Must Visit Attractions in Dubai

Dubai offers everything from record breaking skyscrapers to golden deserts and family friendly theme parks. Here are the key highlights you should include in your Dubai tour itinerary.

1. Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai

No trip to Dubai is complete without visiting Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building at 828 metres.

What to do:

• Take the high speed elevator to the observation decks on Level 124 or 148
• Enjoy panoramic views of the city, desert and coastline
• Stroll through Dubai Mall and watch the evening Dubai Fountain show

Travel tip:

Book your Burj Khalifa tickets in advance to secure the best time slots, especially around sunset. Malik Express can add Burj Khalifa tickets directly to your Dubai tour package.

2. Desert Safari and Dune Bashing

A desert safari is one of Dubai’s most thrilling adventures. Experience:

• 4x4 dune bashing across golden sand dunes
• Camel rides and sand boarding
• Traditional Arabic dinner under the stars
• Live entertainment such as Tanoura and cultural performances

Travel tip:

Choose an evening desert safari for cooler temperatures and better photography. Ask Malik Express to book a reputable desert safari operator with safety certified drivers.

3. Museum of the Future

Opened in 2022, the Museum of the Future has quickly become one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, famous for its torus shaped design covered in Arabic calligraphy and immersive exhibits focused on technology, sustainability and innovation.

Inside, you will find interactive experiences about space travel, climate solutions, artificial intelligence and the future of health and cities.

Travel tip:

Tickets often sell out in advance, especially during holidays. Malik Express can secure timed entry tickets as part of your Dubai itinerary.

6. Old Dubai, Souks and Culture

Balance the modern attractions with a visit to Old Dubai:

Malik Express can bundle park tickets with hotel and transport to create cost effective family holiday packages.

Best Time to Visit Dubai
