Five Instagram-worthy spots in Dubai

Having worked in several countries, freelance photographer Kavan Choksi considers the UAE one of the most beautiful places to take pictures. Here, he lists some of the most Instagrammable places in Dubai, one of the wealthiest of the seven Emirates.

Address Sky View

Located in Downtown Dubai, Address Sky View has an infinity pool that tourists should visit. The pool is aesthetically pleasing. But what makes it Instagram-worthy is that it provides a clear vantage point of the majestic Burj Khalifa. Another Instagrammable option in Address Sky View is the Ce La Vi restaurant. The elegant dining place also offers a grand view of the tallest building in the world.

Dubai Miracle Garden

The Dubai Miracle Garden is one of the most beautiful places in the city. It offers numerous photo ops spots, says Kavan Choksi. The UAE natural flower garden is the largest of its kind in the world. However, be sure to schedule your visit to the place as it is open to visitors only from mid-November to mid-May.

Dubai Creek Harbour

Those looking to capture the Dubai skyline must visit Dubai Creek Harbour. It is ideal to visit the place during sunset to shoot the horizon during the golden hour. Stay until early evening to see the cityscape with lights on.

Wings of Mexico Statue

One of Dubai's most-visited spots for those looking to post Instagram-worthy pictures is the Wings of Mexico statue. The statue, designed to represent people's dream to fly, is on permanent display in several cities across the world. Its Dubai installation has the Burj Khalifa standing high in the background.

Desert Safari

No tour in the middle east is complete without visiting the desert, notes Kavan Choksi. In the UAE city, there are plenty of activities to do in the desert, such as dune bashing and camel riding. A visit to the desert also provides many photo ops for those who want to showcase the place on social media.
