LIVE LIFE KING SIZE WHILE HOLIDAYING IN DUBAI

The moment you land at the Dubai International Airport, you'll experience life king size. Situated in the desert of United Arab Emirates this hot and sizzling city offers you some of the coolest fun things.

Dubai received more than 5.5 million tourists in the first half of this year, an 11.1 per cent increase compared to last year, according to the latest figures from Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM). Here we highlight the most extravagant attractions that are enticing tourists.


Burj Khalifa :- The world’s tallest building is a sight to behold, standing 828 meters from the ground with over 160 floors offering spectacular views over Dubai from the top. It has some of the elite corporate suites, The Residents, The Armani hotel, fine dining restaurant called The Atmosphere and The Park which has space for 3000 vehicles.
Indoor ski park :- Middle East's first indoor ski resort in Dubai is an amazing 22,500 square metres covered with real snow all year round where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing or just playing with the newest residents, the snow Penguins!
The world’s tallest hotel :- The luxurious JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Crowned with 1,608-rooms is more than 100ft higher than the Eiffel Tower. It is so tall that on a foggy morning guests on its upper floors wake up above the clouds, with the tops of nearby skyscrapers poking through like precious jewels laid out on cotton wool.
The Dubai Mall :- The world’s most visited and largest shopping and entertainment complex had more visitors last year than New York City. Apart from its 1,200-plus retail stores, other major attractions include its Aquarium, an underwater zoo and an ice skating rink.

Here's, a look at few of the stunning future Dubai projects.
The Hydropolis - Underwater hotel, Dubai’s Water Discus Hotel will allow guests to sleep below the surface of the sea, offering a view of underwater life and facilities will include a bar and a dive centre. The city also revealed plans for an even bigger retail complex than the Dubai Mall, The Mall of the World, that would be capable of welcoming up to 80 million visitors a year. It will feature the world's largest shopping mall as well as a large park, a Universal Studios entertainment centre, a number of art galleries, and up to 100 hotels. The Taj Arabia – a £665 million reproduction of the Taj Mahal hat will not only be four times bigger than the 17th century original but contain a shopping centre, a 300-room five-star hotel, serviced apartments and bridal wear stores.

TRAVEL AND EXPERIENCE THE WORLD

Have you ever wondered what motivates you to travel? Could it be because you want to experience a whole new environment, visit some distant relatives, for educational purposes or just for fun?

The earth is often perceived as a foolproof Google map - not very large, easily accessible and knowable by any finger-drumming geek with a computer. In some respects this is true. Distance is no longer a problem. You can nip over to Hong Kong or spend a weekend in Dubai, or Rio. But as some countries open up, others shut down. And some countries have yet to earn their place on the traveler’s map, such as Turkmenistan and Sudan, I find hospitality, marvels and a sense of discovery motivates most travellers.

It’s invigorating – If you are open to it, travel will simply make you a more well-rounded human being. Which is really the goal, isn’t it? It will create lasting relationships – People you meet while on the road usually become some of the most valued ones in your address book, giving you points on the map to visit later on. These folks give you a glimpse outside your hometown circle of friends, forcing you into new and refreshing perspectives on things. It will develop skills you didn’t know you had – The satisfaction you get when reaching the top of the mountain, or crossing a gorge or simply getting what you wanted at a restaurant in rural China, these things all allow access to skill sets you didn’t know you had. You could learn a language, feel a sense of adventure and perspective, travel for education, for challenge, to make your dreams come true, to tell travel stories or just for the hell of it!
