They say that you only live once, but that once is more than enough if you live it right. The same applies to Dubai, a top travel destination in the world. The world class experiences this city in the Middle East offers; you must try visiting Dubai at least once in your lifetime. If you are not convinced enough yet, here are some of the top reasons you should visit Dubai at least once in your lifetime:
Luxury All Around
Ok, truth be told, there is not luxury all around, but it is certainly more than you will find in any other city in the world. Think about a city that has a traffic cop chasing you in a Lamborghini if you flout a traffic rule.
Camels are parked excellently among cars in the parking lot. If you fancy gold, here is your opportunity for you to buy it from an ATM machine. In other places, people withdraw money from ATMs. Not in Dubai! You can withdraw gold. There is a gold souk (market), gold plated cars, electronics, furniture and some of the most luxury hotels and resorts in the world and many more.
Incredible, But Unusual Pets
When in the city of Dubai, do not be surprised to see a cheetah riding in the front seat of a Lexus. And doesn’t that tiger belong in Siberia? Well, it is Dubai and you can buy everything money can buy. In other cities, pet lovers roll around with Chihuahuas and furry felines draped over their arms. In Dubai, people go for the real big cats like lions and tigers!
The Party Life
When you have worked so hard and saved every penny for your Dubai vacation, you want to reward yourself with an incredible party. You can hire a luxury yacht and enjoy an unforgettable experience with your friends and family on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates.
A Night In The Desert
If you would like to taste an authentic Arabian Night experience, Dubai is the place to be. The Dubai overnight desert safaris are very popular the world over. You would not believe how many people go to Dubai just to experience a night in the desert.
A Dubai desert safari packs much more than just a night in a Bedouin-like tent. You can enjoy a real Arabic barbecue. You can also catch some belly dancing, and let the kids enjoy sandboarding. The whole experience, the huge sand dunes and the tents give you a glimpse of what life here used to be like decades ago before the black gold injected new life to Dubai.
Architectural Eye Candy
The kind of architecture that you will find in Dubai is hard to find anywhere else in the world. In about five decades, this city has raised the biggest, most captivating skyscrapers, forming one of the best skylines in the world.
