Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Dubai's first national park, a 225-square-kilometre reserve & home to Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa.
A bucket list experience. We were collected in a private G wagon from our hotel. Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. The private desert tour was outstanding. We had dinner in the desert at a table for 2. The food was first class. There were dancers, henna tattooists sisha and camels.

Dubai Desert Conservation is going to be crowded this winter. The night camps are the places people would love to stay. A VIP night cam will be introduced soon by Emirates. Barbecue will be the most loved dish here. You will be able to see the desert deers and camels here. If you are lucky enough might see the snakes and scorpions too. Be vigilant when you visit this place and do not litter anything anywhere in the desert or you will end up paying huge fines.
Mohib V — Google review
This was our first visit to the conservation reserve, and it was an unforgettable experience. The center features a beautifully curated mini-museum with fascinating insights into the region’s wildlife and native species. The highlight, of course, was the dune drive — an incredible journey through the desert landscape. The entire tour was well-organized and truly worth a visit for anyone wanting to connect with the natural heritage of the UAE.

It was great to see the gazelles and later that same night a fox whilst carefully driving through the desert with our guide from Arabian Adventures. Lovely landscapes, best enjoyed during sunset hours.

You can see Arabian Oryx, Gazelles, Foxe's, rabbits, sand fishes, so many kind of lizards and a lot of fauna and flora. The Main thing is one of the beautiful desert resort inside of this conservation reserve, which is called AL MAHA DESERT RESORT & SPA
Zahid K — Google review
Anything I thought I knew about the desert was wrong. It’s not just sand and sun—it’s life, history, and resilience. Seeing camels roam freely and spotting the oryx, Dubai’s national animal, in its natural habitat was something else. It made me wonder what it was like to live as a Bedouin—finding peace, purpose, and strength in the middle of nowhere. The desert holds so much more than meets the eye.

The experience was really satisfying.. We sent as a group for the Heritage Dessert Safari experience, and it was wonderful.. The excursion and venue were unique and compelling.. The food was amazing.. The staff were very polite and accommodating.. Shout out to Mr. Baron, Mr. Ahmad, Mr. Zayed, and to the rest of the team...

Thank you to Narayan and the Ibis Styles team!

This Hotel is a decent location, especially for the location and convenient access to stores in the area. The room is nice, and there are rarely any issues with the room. They are well-maintained and comfortable. As for service, the cleaning is amazing. One cleaner, Nur, is especially great at cleaning and is very respectful. I have absolutely no complaints against the cleaning services here. I only give 4 stars to the service due to the lengthy time it takes for food to come to the room. The food is not too bad (although I am not a fan of the Ice Cream in the Hotel), but it would be nice if it came quicker. Other than that, all the workers are generally respectful and helpful.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made my stay pleasant. Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier than planned, but overall I found the place nice. I also appreciated that it’s eco-friendly, also it's just by the bus stop. A couple of small things could be improved: the AC was a bit loud, the fire alarm light was slightly distracting at night, and the shower water pressure was quite low. Despite these minor issues, I still enjoyed my stay.

I’ve tried several spas in Abu Dhabi, but Massage Lisa Top stands out. The massage was incredibly relaxing, and the therapist was so skilled. They targeted all the right spots and I left feeling rejuvenated. If you're looking for a high-quality massage, this is the place to go!

Very good value for the price. Great buffet breakfast at a reasonable price. The rooms are spacious. Staff member Bishnu leaves the room sparkling clean. Location of 15 minutes from the airport. There's a factory nearby that makes the air smell sometimes, but you don't go outside in Dubai anyway because it's too hot. Far from downtown. So it depends of what you want.

The Dubai Mall is undoubtedly one of the finest and most well-managed malls in the world. Every visit is a pleasant experience, combining luxury, comfort, and convenience in one incredible destination. The variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions is simply unmatched — from high-end fashion brands to cozy cafés and family-friendly entertainment options. The entire mall is immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. The management has clearly put great effort into ensuring that visitors feel comfortable at all times. One of the most thoughtful features is the prayer area, which is quiet, spacious, and well-organized. The ablution (wudu) facilities are spotless and conveniently located, allowing both men and women to perform prayers with ease and peace of mind. The customer service throughout the mall is excellent; staff members are always courteous, professional, and helpful. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or simply exploring, The Dubai Mall offers an outstanding experience that reflects the true spirit of Dubai — modern, welcoming, and world-class. Highly recommended for tourists and residents alike. A must-visit destination that continues to set the standard for excellence in shopping and leisure.

