Here are ten compelling reasons why you should put Dubai at the top of your travel bucket list:
1. Iconic landmarks and architecture
Dubai is overflowing with some of the most famous landmarks in the world with their incredible innovative architecture. This includes the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the Burj Al Arab, often described as the most luxurious hotel in the world.

2. Thrilling attractions
Dubai offers endless fun and excitement, from jet skiing through the Dubai Marina to shopping until you drop in the Dubai Mall. Every day brings something new to experience. If you’re looking for an experience which is unique to Dubai, head into the Arabian Desert for a wild safari ride over the dunes, for a day jam packed with lots of sandboarding, dune bashing and camel riding.
You could also visit Dubai Parks and Resorts, which features a selection of world-class theme parks and water parks. This includes MOTIONGATE™ Dubai, Real Madrid World Dubai, LEGOLAND® Dubai and LEGOLAND® Water Park.
