    Review of: Burj Khalifa
    Not necessary to go in, great free view from below
    The mall is massive so be prepared to walk a decent amount to get to where you can view it nicely but once there you have plenty of choices for a meal with a view or simply walking around outside and getting the perfect selfie spots for free.

    Review of: The Dubai Fountain
    Evenings are best.
    Fantastic free water fountain show in front of the Burj. On every half hour during the evening. Beautiful area.

    Review of: The Dubai Mall
    Immense
    Even though I rarely shop in malls, I need to say I had fun at the Dubai mall; it's a world withing the world, you can shop if you wish or you can simply grab something to eat and walk around, as we mostly did.
    You can find cheap brands such as h&m, but also super pricey ones,so there's something for everyone.
    The place is massive and it takes ages to get in and out, so if you plan a visit make sure to have at least 3 hours or it is even pointless visiting it.
    We visited several time five guys to grab a shake and watch the fountain show, it's definitely a must as well.

    Review of: Dubai Miracle Garden
    Nice place
    This is the second time that I visited the garden which is great to see all of this number of flowers with different colors and designs in one place.

    Review of: Global Village
    Always an amazing time here!
    Every year when this place opens, my family and I visit so many times that we lose count.
    The pavilions of the countries are always fun to visit, with so many items to buy and food to try. And the good thing is, you can haggle with the prices to some extent.
    We visit the rides every time we go there, and it is so much fun for all of us, the young and the young at heart. We can play for hours on end and would only stop to try one of the many food kiosks there. So many delicious choices to try out on every single visit.
    Highly recommend this place to visit when it is open from October to April/May.

    Review of: Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark
    Aquaventure
    Excellent service from all staff, especially Mudassir, who went out of his was to make sure our visit was a nice and comfortable one. He explained everything to us, reassured us about the different slides (my mum was especially a little nervous) and was sure to pop back and ask us throughout the day how we were getting on. He even went out of his way to show us where things were, as the maps were a little confusing. Definitely an asset to Aquaventure. A lovely person! Thanks for a wonderful time!

    Review of: La Mer
    Lovely beach and facilities
    During our stay in Dubai, we spent more than ten days at this beach, coming early in the morning and leaving at sunset.
    The beach is rather clean (can definitely be improved though), fairly long, but not insanely much so I easily swam from one side to the other (jet skis a bit annoying), there's free WiFi connection, plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, although we mostly stayed at Kevanders, Dunkin and Chickery.
    The water was crystal clear, cold at the beginning but once in very pleasant, and the beach wasn't overly crowded.
    Overall we had a great time and we will gladly be back once again soon.

    Review of: Burj Al Arab
    Nice architecture. Pretty expensive
    Nice architecture. A little underwhelmed after all the hype, but still a nice visit to the Mahara restaurant.

    Review of: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
    Nice but short
    The aquarium tube is very short, you might enjoy the view from outside better than inside. Zoo was nice with lovely creatures for kids. Unfortunately we didnt catchup with penguins show

    Great time at the aquarium
    Aquatrek is amazing, I highly recommend. Imantha and his team were very professional and friendly, they made the activity feel so easy. I'd happily do some of the other diving activities with them. 5 stars !

    Great fun!
    Great place for kids and was right next door to our hotel (Jumeirah Beach Hotel) which made it very convenient to visit multiple times a day!
