The Dubai Opera is also another place if you are a lover of live performing arts and it is located in downtown Dubai. You can also go to the Jumeirah Beach to relax and enjoy the water side or visit the Dubai Gold Souk if you are a lover of jewelries.

Things You Can Do In Dubai
As a country generating large income from tourism, Dubai has a lot of attraction centres that you should visit. But a lot of other places stand out which you must visit.
- The Dubai Fountain: Considered to be the world’s tallest performing fountain containing five circles of different sizes and two arcs, and rated 4.8 golden stars. It can shoot up water up to impressive heights equivalent to that of a 50 storey building, and has wonderful colour projections at night. It is set in the middle of a giant lake which is at the center of Dubai.
- Burj Al Arab Jumeirah: Highly rated with 4.7 stars is this magnificent and iconic structure. If you are going with a spouse, this is a place for you. With about 201 luxurious duplex suites, 9 world-class restaurants and bars, 3 outdoor swimming pools, 2 indoor swimming pools and a private beach, that’s why it regarded as the most iconic hotel in Dubai and ranked highly in the world.
- The Dubai Mall: Where else is the best place to go shopping if not in the the second largest mall in the world located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This mall also boasts of housing the Dubai Aquarium and underwater zoo, as well as the world’s tallest building. I wonder why its rated 4.7 stars.
- Burj Khalifa: It is currently the world’s tallest structure and has about 160 storeys! This magnificent building houses residential spaces, lounges, health and wellness facilities, four pools, office spaces, two observation decks, the Armani Hotel Dubai and the Armani residences. The architecture is second to none in the world and you will be thrilled! I wonder why it’s rated 4.6 stars instead of a 7 that it truly deserves. I will gladly give it a 10 though!
- Wild Wadi Waterpark: Enjoy the water rides, great slides and wonderful facilities in this beautiful water park located next to the Burj Al Arab. It is a must you visit this place when you are in Dubai. You will have so much fun you won’t want to leave! It is highly rated with 4.4 beautifully decorated stars.
