When it comes to making Dubai sightseeing tours memorable and thrilling, you should include all those sightseeing attractions that make Dubai popular for offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences. To help you make your itinerary more exciting, here, we are sharing some of the best sightseeing attractions that you must include in your package.
Take in the Cityscape View at Burj Khalifa
When you are in Dubai for sightseeing, your tour remains incomplete unless you book a reservation for the tallest building in the world to try some of the world’s best cuisines and enjoy the jaw-dropping view from the observation deck present on the 124th floor. The panoramic views across the city skyline from this place are highly staggering, where you can see the desert on one side and the ocean on the other side across the skyscrapers. Night-time visits are particularly popular because of the magical experience immersed in city lights.
Wander into Dubai’s Past at Dubai Museum
Built with the traditional coral blocks and lime, the upper floor of the museum is supported by wooden piles, while the ceiling is designed from palm fronds, mud, and plaster. The museum is located in the Al-Fahidi Fort that has historically served as a royal residence, a seat of the government, garrison, and even prison.
The entrance of Dubai museum exhibits the fascinating old maps of the Emirate, and the courtyard houses several traditional boats, and a palm-leaf house along with an Emirati wind tower. While the right-hand hall exhibits the weaponry, the hall on the other hand showcases Emirati musical instruments. Below the ground floor, you will find display halls that reveal various aspects of traditional Emirati life and three to four thousand years-old artifacts.
Delve into the Life of Traditional Sailors at Dubai Creek
Dubai Creek divides the city into two parts where Deira lies in the north and Bur Dubai lies in the south. The creek has played a vital role in the city’s growth as it used to attract settlers here to fish and pearl dive. Small villages were formed alongside the creek around four thousand years ago, whereas the modern era was born around the 1830s when the Bani Yas tribe settled there.
Still used by some small traders from across the Gulf, some of the dhows are over 100 years old. Though now Dubai creek has become the tiny remnant of Dubai’s traditional economy, it is still a bustling and fascinating place to wander around and get amazed with excellent water views.
