Dubai

By Adelia Cobuscian

From my experiences, I think that Dubai is one of the most beautiful cities out there in the world. There is so much to visit and the architecture is beyond wonderful. The atmosphere is very nice especially during the night. I haven’t had much time to visit everything but here are some of the places I’ve been:

The Atlantis hotel. It’s a hotel and also a tourist attraction where you can go visit the biggest aquapark in the whole UAE and also a restaurant with a view with an aquarium full of thousands of species of fish and other sea creatures.

The Burj Khalifa. Now considered the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa is beautiful both during the night and day. You can go to the 124th floor with the elevator. It also has a panoramic view of the city and some nice restaurants up there. There are also some very very pretty fountains at the bottom of the building and they have a show every 30 min and it’s simply fantastic.

Burj Al Arab is the only 7 star rated hotel in the whole world. It’s situated on an artificially built island and it has one of the best views ever. It’s very expensive to stay there since it’s the most expensive in the world but there is another hotel with the view of the Burj Al Arab.

Global Village Dubai is claimed to be the world's most significant tourism and entertainment project in the UAE. It is the region's first cultural, entertainment, family and shopping destination. Every year, the place receives over 5 million visitors over an area of 17,200,000 sq ft. The compound has various pavilions.

Last but not least, I want to mention a very pretty tourist attraction. It’s a building made in the shape of a frame and it has an elevator you can go to and it takes you very high so you can have a very nice view of the city. I personally haven’t been there but I’ve seen it and it was simply majestic.
