubai. And recommended to do this with a professional guide to get each piece of information about Dubai.

The ideal timing for this activity is from morning based starts at 9 AM and lasts for 4-5 hours in total duration.

 

Dubai Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner:

Desert wonder which I would say you cannot leave Dubai without experiencing it. A trip to the Arabian desert of duration around 6 hours. With the pick up from your hotel. The trip was amazing as it includes fun, adventure, cultural presentation and experience which I would say you will not get anywhere else. With the pick up from your hotel and arrived at the desert meeting point in a 4x4 jeep (which can take 5-6 persons). In this meeting point you can try out renting the self drive quad bikes at additional if not booked in our package already. The fun adventure starts from here when you get on 4x4 to drive over the dunes calling it “Dune bashing”. This roller coaster ride experience lasts around 20-25 minutes and a stop in the middle of the desert over the dunes where you can capture the amazing photos and breathtaking scenery of beautiful desert wonder of Arab land. Reach out to the desert camp to try out the activities like camel riding, sand boarding. In evening we got the dinner bbq and the best part in this was the seating designed at the desert camp totally traditional style like bedouins. And the picture to give about the live entertainment shows like belly dance, tanoora dance I would say the best way to promote the local heritage and experience like a local for every tourist to feel.

 

Burj Khalifa At the Top:

This was the best thing I would say to experience the city view from 360 degree view in Burj Khalifa. Burj Khalifa as known the world’s tallest tower standing at the height of 828 meters and having 163 floors in total. Tower have observation deck at 3 sections 124,125 floor (called formally Burj Khalifa At the TOP), 148 floor (called SKY Floor) and 154,153 and 152 floor observation deck (called “Lounge experience”).

The mesmerizing views from the observation deck left you stunning as you will see Dubai’s all major landmarks like Palm Island, the famous sheikh Zayed road, downtown Dubai and Dubai fountains burj lake. There are multi functions binoculars installed as well you can see the close up views of any attraction as well. Visit of the observation deck is yes a site to behold. After Burj Khalifa you can visit Dubai mall and have dinner or lunch as well.

Visit of the observation deck best in morning hours it opens from 9 Am and also you can option for the evening or sunset slots as well.

 

Grand Mosque Abu Dhabi tour from Dubai:

Famous for its marvelous structure, breathtaking views and stunning architecture Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is largest mosque in United Arab Emirates. With the capacity of 40,000 worshipers the mosque is one of the main visiting attraction in Abu Dhabi for every tourist visiting Emirates. A journey of 1.5 hours from Dubai mosque is located near the downtown city Abu Dhabi. It was the a full day plan actually to visit the city of Abu Dhabi and our guide mentioned that the mosque is the main attraction of this activity. You may need around 1 to 1.5 hour to visit the whole mosque including the prayer section, main courtyard and the surroundings. Do not forget to follow the dress code to get entry to the mosque. The entrance for tourist is free of charge. Mosque opens every day from 9 AM (during Fridays it has different schedule due to the prayer timings).

 

Palm Jumeirah Island:

Man made world’s biggest island in the world in Dubai called Palm Jumeirah. This island I believe is one of the icon of human engineering. Island construction project done by the famous developer Nakheel in 2008. It is home of many luxury resorts, hotels, and residential buildings. Island have its 16 fronds and main trunk which Is connected till the last crescent by road and a monorail.

what I did in the Palm island that I consider the best part was to visit the island and its biggest water park called Atlantis Aquaventure water park with the experience of direct encounter of dolphins in this venue.

Things you can do in the Palm island is visiting the Atlantis the Palm (the middle east one of the luxurious resort), Atlantis Aquaventure Park (biggest water park in middle east with world record slides and rides), Lost chamber aquarium, Pointe (water promenade), Dining experience in one of the restaurants having the amazing view so the Atlantis the Palm, Nakheel mall (state of the art shopping mall), water activities (jet ski, paddle boating), Yacht experience and much more.

 

There are a lot other stuff that can be done during your visit. But yes the best ones are the main which you can do in least of 3 or 4 days program. Dubai is home of theme parks, adventure activities and experience for every age traveler. Weather you traveling with family, friends or couple you will be able to get the options that suites according to your interest.
