Dubai: A journey recommended by student travellers

Located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf, Dubai is a global metropolitan city as well as a major tourist hub. The UAE is composed of seven emirates and Dubai is one of them.

It is certainly a city of superlatives — anyone who visits this amazing city can find the tallest towers, the most luxurious hotels, and gravity-defying structures here. We can say without a doubt that it is home to exemplary modern architecture. The most iconic building is Burj Khalifa. Being the tallest building in the world, it looks gigantic and enormous. It was interesting to know that Burj Khalifa is also the tallest freestanding structure in the world. When we visited Burj Khalifa, we learnt that the building has the highest number of storeys in the world.

Our experience of exploring Dubai and Abu Dhabi was fabulous. These cosmopolitan cities offer fascinating experiences to the large number of visitors coming each year.

Amusement Parks

For all those who seek adventure, thrill, and excitement, one can choose to visit any of the numerous amusement parks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The most popular ones are Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi and IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai.

Ultra-Modern Architecture

Besides Burj Khalifa, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have a number of magnificent buildings. Some of those buildings include Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Burj Al Arab, and Dubai Frame.

Desert Safari

Any trip to Dubai is incomplete without experiencing the desert safari. The SUV ride in the midst of sand dunes was a thrilling experience. The splendid views of the desert in a traditional Arab setting made our journey even more enjoyable.

Spectacular Beaches

The beautiful, sandy beaches of Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer picturesque views. When we visited Jumeirah Beach, we were stunned by the lovely view of the coast. It is popular among tourists because of its soft, clean, and white-textured sand.

Our visit to Dubai and Abu Dhabi was really enjoyable. We certainly recommend that all students visit the UAE at least once in their lifetime.
