Dubai is reasonably called the city of the future. It is considered to be the world’s fastest growing city with the most ambitious projects ever realized. If you are planning a trip to Dubai, make sure to include these places and activities. 

Places to visit in Dubai:

1. Marina walk is a 7 km long pedestrian walkway. It is the best place for walking recognized by families and tourist, running and cycling recognized by sports fans. Day pictures are as beautiful as night ones, so keep in mind to go there at least twice.
2. Jeep Safari is a must for those who enjoy extreme activities and eager for adrenaline. There are day and night safari to choose from and the program includes a night performance, a national dinner and other activities (camel riding, henna tattoo etc.)
3. Waterparks are one of the best in the UAE. There are 2 top waterparks in Dubai called Wild Wadi Water Park and Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark. Each of them has its benefits but both have almost the same waterslides, so it is up to you to make a choice.
4. Burj Khalifa, the highest building in the world, is located in downtown Dubai.
   Take a tour on the top of Burj Khalifa to enjoy the city skyline. Make sure to check the weather before booking the tour. Avoid going there after a sand storm since the view won’t be clear and impressive enough.
5. The Dubai Fountain is one of the largest fountains in the world. Usually, you may see a show every hour during the day but the most spectacular ones are in the evening. Every show differs from each other and it’s possible to enjoy them from different places: in front of Burj Khalifa Lake, from Burj Khalifa top level, from restaurants of the Dubai Mall etc.
6. Dubai Mall is a boundless shopping center where you can spend almost the whole day. It can truly be called a multi-purpose venue including more than 1000 shops, Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, Dubai Ice Rink, and SEGA Republic theme park.
7. Jumeirah Beach is fairly considered to be the best public beach including a splendid park, restaurants, cafe, place for working out, children’s playing area. Since this place is beloved by tourists and locals, be ready that it may be crowded there, especially on the weekends.
8. Dubai Miracle Garden presents a wide variety of different flowers that are arranged in different shapes. This natural flower garden features over 45 flower species from all over the world surprising every visitor with its beauty, magnificently shaped archways, and structures.
9. Palm Islands are two artificial islands in the shape of a palm. Palm Jumeirah is more popular among tourists. A very beautiful hotel and Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark is located on its territory.
10. Burj Al Arab is one of the oldest in Dubai and world’s most luxurious hotel with the great skyline, expensive aquarium restaurant and Wild Wadi waterpark close to it.
11. Bur Dubai and Dubai Creek belong to the old part of Dubai. If you love history or would like to learn more about Dubai history, you should also visit the Dubai Museum, which is also located there.
12. Business Bay is a central business district of the city. You should visit it if you are a fan of skyscrapers view. Maybe it’s better to go there at night time to take some good shots.
13. Many mosques are beautiful in Dubai but Jumeirah Mosque is Dubai’s most beautiful mosque and one of those open to to non-Muslims. By the way, if you a fan of architecture, you should definitely go to Abu Dhabi and explore Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. There is a local bus going between two cities, the distance is not long, the tickets are not expensive, but it is really worth visiting.
14. Global Village is a theme park with a different type of entertainment, festivals, restaurants and shopping malls.
15. The World is an artificial archipelago, which consists of many small islands constructed in the shape of a world map. To see the whole picture of it, you need to take a helicopter tour. If you plan to do so, make sure to check Dubai from a birds eye view.

I am sure this is not the entire list of places you should see in Dubai. Even more sights are under construction in Dubai and will be open in one year or so. However, remember to check prices and plan budget thoroughly since Dubai is one of the most expensive cities to travel, very safe though.
