It is a hub dedicated to innovation where you can learn and engage via interactions with the latest and greatest technological advances.

The quintessential Dubai backlist destinations
Whether you plan to shop or simply window-shop, you’ve got to visit The Dubai Mall. This is a key part of Dubai culture and home to hundreds of stores and multiple entertainment options.

Visitors can head up the viewing deck for panoramic views as far as the eye can see from the world’s tallest structure.
Since you’re in the Middle East, it is highly recommended that you head out on a day or overnight trip to the desert.
