A Must Visit Tourist Attractions in Dubai (2018)

In less than a generati­on of time, Dubai has transformed from little Bedouin fishing villages to most vibrant and extravagant metropolis. Its OTT architecture, bustling waterfronts, and sci-fi cityscape will have you reaching for your camera at almost every turn. With so many photo-worthy sights, this guide zooms in on the prime viewpoints so you don’t waste precious time scouting down photo ops and can fill your Dubai album with a bucket-list load of brilliant shots.

1. Burj Khalifa - The World’s Tallest

The most celebrated view in Dubai is from the 2,716.5-foot (828-metre) Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower. Head to its At The Top observation deck on Floors 124 and 125 by high-speed elevator, and soak in the 360-degree panoramas over the city and desert through the huge windows — the views are sensational with a capital S.

Tips

• Book in advance: daily admissions are limited and lines for tickets on the day can be long.
• Bring a small bag only so you can sail through the security checks at the entrance. Larger bags will need to be checked in at the luggage room.
• Floor 124 boasts an open-air terrace for experiencing the full force of the views.
• For maximum bragging rights, pay extra to visit the At The Top SKYdeck, located on Floor 148, although there's not much perceptible difference in the views.

2. The Yellow Boats

Dubai’s skyscrapers stretch from Jumeirah to Dubai Marina, making a boat trip along this slice of coast the best way to view the skyline in full, widescreen mode. Top of many visitors’ wish lists is a cruise to see Dubai’s two mega-hotels, Atlantis, The Palm and sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, close up, from the water.

Tips

• Combine views of Dubai’s skyline with a trip on a Yellow Boats rigid inflatable boat (RIB) from the marina. The RIBs are small and zippy enough to get close to the sights.
• Choose a late-afternoon trip if you can. That way, you get to catch the sunset and the marina towers bathed in lights on the way back.
• For the ultimate experience, charter a private boat for just you and family or friends.
• Load on the sun cream if you’re on a daytime trip.

The Yellow Boats Tickets Price Starts from AED ~118 per Adult & AED 87 per child to AED 221 per adult & AED 116 per Child.

3. Dubai Fountains

Set on the Burj Lake beneath the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain is the world’s biggest choreographed fountain system and free to view. The fountains spring to life at fixed times daily, shooting jets of water up to 492 feet (150 metres) into the sky in a rainbow of colours and dancing in time to classical and pop tunes. Don’t forget your camera!

Tips

• Good viewpoints include Dubai Mall’s Waterfront Promenade or the quieter Souk Al Bahar walkway.
• Book an evening table at a lake-view restaurant or lounge and watch several shows in a row.
• Shows are at 1pm and 1:30pm Saturday-Thursday and 1:30pm and 2pm on Fridays. They then run every half-hour from 6pm to 11pm, every day.
• Have your camera poised: each show lasts for a spectacular-yet-short five minutes.
