Geplaatst op 22-09-2022

Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates, is a six-hour flight from Amsterdam. The oil state in the desert has grown into one of the world's largest tourist destinations. Dubai has a reputation for building richly with petrodollars and for everything to be extreme, but what is there to do in Dubai?

Visit Dubai

The oil state has only 3.1 million inhabitants and is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Due to this location, Dubai is a popular destination for a winter holiday, as the months of November to March are the months with the most ideal weather in Dubai. In the summer months you don't want to be in the sweltering desert, but in the winter it is wonderfully mild and rarely below 20 degrees, making Dubai an excellent sun and beach destination. Furthermore, the city does everything it can to entertain the tourists. From extreme buildings, numerous events to special theme parks.

Burj Khalifa Tickets

Dubai is a city of extremes and the high peak in this list is the Burj Khalifa, the enormous skyscraper that can be counted as the tallest building in the world. The Burj Khalifa tickets was opened in 2010 and has a height of almost 830 meters. In addition to hotels and apartments, it is possible to dine and have a drink at a great height, but you can also enjoy the view from one of the platforms. From here you have phenomenal views of Dubai and the surrounding desert. It is recommended to book Burj Khalifa tickets in advance as popular times such as the sunset sell out quickly. Our advice is therefore always to purchase your Burj Khalifa tickets in advance for a carefree visit to the skyscraper of Dubai.

For example, at the foot of the Burj Khalifa is the Dubai Mall, an extremely large shopping center with, among other things, a beautiful sea aquarium, ice rink and go-kart tracks.
