    Review of: Burj Khalifa
    Beautiful Burj Khalifa
    We bought tickets ahead of arriving. We were there on a Tuesday at 6:00 pm. At first it didn’t seem like a long line but eventually we did stand in a long line. It didn’t take a long time though as they have TV screens telling you about the history of the bldg which helped the time pass while you were waiting and learning.

    When you finally arrive to floor you will be in you stand in a line for photos or you decline the photo and make your way around the floor admiring the great views and eventually you end up in the gift shop with fun stuff to buy.

    We saw the fountain show at 6:30 pm but it’s not worth seeing it from here in the daylight it’s better at night I would presume.

    Overall, it’s an entertaining experience..

    Review of: The Dubai Fountain
    Always special
    Does not matter how many times I am coming to this magical place in Dubai

    But the truth is that it is always special to me and we always bring memories with us.

    The location is the best possible in Dubai

    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: Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark
    Family fun! Go on Posideons revenge!
    The waterpark was awesome - it's connected to the atlantis hotel therefore if you are a guest you get free tickets included in the stay. There are three towers, the top ride on each tower is the 'scariest' therefore the the most fun! The best ride was shockwave - such a good laugh, the scariest was leap of faith, but the one which caused the most anticipation was Posideons revenge. But absolutely do all of these rides and face your fears. There's rides for all the family - the rapids are quite long but you can jump out if you want to. Staff are friendly and helpful too. A buggy drives you around the park to avoid getting too hot and queue lines go in the shade. Food and drink options available for purchase, though we didn't get any. early you go, the less the queue so do the big rides then (all the ones at the top of the tower).

    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.

    Nice architecture. Pretty expensive
    Nice architecture. A little underwhelmed after all the hype, but still a nice visit to the Mahara restaurant.

    If I knew how cool it was? Both figuratively and literally? I would’ve gone sooner!!

    Can’t believe I’ve been in Dubai 6 years and it took me this long to visit 🤷🏻‍♀️

    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

    Review of: The Lost Chambers Aquarium
    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 !

    Review of: Wild Wadi Waterpark
    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!
