No.1 Attraction in Dubai : Dubai Fountain
Some say the best things in life are free. And this certainly proved true here in Dubai at The Dubai Fountains – the world’s largest choreographed fountain system on the Burj Khalifa lake. These fountains are animated with performances set to sound and music.
We did not have much expectations initially from the fountains, since it was free however once we experienced the first two performances, it was so addictive that we ended up spending almost 3 hours at this place. And didn’t want to leave.
The sheer beauty of the fountains working their magic in sync with the music being played and lavish scale of the water dance against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa was just magical.
Tip : The Dubai Fountains run 6 pm onwards right up to 10 pm at an interval of every 30 mins. Each performance lasts for 5-7 minutes. Don’t miss post sunset performances the views are amazing. And try to view the performances from different places.
No.2 Attraction in Dubai : Dubai Desert Safari
You have not experienced Dubai completely until you go for the famed Desert Safari. It’s half a day of action packed experience and those who love thrills, this one’s really gonna be memorable.
You can undertake this trip from one of the many tour companies. These guys pick you up from your hotel and drive straight to Oman border where all the vehicles (Prado for us) assemble for dune bashing. Here the tires are deflated and the dune bashing experience begins. It’s pure thrills for the next 30 minutes. To watch the driver control the vehicle is a great experience. Every driver trying a new trick to impress his customers and the presence of team mates driving alongside add to his confidence. Post this you are taken to a camp where there is BBQ, unlimited soft drinks and water. There is a camp for henna, tattoos, camel rides, quad biking. And later even some belly dancing and magical show. Post this is the dinner. And then they drop you back. All in all, a great 6 hours.
