Your digital welcome booklet in Dubai

Welcome to Dubaithe city of gold

Dubai is a particularly rich city that has become very touristy in recent years. It is not full of historical monuments or history since it is a relatively young city but it knows how to make a place for itself. The contrast between Europe, France and Dubai is striking.

We discover a clean city, very safe with a young population of all origins. One can find this American feeling of everything is possible.

VisitDubai

Let’s first talk about its historical dimension. Although we can’t compare Dubai to our European cities, you will still find vestiges of the past. The districts of Deira and Bur Dubai are the oldest and most traditional districts of Dubai.

It is particularly interesting to discover the Dubai museum. It shows what life was like before the discovery of oil and you will see that it was very different.

The souksand mosques

Enjoy discovering its different souks and especially its gold souk. It is unusual and different from the image that we can have of oriental souks.

The old Dubai in its entirety is to be discovered. If you have to select only one monument to see in this part of the city then choose without hesitation the Imam Hussein mosque. Less known than the Jumeirah mosque but just as beautiful.

The moderndistricts

Let’s move on to the Dubai of modern times. Its most famous building: The Burj Khalifa which is none other than the highest building in the world. A good way to estimate the excessiveness of Dubai.
It will be possible for you to go up to the 148th floor to admire the view.

Just at its feet you will find the Dubai Fountain. Do not miss the water show from 6pm. It is magnificent and changes every 30 minutes.

Unusualshopping

Dubai is also its shopping malls including the Dubai mall which is the largest in the world. It even has a ski slope and a gigantic aquarium. It’s a must see at least once but maybe not in its entirety because it would take you hours!

Unless you are a shopping fan 😉

Walking aroundoutside

Two relatively nice places to go; the Miracle Garden. A bit out of town, this huge botanical garden gathers more than 40 million flowers. Arches and floral patterns are to be discovered. Very nice place to walk around.

And Global Village which is a big space also outside the city which gathers many restaurants from all over the world as well as attractions and cultural entertainment stands.

The Palmthe artificial island

You can’t come to Dubai without discovering The Palm. You must have heard of it. It is this immense artificial island in the shape of a Palm tree. It gathers many luxury hotels and chic restaurants.

It is pleasant to go there at nightfall because it faces the Atlantis which is all lit up. It is a very beautiful place to admire the sunset.

Visitsnot to be missed

Finally, there are two places that are not to be missed. The visit in the desert of course. You can go there with a 4×4 or a buggy. It’s up to the preference of each one. It will also be possible for you to choose the excursion with a night in the desert for an additional price. Small advice, if you can make this excursion for the sunset. The panorama is breathtaking.

And to finish in beauty, its beaches. Almost all of Dubai’s beaches are fee-based. You’ll even find beaches that are exclusively for women. Don’t miss a swim at JBR Beach and discover the Marina district which is entirely pedestrian.

As you will have understood, the United States are not the only ones to love and maintain excessiveness, Dubai is definitely an outstanding competitor. We don’t come to Dubai for the same reasons as we would visit Athens for example, but we still leave with a lot of memories.

Do not hesitate to go and discover it, to make your own opinion on the megalopolis of the United Arab Emirates. And above all, fill in your booklet! 😊
