The Horizon Club is the best instagrammable place in Dubai for views of the Burj Khalifa.
Fun things to do in Dubai
There are a lot of fun things to do in Dubai and it can be hard to decide where to even start! These are our top choices
- Dune Bashing – This is hands-down, our favourite thing to do in Dubai. We went on a private tour, were picked up at 8 am and spent the morning crashing through the desert.
- Yellow Boat Tour – We were short on time in Dubai, so took the Yellow Boat Tour around the Marina area. Stops included the Burj Al Arab, The Atlantis Hotel and The Palm. This is also a great way to see Dubai with children.
- Shopping – Dubai is full of amazing shopping malls to explore. Even if you are travelling on a budget, the malls are still a fun way to spend a day – some of the architecture is simply breathtaking.
- Dubai Miracle Garden – If you love seeing flowers in different shapes and patterns, the miracle garden is for you. We enjoyed spending an afternoon wandering around these gardens
- The Arts – Check out Dubai’s Artsy side at some incredible galleries and creative cafes.

These are the most luxurious hotels in the world. I have been to Dubai in February this year and we stayed in Novotel Suites Mall of the Emirates - it is a 3-star hotel but services are pretty good and the views are also amazing from there.
