Dubai



 General Information

The Waterfall in the Dubai Mall

Dubai is one of the 7 emirates that make up the UAE (United Arab Emirates) and is possibly one of the most modern cities in the world. Its impressive skyline can be seen from far away and it currently boasts the tallest man-made structure in the world, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai is truly a global city with the larger part of its population being expatriates.
There are many websites on what to do in Dubai. Personally I always check out Tripadvisor because all the attractions are added and rated by visitors themselves. The highlight of this particular visit to Dubai was the mesmerizing Dubai Fountain at the Dubai Mall.

Language

Because of it’s international status as one of the new top tourist locations and because of the large expatriate community English is widely spoken.


Tip: If you have time, go to Wild Wadi Waterpark. However, make sure to bring a doctor’s letter if you need to bring your own food, as they have a strict food policy.
