Dubai, A World Beyond Imagination

Gail Lister on 21 July 2019
Are you ready to hit Dubai, a true city of the 21st century where history and culture meets action and adventure, meets luxury and shopping? Whether you're on a quick couple of days itinerary or have time to spare, don't ever think you've done Dubai, simply because Dubai is always outdoing itself. Trust me, I've been three times now and each time the city had expanded graciously but unrecognisably from before!

I just spent a fun filled city break there in July's heat (reaching the high 40s, I warn you, go prepared!) so here is my top must see’s for you! Please note, I can personally tailor your booking to your needs, if you're looking for adventure, or grandeur, culture or a mix!

Desert Safari

Get ready to feel the heat and ride the sand dunes in Dubai's surrounding deserts. This is an absolute must do for those out there ready for a thrill! Take a 4x4 or quad bike and let go, surf the sands and once you've had your fill, enjoy a camel ride and allow the beauty of the desert to sink in, as generations of Bedouins have done before you.

Burj Khalifa

Dubai is also a city known for breaking records and this time I'm talking about buildings. Visit the tallest building in the world and enjoy the view of the ever-evolving city or try your hardest to squeeze all 830 metres into one photo. To give you an idea to scale, Paris' Eiffel Tower is a mere 300m in comparison.

Atlantis Water Park

Go experience the thrills and pools of the world-famous Atlantis Water Park, a maze of adrenaline slides and drops, relaxing pools and tunnels where you can slide through beneath sharks and rays above you! This adventure park on a manmade island is guaranteed to give you a fun filled day for all the family!

Lost Chambers Aquarium

Get your view of the deep blue safe behind glass at the Lost Chambers aquarium in The Atlantis. You'll be overwhelmed at the magic of this place, endless amounts of fish, sharks and rays to marvel at. Enjoy a coffee and get lost at sea watching, or if you're feeling really brave, get your diving gear on and enjoy a scuba session!

Souks

Indulge yourself and visit Dubai's world-famous souks... but get ready to barter. Dubai's souks will open your senses and transfer you to new worlds of perfume, spices, jewellery, oils, teas and much more. Locals will persuade you in and shower you with their products but with great prices and their charm, how can you resist? If you're feeling daring, hit the local markets but in those times needing air con, a more relaxed atmosphere and easily accessible toilets, go to Jumeriah Madinat.

So there we have it, I'm not even beginning to scratch the surface of the opportunities and adventures Dubai holds for you but give me a call on 01603856590 or email at gail.lister@travelcounsellors.com to hear more and how I can make this your dream holiday of a lifetime. Book your trip now!
