Heaven for foodies and Shopaholics! Yes, Dubai is filled with seven-star hotels and souks that lures visitors around the world. But Dubai has also been a paradise for architecturer. With mind boggling skyscrapers and brilliantly designed hotels, Dubai has been a treat for their eyes. And to know more about this city, you need to explore it like a traveler. So, spending just a short vacation won’t work. Instead, plan a trip for 7-days in Dubai. Note down the spots which must not be missed. If you are wondering from where you should plan a vacation, here’s a snippet for you:
Check out Burj Khalifa
Though it is the obvious option, but you cannot ignore the presence of the world’s tallest man-made building that highlights Dubai’s cityscape. Don’t watch the building just from outside. Climb up to the observation deck, on the 124th floor of the building. It’s better if you go just before the sunset. As watching sunset from such a height is simply mesmerizing. And believe me, you are going to be awestruck by the aerial view of the entire city.
Admire the stunning view of Burj Al Arab from Jumeirah beach
Well! Excluding this name from Dubai’s trip planner will be a sheer foolishness. Just because you have seen many photographs of this skyscraper, it doesn’t mean you have seen it all. Watch this fourth tallest building in front of your eyes, then you will understand the reason behind its fame. And remember, being the only 7-star hotel is not the only reason for its popularity. It is the architecture that strikes the visitors the most. For a better view, just go to Jumeirah beach opposite to Burj to get the perfect photo opp.
Stroll along the sea on the beaches
When you are in Dubai, you will definitely like to see the shore. And if the Jumeirah beach looks too crowded for you, Al Mamzar is there for you. Though during weekdays, it is a bit difficult to reach this place because of a huge traffic. Options like Kite Beach and Jumeirah Beach park are also there for you.
Palm Jumeirah – a must name in the Dubai travel itinerary
By now, you must have heard ‘only in Dubai’ phrase from locals. Well! When you see Palm Jumeirah you will realize why is it so. It is one of the world’s largest artificial islands in the world. And the unique fact is its shape – that is of a Palm tree. With innumerable high-end hotels dotting along the streets of the island, Palm Jumeirah has turned into one of the hot spot for both locals and tourists. Hop on one of the monorail that will take you down to the ‘trunk’ and will get you back to the mainland as well.
Go for a Desert Safari
Dubai and deserts are inseparable. Hence, going for a Desert Safari is definitely required to admire the enchanting beauty of the vast desert. This desert safari is packed with adventure, culture, food, fun and entertainment. It starts with a bumpy ride on the sand dune, followed by a halt an Arabic style camp. Here, you get to see belly dancing, Turkish dancing, Sheesha, Heena painting and ends with an extravagant Lebanese cuisine.
End your trip with gold shopping
Plan your trip to Dubai in such a way that you get enough time to explore the Gold Souk of Dubai. As you know gold is really cheap in Dubai. So, if you don’t get at least one piece of jewelry from the souk, then it will be a sheer loss of a lifetime. At least take a tour in this souk. With numerous stores glittering with gold ornaments you won’t be able to hold yourself back. Girls, you need to be careful! This place is highly tempting for you.
Well, though this entire plan is enough for you to spend a 7-day trip in Dubai. But if you plan to stay more, you will definitely be able to explore a lot more untold corners of this Arabic city.
