Dubai is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai and one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is located along the Persian Gulf which connects to the Arabian Sea through the Strait of Hormuz. The city is renowned for its thrills, luxury shopping, fine dining, fancy cars, modern skyline, desert adventures, man-made islands Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and several more, and its architectural marvels and iconic landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Frame.
Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain Water Show
One of the worlds tallest building standing at a whopping 828 meters (2,717 feet) offering panoramic views of Dubai from your choice of three observation decks.
Luxury cars are all over Dubai. It's not unusual to see them around downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai international airport, Dubai Mall and the Mall of the Emirates.
Global Village
Global Village is an epic multicultural amusement park with over 90 countries represented in marketplace pavillions full of shopping, authentic foods, entertainment, cultural performances, special events and so much more. It's what I like to call "Disney's EPCOT on Steroids"! And yes, I absolutely love Global Village as you are about to see.
Ski Dubai
Ski Dubai is an indoor ski resort located inside the Mall of the Emirates featuring 5 different slopes of difficulty, a snow park, ski lessons and a cool penguin encounter.
Gold Souq
is located in the Deira neighborhood which has the city's oldest souks in Dubai. Opinions vary on the authenticity of the gold products and perfumes. Buyer beware! With that said it is definitely worth while to visit and browse the unique windows.
