TOP 5 ATTRACTIONS OF DUBAI

IT HAS BEEN 6 YEARS SINCE I VISITED THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY NAMED DUBAI, CONTRARY TO ITS IMAGE, THIS DESERT BEAUTY IS NOT JUST ALL  MALLS AND EXTRAVAGANT HOTELS BUT IS FULL OF CULTURAL HERITAGES, INSTITUTIONS, GALLERIES WHICH GIVE A ADRENALINE RUSH TO THE MODERN GENERATION OF VISITORS OF THIS COUNTRY. THUS, I DECIDED THAT MY FIRST BLOG POST WOULD BE ABOUT THIS DESERT CITY WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH THAT I WENT THROUGH WHILE SLIDING BETWEEN THE HIGH FLOORS OF A  GLASS SKYSCRAPER, OR TOSSING FROM ONE END OF THE JEEP TO ANOTHER DURING THOSE EXCITING DESERT SAFARIS. MAKE SURE TO TICK OFF THESE TOP 5 THINGS, IF YOU VISIT DUBAI.

      1.BURJ KHALIFA-

BURJ KHALIFA IS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD, AND A MUST VISIT ATTRACTION OF DUBAI. STANDING 828M HIGH, IT IS SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY AND IS A BUSY TOURIST HUB. THE BUILDING HAS RECEIVED VARIOUS AWARDS AND ACCOLADES FOR ITS MAGNIFICIENT UPSCALE BEAUTY. IT 163 LEVELS, WHEREIN YOU CAN CAPTURE PANAROMIC STILLS OF THE CITY FROM THE OBSERVATIONAL DECK AT LEVEL 124, OR GRAB A BITE AT "AT THE TOP SKY LOUNGE" AND END YOUR DAY WITH A SUNSEST SESSION AT THE HIGHEST LOUNGE IN THE WORLD "THE LOUNGE, BURJ KHALIFA". DON'T FORGET TO RING IN YOUR NEW YEAR DOWN THIS SHEER BEAUTY, IT WILL BE A EXPERIENCE YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO FORGET.

      2.DUBAI FRAME-

DUBAI FRAME IS A MARVELOUS ARCHITECTURE PIECE OF DUBAI. CONSISTING OF TWO VERTICAL TOWERS OF 150M HEIGHT CONNECTED BY A 100 SQUARE METER BRIDGE, THE DUBAI FRAME IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DUBAI SKYLINE. A TOUR OF THE DUBAI FRAME IS A MUST. A VISIT TO THIS GIGANTIC BEAUTY WILL BE A PLEASURE TO YOUR EYES. I WAS NOT ABLE TO VISIT THIS BEAUTY IN 2015 AS IT WAS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN 2018, BUT YOU SURELY SHOULD PAY A VISIT TO IT! IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS GOLDEN FRAME DUBAI AND "THE BIGGEST PICTURE FRAME ON THE PLANET"

      3. DUBAI MIRACLE GARDEN-

DUBAI MIRACLE GARDEN IS WORLDS LARGEST NATURAL FLOWER GARDEN. I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS A FLORAL WONDERWORLD FILLED WITH SPECTACULAR FLORAL DISPLAYS, PYRAMIDS, HOUSES AND HEART SCULPTURES CREATED FROM 45 MILLION BLOOMS. THE GARDEN WAS LAUNCHED ON VALENTINE'S DAY IN 2013. I STILL REMEBER HOW MESMERIZED I WAS AS A TEENAGER BY THE BEAUTY OF THIS GARDEN AND ITS ENTITY AS A WHOLE. EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT THIS FLORAL WONDER ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME, AS ITS VERY RARE TO FIND SUCH A PLACE ON THIS PLANET.

      3. GLOBAL VILLAGE-

THE SOLE REASON WHY I WOULD WANT TO VISIT DUBAI EVERY YEAR WOULD BE GLOBAL VILLAGE. GLOBAL VILLAGE IS A THEMED PARK FEATURING 78 CULTURES IN 26 PAVILION WITH 3,500 DISPLAYS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, WHERE VISITORS CAN SHOP TRADITIONAL ARTIFACTS, HANDICRAFTS AND SNACKS PERTAINING TO THAT RESPECTIVE CULTURE AND COUNTRY. THE PAVILIONS DESIGNED HERE WERE A REPLICA OF THE ICONIC STRUCTURES, FROM LONDON'S BIG BEN TO THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA IN ITALY, YOU CAN ALSO CLICK SELFIES BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP OF OUR VERY OWN TAJ MAHAL OR TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO ANCIENT EGYPT. OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE SHOWCASE WERE RUSSIA, YEMEN, SOUTH KOREA, THAILAND, PAKISTAN AND MANY MORE.

      4. JUMEIRAH MOSQUE-

JUMEIRAH MOSQUE IS THE ONLY MOSQUE IN DUBAI THAT'S OPEN TO NON-MUSLIM VISITORS, THIS MOSQUE IS POPULAR WITH A RANGE OF TRAVELERS. THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND HOLISTIC ATTRACTION OF DUBAI AS IT'S CRAFTED ENTIRELY FROM WHITE STONE IN THE MEDIEVAL FATIMID STYLE AND PARTICULARY BREATHTAKING DUSK. THE PEACE THAT YOU WILL FEEL ONCE YOU STEP IN THIS MOSQUE WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED. A VISIT TO THE JUMEIRAH MOSQUE IS A MUST, YOU WILL ALSO GET A CHANCE TO TASTE THE ARABIC COFFEE AND TEA OF THE MOSQUE.

      5. DUBAI FOUNTAIN-

IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE A WATER,MUSIC AND LIGHT SPECTATCLE WHICH WOULD CAPTIVATE YOUR SENSES, THEN DUBAI FOUNTAIN IS THE PLACE YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR. THE DUBAI FOUNTAIN IS THE WORLD'S TALLEST PERFORMING FOUNTAIN SITUATED ON THE 30 ACRE BURJ LAKE IN DOWNTOWN DUBAI. THIS 900 FT FOUNTAIN HAS A UNIQUE DESIGN COMPRISING FIVE CIRCLES OF VARYING SIZES, POWERFUL WATER NOZZELS THAT SHOOT UP WATER TO IMPRESSIVE HEIGHTS, OVER 6,600 WET SUPERLIGHTS AND 25 COLOR PROJECTORS WHICH CREATE A VISUAL SPECTRUM OF OVER 1,000 DIFFERENT WATER EXPRESSIONS.
