New Wonders of Dubai
The new wonders of Dubai
Dubai has undergone a huge transformation over the last three centuries, evolving from a small fishing village to an internationally-renowned centre for trade and tourism. Now home to some of the most ambitious property developments in the world, it offers some incredible new sights for you to explore.
You’ll start with a photo stop at one the most iconic buildings in Dubai, the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab Hotel. Then you’ll drive through the Palm Jumeirah, an artificial archipelago in the shape of a palm tree, and the location of the magnificent Atlantis Hotel.
Next, we’ll visit the beautiful Dubai Marina, a vibrant waterfront hub that’s become a very popular spot for leisure and entertainment. From here, we’ll drive along Sheikh Zayed Road to spend some time in Souk Al Bahar, which translates to ‘The Market of the Sailor’.
Located on a man made island in Lake Burj, at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, this is a modern interpretation of the traditional Arabian marketplace. Wander through more than 100 shops; browse textiles, jewellery, fragrance, fashion and more; or stop at one of the many restaurants, cafes and lounges to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the view over the water.
