Dubai is a vibrant city with several activities to do for you, your friends and your family.

 Being in Dubai is like a rollercoaster ride from feeling bewildered by places like the famous Dubai Miracle Garden to being amazed by modern architectural buildings like the Burj khalifa. 

Dubai takes comfort, luxury and lifestyle to the next level. A lot of Dubai’s top spots are located at the heart of the city. 

So sit tight while we explore these spots together.

• Dubai Miracle Garden

I bet you never guessed that the largest natural flower garden is located in Dubai. Coming as quite a shock for this beautiful garden located in the middle of the desert. 

This awestruck wonder is located in Dubailand and features over 45 million flowers. 

Yes, you read that right. 45 million flowers! 

Most of which are planted in the Gulf region. 

What makes this spot even more serenade is how the flowerbeds are designed.

The flowerbeds are designed in beautiful shapes like igloos, hearts, stars and even pyramids. 

This is one of those spots that you just have to see. Perfect for a picnic day with your family and friends. 

• Desert Safari 

You absolutely cannot come to Dubai and not take a tour of the desert. It would be a wasted trip without trying out a dune drive.

 While you are at it, you can go sandboarding (yes, it’s a real thing.) Or enjoy a relaxing camel ride and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the desert sunset. 

And don’t head back just yet, it would be a shame to miss the performance the belly dancers put on by the campfire at starlight. 

• Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo.

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo happen to be one of the largest aquariums worldwide. The 10 million litre Aquarium tank is located at the Ground level of the Dubai Mall. 

This Aquarium is home to thirty-three thousand aquatic animals and holds the record for the highest collection of sand tiger sharks around the world. 

To really enjoy this experience you can start off by taking a walk through the forty-eight-meter tunnel and watch the aquatic animals in their natural habitat. 

Or you can get a closer look using the Cage Snorkeling Experience that the Aquarium provides.

• The Wild Wadi 

Wild Wadi is the largest water theme park in the whole of the Middle East. It is located at the front of the stunning Burj Al Arab. 

This location literally screams Family Day as Wild Wadi offers 30 of the wildest and best rides for you and your family. 

Enjoy racing down the slides and playing with water guns with your kids. 

And if you are a thrill seeker then I definitely advise checking out the adrenaline-fueled rides like the Burj Surj. 

• Burj Khalifa

I saved the best for last. What better way to spend your day than in the tallest building in the world? 

The Burj Khalifa is three times as tall as the Eiffel tower in France. 

Ever dreamt of viewing the world around you from a height of over 500 metres? 

Then tick that off your bucket list as the Burj Khalifa observation decks are there for you. 

You can enjoy this view from either levels 148, 124 or 125. 

And of course one more perk, you’ll be dining at the tallest restaurant in the world. 

Dubai is an amazing city and picking out these top 5 places to visit was not an easy task. 

So stop by any of these spots and have the time of your life!
