Top 10 Things to do in Downtown Dubai, Emirate of Dubai

December 29, 2021 Jana Sager

Dubai is a destination that mixes modern culture with history, adventure with world-class shopping and entertainment. Catch a show at the Dubai Opera, see downtown from atop the Burj Khalifa and spend an afternoon along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile and spice souks. If you’re looking for thrills, you can float above the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard a high-speed ride at IMG Worlds of Adventure or skydive over the Palm Jumeirah.

We had a very chill pool and spa day in Armani Hotel last week that made me let go of the tension of previous weeks. We had a swim in the Armani pool first following with lunch. We ordered grilled chicken with vegetables, but I have to mention that it took 45 mins food to arrive although it was delicious and waiter was friendly and nice. Masseuse was very professional and could focus on knots and tensions on the body very well. I don't remember her name but she was super professional and friendly as well. I definitely recommend Armani Spa to everyone and will definitely go back myself.

Burj Khalifa

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.
