Sights in United Arab Emirates
Edit ThisThe pearl of the Persian Gulf, the United Arab Emirates, has a plethora of amazing attractions to enthrall the tourists. Some of the best United Arab Emirates Sights are featured as below:
The Burj Al-Arab
Standing 1,053 feet high, the Burj Al-Arab is the second tallest hotel and the third tallest building in the world. Located in Dubai, this hotel is built on an artificial island which is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Resembling the billowing sail of a boat, this hotel is an epitome of the modernization and urban transformation of Dubai. Al Muntaha, one of the most eminent restaurants in the Burj Al-Arab, is located about 700 feet above the Persian Gulf and offers an astounding panoramic view of Dubai. Dining in the Burj Al-Arab’s other restaurant called Al Mahara will be a unique experience for you. You will be taken on a mock submarine voyage of 3 minutes to reach the dining area where the patrons are seated around a huge sea-water aquarium holding about 990,000 liters of water.
Dubai Mall
Deemed to be the world’s largest shopping center, Dubai Mall is a wonder itself in terms of its grandeur and size. Home to around 1,200 top-brand stores including Montblanc, Marks and Spencer, Bloomingdales and Tiffany & Co., the mall offers a cutting-edge shopping experience to visitors. Along with shopping extravaganza, the mall boasts of a world-class ice-skating rink and an unprecedented underwater aquarium and zoo that will leave you completely spellbound. The aquarium and underwater zoo have won Guiness Book of World Records as the largest acrylic viewing panel of the world. Dubai Ice Skating Rink, located inside the mall, hosts skating programs and learning sessions, themed nights and hockey matches. Aside from these 2, the mall has a posh 250-room luxury hotel, a 22-screen multiplex and about 130 restaurants and cafes. Undoubtedly, visiting the place will give you the wholesome experience of your life time.
Heritage Village
Heritage Village in Abu Dhabi is one of the most visited sites of UAE. Here, you will have a glimpse of the ancient Bedouin way of living before the modern agricultural and irrigation systems were innovated. Through a mock journey around the makeshift courtyard houses, tents, workshops and museums located inside the village, you will gather an impressive idea about the Bedouins and their heritage.
Wild Wadi, Dubai
One of the most imposing attractions in Dubai, UAE, is a state-of-the-art water theme park called Wild Wadi. There are plenty of traditional slides in the park like the Falcon Fury, Rushing Rapids, Tunnel of Doom, Tumble Falls and Thunder Rapids. There is another exciting ride for the entire family called the Family Ride which consists of 2 rides--Summit Surge and Rushdown Ravine. Another popular attraction called Breakers Bay is famed for generating the largest waves in any pool of the Middle East. You can have fun resisting the undulating 5-feet waves while you swim across the pool. Besides, Jumeiran Sceirah, Flow Rider, Ripetide and Wipeout are some of the rides favorite among surfers.
