Visit Dubai

Dubai, located in the United Arab Emirates, is the largest city in the country with nearly 1.6 million inhabitants.Capital of the emirate in which it is located, the Emirate of Dubai, it is not the political capital of the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi).

Dubai remains a small town long the Persian Gulf living mainly from fishing, until 1950 when the discovery of oil propelled the city into the 21st century.

Back from Dubai with his head full of images, I can not tell you the countless things I could discover. I will, however, try to show you the best Dubai by presenting things that I was most marked.

What to do in Dubai

No doubt, in Dubai you will not be bored. Wanting to take the place of the "world capital of tourism", Dubai is no shortage of unique places to visit. We will begin our trip through the city in Dubai revealed to the world.

Palm Beach Hotel Atlantis

The famous palm tree painted on the water consists of 16 fins and a trunk. It houses mainly villas, hotels for a total of nearly 10,000 residents. Do not be fooled by appearances, the pictures are quite misleading, this "artificial palm tree" near measuring 5 km in diameter and 11 km long. After to palm you will find the luxurious Atlantis, with its distributor gold and rooms with views of the aquarium. The best ways to get there are undoubtedly a taxi or the mono-rail.

Al Arab and "The World" Burj

Symbol of the Burj Al Arab Dubai (Burj means "tower" in Arabic), was built in 1993 The tower is actually a luxury seven stars. Top 321 m or 38 floors, the building has long been used as high in Dubai. It sits on an artificial island designed for the hotel. Famous for its particular shape representing a sail, this luxury hotel is closed to visitors. You can still enter by booking for tea for a price around 70 euros. Another impressive building in Dubai, the world's islands and The World. The World is a collection of artificial islands representing the world. Between 250 and 300 islands are under construction, these islands will be sold later, villas will be built. These are visible from Burj Khalifa, with a helicopter tour or, as the architect, from the International Space Station.

Dubai Mall and Ski Dubai

Dubai Mall and Ski Dubai are two essential parts of the city. Dubai Mall, located at the foot of Burj Khalifa, is the largest mall in the world. More than 1,200 shops, an aquarium, waterfalls, Olympic ice skating ... It's a place that is worth visiting, it has many records of all kinds, as the largest acrylic panel in the world that gives view of an aquarium where you can admire the rays, sharks and other marine species. You can very easily get lost in this maze. Many cafes and restaurants are available. The free unlimited Wi-Fi access is very convenient if you do not have internet connection.Depending on the length of your stay I suggest you go check it out and leave in the late afternoon, you can admire the magnificent spectacle of fountains and Burj Khalifa illuminated. These jets are also a record for Dubai with the highest water jet in the world, just ahead of Las Vegas.
Another unusual place in Dubai, the Ski Dubai. Located in the Mall of the emirate, second Mall of Dubai, Ski Dubai is a real ski slope. Pretty impressive considering how hot the local climate.

Marina district

The Headquarters in Dubai Marina is one of the most beautiful areas of the city. The marina is the largest in the world, with nearly 200 buildings, including some of the world's finest. Stroll along the marina is lovely, surrounded the building canals offer a unique view.

Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa is of course the fashionable place in Dubai where you have to go during your stay. Burj Khalifa is indeed a tower 828m high for more than 160 floors. This tower is the tallest in the world. It effectively combines many records. You will find, for example, the fastest in the world (40 km / h) lift. Despite some controversy over the working conditions of employees, nearly 12,000 people took part in its construction.
This tower is located south of the old Dubai in the district of downtown Burj Khalifa, right next to the Dubai Mall and opposite the Dubai fountain with the world's tallest fountains.
This tower can be visited, you can actually buy tickets around 30 euros. If you can, please buy your tickets in advance online. This ticket will allow you to get to 124th floors to be 425m tall. Beware ears hurt during the climb, the speed of the elevator is quite impressive. Will bring you to a terrace with a view of Dubai and "The World." In the distance you will see Palm Beach and Burj Al Arab.

Visit Dubai: How to move?

Candidate to be the world capital of tourism, Dubai is no exception regarding transportation.
To visit Dubai you will be required to use a means of transport. You will have the choice to travel by taxi for very reasonable prices. There are many in this city, and regularly stop by the roadside offering tourists a little too reckless to facilitate their travel. Indeed, the distances are quite impressive and misleading. It finds herself having to go 5 or 6 km to get from one point of the city to another in the heat sometimes difficult to bear.
Alternate transportation, subway, found in various locations in the city, it will lead you to the sights and from the city center in Palm Beach.
Buses are also available. If you decide to opt for this mode of transportation you can enjoy the air conditioning stops.
