Top 10 Things Not to Miss in Dubai 1. Burj Khalifa “At The Top”: Soaring 829.8 m, it’s the world’s tallest tower and Dubai’s most famous landmark. The 124th-floor view will literally take your breath away. (Just don’t look down!) 2. Dubai Fountain Show: Watch water dance to music at Burj Lake, with jets shooting up to 150 m high. It’s free, it’s frequent (evenings every 30 min), and it’s 💯 Instagrammable. 3. Desert Safari: Dune bashing in 4x4s, sandboarding, camel rides and a BBQ under the stars – experience the magic of Arabian desert life. Pro tip: hold on tight during those dune drives! 4. Old Dubai & Creek Abra Ride: Step back in time by crossing Dubai Creek on a traditional abra boat and haggling in the Gold and Spice Souks for souvenirs. History + culture + great bargains in one afternoon. 5. The Palm & Aquaventure: Visit Palm Jumeirah (that palm-shaped island you’ve seen from space) and spend a day at Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark – home to the world’s longest water slide and crazy vertical drops. Water thrills = summer chills! 6. Museum of the Future: Dubai’s newest icon – a shiny silver oval with Arabic calligraphy. It’s been called “the most beautiful building on Earth” and inside you’ll time-travel to the year 2071. Mind = blown. 7. Burj Al Arab Afternoon Tea: You can’t leave Dubai without a glimpse of the sail-shaped 7-star hotel. If a night’s stay is out of budget, book an afternoon tea at Sahn Eddar inside – pure luxury on a tiered platter. Pinkies up! 8. Dubai Frame: Stand on a glass bridge 150 m high, with Old Dubai on one side and New Dubai on the other. This giant “picture frame” perfectly captures how far the city has come. Epic photos guaranteed. 📸 9. Ski Dubai: Yes, you can ski in the desert! Hit the indoor slopes at Mall of the Emirates’ Ski Dubai – complete with real snow, penguin encounters, and chairlifts. It’s a surreal cool-down from the outdoor heat. ⛄🎿 10. Weekend Brunch: Partake in Dubai’s unofficial sport – the extravagant weekend brunch. From endless cuisines to live music, it’s a foodie fiesta you must experience (at least once… or twice). Go hungry, leave happy… maybe with a slight wobble. 😉 How many have you ticked off? #DubaiBucketList #MustDoDubai #DubaiAdventures #SmoothDubai

I released my book ‘moving to Dubai’ for sale a couple of weeks ago and honestly I’ve been blown away. Blown away by the fact people have actually bought it. Real humans, not anyone I know either 😂😂 By the support from everyone. The kind words, messages and congratulations I’ve received. If you’d asked me a few years ago if I’d ever write a book I’d say absolutely not. I’m a numbers girl. But now here I am. Published author. Did I know what I was doing? No. Did I know how to write? No. Publish a book? Never. But I worked it out. Don’t put barriers in the way. If theirs something you want, then get to it! No one’s handing you anything on a plate. But I promise you, you’ll be so proud when it’s done! Link to grab my book below and in my bio 👍
