Joburg Admin / August 29, 2024

Dubai, the crown jewel of the UAE, calls Joburg travellers with its dazzling skylines. You’ll find luxurious experiences and thrilling adventures at every corner. Dubai’s world is far from Joburg’s energy, offering a unique escape. UAE has redefined the experience of luxury. It has expanded the definition of ‘Grand Opulence.’ Dubai is an exotic location in the world. It is the perfect tourist destination in the Middle-Eastern countries. Dubai is the most popular Emirate.

Dubai offers different activities. Take part in them to make your trip more memorable. Get a car for rent in Dubai to move around the city and explore every corner. It lets you roam the city at your own pace. Starting from Audi to Lamborghini, you can rent it all. Car rental price starts as low as about $60. 

Here’s what you can do to ensure your Dubai trip stands out.

Join the Dubai Shopping Festival and Art Gallery

You’ll find the biggest shopping festival here. Don’t miss it if you love shopping. The festival provides various instruments, artifacts, gifts, clothes, food items, and electronic products. This event is every shopper’s dream. Navigate the narrow alleys lined with traditional wind-tower architecture. This is far from Joburg's modern buildings. Explore art galleries and cultural centres that tell Dubai's rich history. Those cosy cafes? They offer a glimpse into Dubai's past, with a side of sarcasm.

Book a Tour to Burj Khalifa

The demand for the Burj Khalifa tour is very high. So, book your tour in advance. Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building. You can see it from far away. However, seeing it up close offers an unmatched experience. The Dubai Fountain with 6000 lights and 50 coloured projectors outside is stunning. Its view during the night is magical. Book your tickets in advance and get ready for amazing city views. You will marvel at the panoramic cityscapes from high above. Look down to see the dazzling Dubai Fountain, which might just make you question reality.

Skydive Over the Palm Jumeirah Islands

Skydive over Palm Jumeirah islands to take your adventure to the next level. Your free-fall from the airplane will take you to amazing locations at a speed of over 120 mph. 

Skydiving is assisted by an instructor. Hence, it is truly safe. This adventurous activity will leave a lasting impression on your mind. 

Desert Dune Safari

Go on a Desert Dune Safari. You can take your own rented Range Rover with specially trained drivers to explore the desert. After the ride, ride onto the camel for a fun ride across dunes to go sunboarding or watch the sunset. Picture the excitement of sandboarding in the expansive desert. Riding a camel under the vast sky brings its own wonder. Big difference from Joburg's busy streets, right?

Visit Bastakiya Quarter 

Don’t forget to include Bastakiya Quarter in your itinerary. AL Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood is also called Bastakiya Quarter. It invites visitors to experience what life used to be like in the past. You can learn about traditional wind-tower architecture that provides old-style air conditioning. Its narrow alleys will remind you of the simpler times. The district has a lot to explore. It includes cultural centres, galleries, and cosy cafes. 

Snowy Escape at Ski Dubai

Visit Sky Dubai and make it the highlight of your trip. The indoor snow paradise is within the Mall of the Emirates. Pre-book the tickets to skip the lines and dive directly into the snowy fun. The large slopes, whimsical Snow Park, and snowboarding opportunities are a sharp contrast to the city’s heat. It can be a unique experience. 

Stay at the Burj Al Arab

Burj Al Arab is a hotel shaped like a tower.  At the hotel you will enjoy a luxurious experience. It offers a personal butler service. So, you have someone always available to attend to you. 

The stay also gives you access to private beaches. You can picture yourself lounging on white, soft sand with crystal clear water of the Persian Gulf. The private beaches are only reserved for the guests of Bur Al Arab.

Explore Dubai Marina on a Private Yacht

Rent a private yacht to explore the Dubai Marina to make your trip special. It gives you the chance to view the city from the water and feel the breeze.
