The United Arab Emirates is the most popular destination in the Arab World and is one of the top travel destinations in the whole world. More than 15 million tourists traveled to Dubai alone in 2017, and about 20 million are expected to visit in 2020 and it’s easy to guess why. The country has so many things to do, it’s considered one of the safest countries in the world, and there is always something interesting happening there.
This Eid el Adha will span a whole week with the weekend before and after, thus, it makes perfect sense that some will be spending it abroad. If you decide to spend the week in the United Arab Emirates, here is the checklist of the things you should do.
Ferrari World
Although I’m not the biggest car enthusiast you’ll meet, but I genuinely think Ferrari World is one of the most unique experiences in the Arab World. People who are passionate about cars will definitely love their experience in the motorsport-themed entertainment complex in Abu Dhabi. The Ferrari-themed park is home to Formula Rossa, the fastest roller coaster in the world.
Burj Khalifa
In our article about Jordan, we told you how to reach the lowest point in the world, about 400 meters under sea level. On the other hand, in Dubai, you can reach the highest point in the world, the top of the Burj Khalifa. The tower is a 160-story skyscraper and observation deck in Dubai. It’s 828 meters high and is home to some of the most luxurious restaurants in Dubai.
Attend The 1975 Concert
If you’re spending Eid in the UAE, then you shouldn’t miss “The 1975” as they take over the Coca Cola Arena on the 14th of August. The British Indie Pop Band will have their very first performance in Dubai, and you shouldn’t miss it!
Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
Dubai Aquarium is one of the largest and most stunning aquariums in the world. It is home to more than 33,000 aquatic animals and has the largest collection of sand tiger sharks in the world. The 48-meters tunnel has a fish-eye view that will feed your curiosity about what the deep waters look like.
Spend a Night at WHITE Dubai
Dubai is known for being home to the best nightlife in the Middle East. It has several venues that host international superstars on a weekly basis. There are tons of options, but WHITE is definitely one of the top picks of the Emirate!
Attend a Pool Party at Cove Beach
Cove Beach is one of the most successful venues in Dubai located at Caesars Palace Bluewaters. It is the first local brand to travel to Las Vegas, as it’s taking over this summer’s weekends at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. This is the pool party experience like nothing you’ve experienced before!
Do Some Water Sports At Jumeriah Beach
Jumeirah Beach is a beach resort anyone can access to enjoy the day. There is so much to do at the iconic beach, from a selection of dining options to a variety of adrenaline-fueled water sports.
