My partner and I visited Dubai last week and what an amazing trip we had. The place is packed with lots of fabulous places to see and things till do. The people are extremely friendly, it’s a very clean environment and may I add I felt very safe here. But the highlight of our trip was non other than visiting The ‘Burj Al Arab’ for afternoon tea in the ‘Sky View Bar and it did not disappoint! This was a breathing taking experience from the exquisite food to the spectacular views. I booked the afternoon tea for my 30th birthday treat online and corresponded via email with ‘Kamal’ who replied to any questions and queries I had regarding my booking. He was extremely professional and prompt with all emails that I’d sent. He even managed to meet and greet us on the day of our afternoon tea and give us a tour of beautiful hotel and showed us around, to which was outstanding and we throughly enjoyed. Our afternoon tea was delightful, we over indulged in lots of fabulous cakes,sandwiches,scones,teas etc and I even managed to receive a birthday cake and a beautiful red rose from our very attentive waiter Robbie, such a lovely guesture. The interior and exterior is out of this world and it is absolutely pristine!! I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai and we hope to return in the future. Thank you Burj Al Arab & Kamal, you made our experience one we won’t forget for a very long time. Back in rainy Ireland and missing Dubai already! Many Thanks Louise

6. Burj Khalifa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 75,201 reviews
Described as both a ‘Vertical City’ and ‘A Living Wonder,’ Burj Khalifa, developed by Dubai-based Emaar Properties PJSC, is the world’s tallest building. Rising gracefully from the desert, Burj Khalifa honours the city with its extraordinary union of art, engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. At 828 metres (2,716.5 ft), the 200 plus storey Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels, the most of any building in the world. The tower was inaugurated on January 4, 2010, and is responsible for a number of world-firsts. The tower became the world’s tallest man-made structure just 1,325 days after excavation work started in January 2004. Burj Khalifa utilised a record-breaking 330,000 cubic metres of concrete; 39,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement; 103,000 square metres of glass; and 15,500 square metres of embossed stainless steel. The tower took 22 million man hours to build.

Find Dubai's only IKEA, plus Arabic and international fashion labels, accessories, jewelry, home furnishings, and more. Then dine by the waterfront and watch dazzling water screen projections.
Reviewed By Gothoskar
We had a day free on our trip to Dubai, so we decided to explore Festival City Mall and we were not disappointed. Took a Metro right upto Creek station. Then after a short walk in the sun, we took a lovely AC boat ride to Festival City. It costs just 2 dirhams per way pp. The highlight of the visit was the IKEA store where we got many things at reasonable prices. They also have a bistro and lunch place which is good. Carrefour was also a good place. Other shops were mostly expensive. There is a fountain show there later in evening though we didn't wait for it. Came back the same route. It's a great mall to walk around and not as expensive as Dubai Mall
