Things I Did In Dubai
5 Must-Do Experiences in Dubai: My Unforgettable Adventure
Dubai is like stepping into a world where everything is bigger, bolder, and more glamorous. During my trip, I got to dive into some of the city’s most iconic experiences, and I’m here to share the five must-do things that made my Dubai adventure absolutely unforgettable.
1. Feeling on Top of the World at the Burj Khalifa
Let’s be real—no trip to Dubai is complete without visiting the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet! I took the elevator up to the observation deck on the 148th floor, and oh my gosh, the view was out of this world. Seeing Dubai from that height, with the desert on one side and the sparkling blue waters on the other, felt like a dream. If you go, try to catch the sunset. Watching the city light up below is pure magic!
2. Desert Safari: My Ultimate Arabian Adventure
I couldn’t wait to get out of the city and into the desert, and the safari did not disappoint. We started with dune bashing, which was like a roller coaster but on sand! My heart was racing the whole time, and I loved every second of it. Afterward, we headed to a traditional Bedouin camp where I tried camel riding (so much fun!), got a henna tattoo, and enjoyed a delicious barbecue dinner while watching a belly dancing show under the stars. It was such a cool way to experience a bit of the local culture.
3. Retail Therapy and More at Dubai Mall
Dubai Mall is not just a place to shop—it’s a whole experience! I spent hours wandering through the stores, from designer boutiques to cute little souvenir shops. But the mall has so much more to offer. I got up close and personal with marine life at the Dubai Aquarium, took a few spins around the ice rink, and ended my day watching the Dubai Fountain show. The fountains dance to the music, and it’s honestly so beautiful—perfect for a little Instagram moment!
4. Dining in Style: Dinner in the Sky
This was, hands down, one of the coolest dining experiences I’ve ever had! Dinner in the Sky literally lifts you and your table 50 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy an incredible meal with the most breathtaking views of the Dubai Marina. It’s a little nerve-wracking at first, but once you’re up there, the views and the food are totally worth it. I was so impressed by the whole experience, and it’s something I’ll be talking about for years!
5. Indulging at the Atlantis Saffron Brunch
Brunch in Dubai is a big deal, and the Saffron Brunch at Atlantis, The Palm, is like no other. Picture this: over 220 dishes from around the world, from sushi to the most decadent desserts. It was like a foodie’s paradise! The atmosphere was so lively, with music and entertainment that kept the party vibe going. I spent the afternoon indulging in way too much food, laughing with friends, and just soaking in the luxurious vibes. If you love brunch, this is a must.
Conclusion
Dubai is a city that has it all—glitz, glamour, adventure, and culture. These five experiences were the highlights of my trip, and I’m so excited to share them with you. Whether you’re planning your own trip or just dreaming about it, I hope this gives you a little taste of what makes Dubai so special. It’s a place where memories are made, and trust me, you’ll want to make a lot of them!
