I only had three days in Dubai but I squeezed in as much as I could. Here are a few ideas if you’re planning your own itinerary to the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai is known for its excess, and the city’s largest malls flaunt this reputation — there’s an aquarium and ice skating rink, plus EVERY chain restaurant you can think of.
Do You Recognize These Brands in Arabic?
Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Subway… would you recognize these popular brands in Arabic? I photographed a bunch of logos from malls in Dubai and put together a little quiz.
Burj Khalifa: The World’s Tallest Building
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world… and each evening, there’s a Vegas-inspired light and water display that’s a lot of fun to photograph.
Water Park Fun at Atlantis Resort, Dubai
I feel like a little kid while exploring Atlantis Resort, Dubai — there is fun in every direction! I float on the lazy river and even plunge down a water slide through a pool of sharks.
Dubai is a vast city with lots to see and do, so I opt for a day-long Big Bus Tour to glimpse all the neighborhoods and areas I don’t have time to properly visit.
Dubai Wrap-up and NYC Homecoming
I have a few more images to share from Dubai, and then it’s time to come home! My 2013 RTW trip has officially come to an end. New York, here I come!
It cost me a whopping $650 to visit Dubai for three days. Sure, I got to see and do a lot of cool things here, but was the price tag worth it?
