UAE in Photos: Why Choose the Emirates as Your Next Destination

The United Arab Emirates is one of the best tourist destination in the world. They have the tallest tower, one of the most wonderful mosques, and some of the best beaches in the Arab Country. But there is so much more than that in the UAE! Here are the list which includes our top picks of where you need to go and what you need to try both predictable as well as unexpected locations that you need to add to your list when visiting the United Arab Emirates.

Atlantis is the majestic resort in Dubai situated on the Palm, a man-made island that has captured the world’s imagination with its magnificent scale and ingenuity.

The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest tower and is an amazing feat of engineering- the story of which you can see if you take a trip to "At The Top"- the highest viewing platform in the world.

One of Dubai's newer tourist attractions is Dubai marina.

At the base of the world's tallest tower is one of the world's most amazing fountains!

Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East and offers an amazing snow setting to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing, or just playing in the snow. Young or old, there is something for everyone, from the beginner to the snow sport enthusiast.

Palm Jumeirah has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful holiday break. World famous hotel names, amazing tourist attractions, luxury fashion and shopping malls are starting to open up. Whether you just want to relax or immerse yourself in an exciting world of leisure and entertainment, this is a truly inspirational holiday destination in Dubai.

The Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) is the world's only 7 star hotel and designed to resemble a billowing sail, the Burj Al Arab soars to a height of 321 metres, dominating the Dubai skyline making it the fourth tallest hotel in the world.

The natural seawater inlet that cuts through the centre of the city is the historical part of Dubai where visitors can take an abra (small water taxi) and view the old trading port and the dhows from the water.

For the past 15 years, Global Village has been providing cultural entertainment along with an international shopping experience to millions of visitors.

Located in front of the Burj Al Arab, Wild Wadi offers 30 rides and attractions for all the family.

Part of the old Al Quoz industrial district centered on Alserkal Avenue is going through a regeneration to become Dubai's main arts hub and is already home to some of the city's most important contemporary art galleries.

The Bastakia Quarter (sometimes also called Al-Fahidi neighborhood) was built in the late 19th century to be the home of wealthy Persian merchants who dealt mainly in pearls and textiles, and were lured to Dubai because of the tax-free trading and access to Dubai Creek.

Deira lies on the northern bank of Dubai Creek, and the winding streets here unveil the melting pot of different nationalities that have come to call Dubai home.

One of the city's top tourist attractions, the Dubai Aquarium houses 140 species of sea life in the huge suspended tank on the ground floor of the Dubai Mall.

Dubai Creek separates the city into two towns with Deira to the north and Bur Dubai to the south.

Dubai Mall is the city's premier mall and provides entry to the Burj Khalifa as well as the Dubai Aquarium.

Dubai's excellent museum is housed in the Al-Fahidi Fort, built in 1787 to defend Dubai Creek

Dubai's architectural, cultural, and maritime heritage is showcased at the Heritage and Diving Village, with displays related to pearl diving and dhow building - two of old Dubai's historic economic mainstays.

This strip of sandy white bliss is the number one beach destination for Dubai visitors.

Jumeirah Mosque is considered by many to be the most beautiful of Dubai's mosques.

This long stretch of white-sand beach, south of Jumeirah beach, isn't just a top destination for sunbathers looking to lap up a lazy day of swimming and soaking up the rays on the sand.

Mall of the Emirates is one of the city's most famous malls with the spectacular (and surreal) Ski Dubai facility inside.

Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum was the Ruler of Dubai from 1921 to 1958 and grandfather to the current ruler.

They said, luck has nothing do with safety because safety comes with a price. When we say that a city is safe, sometimes it means that we are comfortable walking in the streets by night or leaving our belongings unattended or a place free from terroristic activities. So what makes a city safe? We all know that Dubai Police owns the world's fastest fleet of cars, but this is not just this. According to the study of Community Development Authority (CDA), 98 percent of people living in Dubai feel safe.

Images of Saudi Arabia's Pride, Tallest Building in the World, Jeddah KINGDOM TOWER Soon!

Dumaan kami ng Obhur, Jeddah isang araw at nakita namin ang sign na ito ng itinatayong Kingdom Tower. Sinasabing ang taas nito ay aabot sa 1000 meters, mahigit 173 meters ang taas kaysa sa Burj Khalifa ng Dubai. Hindi pa masyadong klaro ang eksaktong taas ng Kingdom Tower na itatayo sa Jeddah, Saudi Arabia pero ang orihinal na gusto ni Prince Talal, ang pamangkin ni King Abdullah at pinakamayamang tao sa buong Middle East, dapat ang taas nito ay 1600meters doble sa taas ng Burj Khalifa ngunit mukhang inayawan o hindi feasible ayun sa mga construction builder.

Sa ibaba ay makikita niyo ang mga larawan o images ng building na itatayo. Samantala ito ang mga detalye.
