Dubai Trip

These days the name of Dubai almost seems synonymous with Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world. And its a pretty interesting place to visit, especially when you start paying attention to the hospitality offered there. The observation deck at 124th floor here, better known as At The Top, actually provides an At The Top view of the surroundings as far as your vision goes. You actually feel At The Top unless you care to look above at the higher floors.

Dubai Mall located at the ground floor of Burj Khalifa might be the most visited place in Burj Khalifa, since it also gives way to 'At The Top'. But it's a lavish place as malls in Dubai are expected to be and you might have a good time here if you love malls and shopping.

Outside the Dubai Mall

Dubai Fountain is located just outside Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. There is a 5 minute show every half an hour in the evening starting at 6pm and it's good.

Dubai Museum is an interesting place to visit. The exhibits don't always look modeled. For a moment, they actually make you feel wonder if its real.

Burj Al Arab is another feather in Dubai's cap. The hotel that's rated as world's first seven-star hotel has an amazing architecture and the adjacent beach adds to its beauty.

The infrastructure in Dubai is pretty good and unless you pay close attention you might not even notice that your car is running on a Floating Bridge or in an underwater tunnel.

Dubai is divided into two parts - Deira Dubai and Bur Dubai by a creek. Deira Dubai is old Dubai where people traditionally lived and is house for conventional trades. Bur Dubai was the uninhabited Dubai earlier that now has been a ground for all modern and world-class developments in Dubai. The creek that flows between Dubai is home to many floating dinner cruise restaurants popularly known as Dhow Cruise. The food can be a big disappointment here but what made the evening was the cultural performances after dinner and of course, don't forget to look outside for the Lightened Dubai skyline makes for a beautiful view.

Palm Islands are well-known for their design and architecture. Standing on the crescent with Hotel Atlantis at your back and sea view in front is a good time.
