Our hotel is in a walking distance to Dubai mall & Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower.

The United Arab Emirates, sometimes simply called the Emirates or the UAE, is a country located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf. Established on 2 December 1971, the country is a federation of seven emirates. Each emirate is governed by a hereditary emir who jointly forms the Federal Supreme Council which is the highest legislative and executive body in the country. The country’s capital is Abu Dhabi. Dubai is the most populous city, and the second largest emirate by territorial size.

Day 04: City Tour - Dubai Mall

The Emirate of Dubai is a city of ages that rises out of the desert and crowns the Gulf Coast with its presence. Dubai is the second largest of the seven United Arab Emirates but has the biggest population at over 2.1 million inhabitants. Size has been synonymous with Dubai as it continues to build the first, largest and the biggest constructions in the world. Dubai’s dynamics are always transient and ever-changing with its constant urge to construct something better and bigger than the previous. If there was a Palm Island, Nakheel thought of the World Island. Burj Al Arab seemed too timid when Burj Khalifa cropped up, distancing itself to being a loner in the crowd. Dubai constantly dwells in a suppressive competition with itself trying to magnetize tourists to a dreamy world of attractions and unheard of luxuries.
Our journey starts early morning to discover Dubai to start with the historical Al Bastakiya Quarter. A visit to the Bastakiya Quarter includes culturally significant sights, such as Dubai’s oldest building (1780s), the Al Fahidi Fort, the Dubai Museum, and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding. Continue to chart Dubai’s rise from fishing village to one of the world’s fastest-growing cities at Dubai Museum. Soak up beautiful city views on an “Abra Water Taxi” across Dubai Creek; and snap photos of Jumeirah Mosque, whose domes and minarets echo the medieval Fatimid style. Visit the Spice Market and Gold Souk. Be prepared to part with a little money as the tantalizing scents and shimmering jewellery will entice you into making a few purchases. Photo stops at Burj Al Arab, the sail-shaped hotel. (B/D)
