| 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.
