Although the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the tourism industry throughout the world, thanks to mass vaccination campaigns, the world is slowly opening, allowing people to travel to their favorite tourist destinations.

Dubai boasts beautiful sandy beaches, sky-high buildings, beautiful mosques, shopping malls, cruise tours, boat trips, delectable food, desert safari, and many other things you can add to the bucket list. Here are the top ten bucket list items you must do in Dubai.

The Dubai Mall is the best bucket list item, allowing people to enjoy a memorable shopping experience. The mall has dedicated shops and stores, ranging from Fashion avenues, world-famous brands, and local companies to traditional souks, accessories, shoes, and designer clothes.

Burj Khalifa is the most iconic landmark in Dubai. The tallest building in the world attracts thousands of people every day to relish the monumental structure with 828 meters of height and 160 floors. If you want to experience the panoramic views, make sure you get to the top floor. The scenery is spectacular, especially at night when the city is illuminated with lights.

Skydiving in Dubai is another item to add to your bucket list. It is an adventurous activity that rushes your adrenaline, leading to thrilling and quenching experiences. However, this activity is unsuitable for people afraid of heights because you will have to jump off a plane 13,000 feet high.

Old Dubai showcases the history, culture, and traditions of the Emirati people and Arab lifestyle. Visit the Al Fahidi Fort and explore the museum’s ancient arts and crafts. Dubai Heritage Village is another place to visit, allowing you to learn about the traditional architecture and browse artifacts displayed in the mini museums. Moreover, Old Dubai boasts gold, textile, spice souks, and a coffee museum.

Dubai has several picturesque beaches with turquoise-colored waters and sandy shoes, making them picture-perfect spots for tourists. You can spend an entire day with your family or friends and engage in watersports. We recommend visiting the beach in the early morning or evening to avoid the heat.

The Water Fountain in Dubai is the tallest structure within Burj Lake. It is near Dubai Mall, featuring colorful lights and dancing waters up to 500 feet. The incredibly choreographed fountain attracts thousands of people every day to relish the man-made structure, take photos, and create memories.

Jumeriah Mosque is a beautiful place to add to your bucket list items, especially if you are interested in the unique architecture and learning about Islamic history and Arab Culture. Take a guided tour to know how the mosque conducts prayers and learn about the interior and exterior décor.

Atlantis Water Park is an oasis within the city, boasting a paradise-like environment, thanks to the longest slides and thrilling water rides. The adventurous activities are suitable for people of all ages. The park has more than 20 slides and features spots to watch sea lions, dolphins, and other marine creatures.

Thousands of people visit Dubai to experience Dubai Desert Safari. You can explore the local culture, learn about the Bedouin lifestyle, and enjoy luxurious activities, including traditional belly dances, camping beneath the stars in the cool desert at night, and taking a four-wheel drive in the middle of the desert. The BBQs will satisfy your taste buds.

Dubai Miracle Garden is another place to add to your bucket list. It is one of the world’s largest natural flower gardens, with mesmerizing and heart-soothing fragrances all around. The garden houses more than 45 million flower species in traditional beds.

You will enjoy the magnificent displays and pleasant environment. Although Dubai Miracle Garden attracts people from all walks of life, it is an excellent spot for romantic couples, partners, and people looking for an enjoyable date.

Dubai is the epitome of tourism in the 21st century, driving people from all over the world. The city is home to skyscrapers, including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest freestanding structure, scenic beaches, world-class hotels/restaurants, desert safari, lakes, gardens, mosques, and museums. There is something for everyone in Dubai.
