What Makes Dubai a Top Travel Destination
When looking for that perfect getaway or vacation with your friends, family or spouse, Dubai is sure to be mentioned as one of the destinations.
Every holiday, Dubai’s streets are flooded with vacationers from around the globe. This leads to the city being regarded as one of the most cosmopolitan cities around the world. So, what makes this metropolitan record 8-10 million visitors a year and place it on the map as a top travel destination?
- Man-Made Islands.
The most notable of Dubai’s projects is definitely the collection of its fabricated Islands. The Palm Island, holding the title of 8th wonder of the world, and also the largest man-made Islands globally gain their name from being the shape of a Palm tree. It is interesting to note that there are actually no palm trees on the Island, but the shape can be very well identified when you fly over. These offshore islands are created from reclaimed land and have since become a popular holiday destination thanks to their uniqueness.
There are three Islands that make up the Palm Islands. Palm Deira, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Jumeirah. Palm Jumeirah is the only Island open to visitors. It offers a quality blend of accommodations, from 5-star hotels and top-notch Dubai apartments such as the Shoreline that overlooks the famous Burj Al Arab to luxury villas with their own private beaches.

Burj Al Arab is a deluxe hotel that rises out of its own man-made island and is visible from everywhere in the city. It is internationally recognized as the world’s most luxurious hotel. It may be pricey to spend a night in but taking photos of it is free of charge. An interesting fact is that the hotel is cleaned from top to bottom after a sandstormJ. It is shaped to mimic a sailboat.
Burj Khalifa, the sophisticated tapering spectacle in Dubai is the world’s tallest building. The building is surrounded by hotels, must-visit shopping destinations and a world of entertainment options. A trip to the observation deck will also leave you with a free photo of this amazing wonder.
The above are just two of the significant architectures present in Dubai. There are more buildings with beautiful designs to leave you in awe.
