Burj Khalifa - The Burj Khalifa is one of the United Arab Emirates most famous buildings and the soaring sky-high landmark of Dubai and it is the world's tallest building, the tallest freestanding structure in the world, highest observation deck in the world, and elevator with the longest travel distance in the world.
  2. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – Located in Abi Dhabi, it is a mammoth modern mosque of incredible beauty, harnessing contemporary design and ancient craftsmanship, the mosque harmoniously blends modern and ancient styles and techniques to create a new interpretation of Islamic architecture.
  3. Palm Jumeirah – Palm Jumeirah is an artificial archipelago – a microcosm in itself and was created by land reclamation, with a plethora of resorts, like Atlantis and Fairmont Palm.
  4. Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation – The museum focuses on the breadth of Islamic history and culture - not just local history - it holds well-laid out exhibits, which trace Islam's course from the very early years of the Islamic empires.
  5. Al Bidyah Mosque – The oldest mosque in the UAE, it is one of the country's most important historical sites, modest in proportions, this adobe building is beautifully designed.
  6. Al Ain Zoo –It is a fantastic place for kids to observe fauna. It was opened in 1969 and features over 4,000 wild animals and birds. The zoo is known for its safari, bird show, and dinosaur trail.

Things You Must Do in UAE

  1. Riding on the Dubai Creek – Dubai Creek slices through the city, and the best way to experience Dubai is from one of the beautiful dhows (traditional Arabic boats) that ply the creek as one enjoys the sunset cruises.
  2. Shopping at the Souks – In Dubai, the Deira district is the main destination, with its world-famous gold souk and rather more down-to-earth fish souk, but all of the Emirati cities have their own souk districts to explore.
  3. Dubai Mall Tour – Enjoy the fruits of a famous shopping area at the large retail and entertainment centre which contains more than 1,200 shops, with brands, chains, and boutiques from all around the world.
  4. Desert Tour – The tour of the desert consists of some serious dune bashing and sandboarding apart from camel riding and watching a folk dance over a barbeque dinner.
  5. Dubai Kids Tour – Dubai has many attractions for kids including Aquaventure Waterpark, Wild Wadi Waterpark and the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.
