If you are a westerner, you probably have a few Apple stores close enough to your home to make visiting an Apple Store in Dubai seem like a non-priority. But you have never seen an Apple store like this before. An elevated round design, this is the crown jewel of Apple stores. It has an opulent glass facade that opens onto a balcony overlooking the city in the shade of the Burj Khalifa. The windows along the balcony are automated to close when the temperature gets too high or the wind and sands get too wild. The windows open at night, when live music and other events provide free entertainment for shoppers and passersby.

Dubai Marina

Dubai may be surrounded by desert, but it also borders water. The city is intricately built to border the water with elegance. You can walk along the water in the evening, enjoying the sights, smells, and sealife. Food, lodging, and entertainment are all within walking distance. There’s no sunset like the one you’ll see on the Dubai Marina.

The Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa defines the Dubai skyline, and if you’ve never heard of it before, you’ll immediately notice it once you visit the city. Visitors can go to the top of the Khalifa via a lift, from an entrance in the Dubai Mall. It’s something that every visitor must do, or you really can’t say you’ve been to Dubai.

The Dubai Mall 

The Dubai Mall is the shopping event of a lifetime. Dubai is known for its retail explosion, with stores and sales that fit the budget of any shopper. However, opulence is what gets all the press, and this is certainly what is most on display at the Dubai Mall. Even if you don’t take out your credit card a single time (though we don’t think you’ll be able to resist), the sheer scope and scale of the mall is awe inspiring. You might see one or more international celebrities while you’re there. This is a shopping Mecca that attracts everybody.

Dubai is unlike any other place on earth. If you want to see the wonder of human invention, indulge in materialistic bliss, or just enhance your experiences of international travel, Dubai is a marvellously singular destination. There’s so much more than could ever be described in a simple guide like this, so be sure to take any excuse to go there yourself.