The Dubai Mall transcends the concept of a traditional shopping mall. It's a city in itself, a true shopper's paradise. The array of entertainment is impressive: the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, the Dubai Fountain, Human Waterfalls, and even an ice skating rink. Its unprecedented scale and the combination of shops, restaurants, and attractions make it an overwhelming yet unforgettable experience.

🏙️ The Dubai Mall – More Than a Mall, It’s a World of Its Own! 🌟🇦🇪 The Dubai Mall isn’t just a shopping center — it’s truly a city within a city! The sheer scale and grandeur of this place are beyond imagination. From luxury shopping and gourmet dining to entertainment, leisure, and sightseeing, it offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Every corner has something extraordinary — from the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo to the breathtaking Dubai Fountain, which lights up the evenings with a spectacular show of music, light, and water. Whether you’re there for a day or a week, you’ll still find something new every time. The ambience, cleanliness, and world-class facilities make it a global benchmark for modern retail and recreation. Simply put, it’s not a mall — it’s a miracle of design, innovation, and experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable destination that defines Dubai’s grandeur — a must-visit for anyone who steps foot in the city! 🌆✨
Bhupendra J — Google review
One of the most iconic malls in the world and definitely one of the main attractions of Dubai if not the “main” attraction. Located next to the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, it covers over 1 million square meters and offers more than 1,200 retail stores, luxury boutiques, and a wide range of dining options. It’s not just a mall, it’s a major entertainment destination. Inside, you’ll find attractions such as the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink, the Dubai Fountain just outside, and themed zones like the Gold Souk and Fashion Avenue. The mall also houses VR Park, cinemas, and numerous flagship global brands. The mall is enormous and it needs minimum of 1 full day only dedicated to it. It’s a destination by itself.

⭐ A World of Its Own — Absolutely Spectacular! Dubai Mall is hands down one of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited. It’s not just a shopping mall — it’s a full experience! 🛍️🌟 From luxury brands to affordable shops, from the incredible aquarium to the dancing fountains, every corner has something breathtaking. The mall is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and surprisingly easy to navigate despite its size. There are endless restaurants, entertainment options, and places to explore — you can easily spend an entire day here and still not see it all! The atmosphere is vibrant, family-friendly, and truly world-class. ✨🌍 Whether you’re shopping, sightseeing, or just enjoying the ambiance, Dubai Mall is an absolute must-visit.

A very large, stylish and clean shopping mall, with a variety of different brands to shop from... It has a variety of different cafes and special restaurants for every taste, but if you go, be sure to bring a hoodie because it's freezing. It also has an aquarium, which is a very interesting experience, especially for children.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a must-visit attraction in Dubai, especially for families. It features an impressive underwater tunnel, glass-bottom boat tours, and a diverse collection of over 140 sea life species. The aquarium houses the largest collection of Sand Tiger sharks globally and offers close encounters with various marine creatures like seahorses, starfish, and jellies. Visitors can also interact with friendly sea animals at touch tanks.
Visiting the aquarium at Dubai Mall is an experience that combines tranquility and awe in a truly unique way. The place feels both vast and intimate at the same time, you can stroll through (extremely clean) glass tunnels surrounded by marine life, yet still feel a calming sense of peace. The atmosphere is beautiful, clean, and serene, offering moments for reflection and pure enjoyment of the fascinating creatures. The staff are helpful and attentive, and everything is well organized. For those seeking a bit more excitement, there are opportunities to touch a shark, swim with them, or even interact with penguins, unforgettable experiences that make the visit even more special. Overall, this is a wonderful 1–2 hour experience, perfect for both adults and children. Highly recommended, worth every minute.
Nils V — Google review
Slightly pricey buy was worth it. My son loved it. A lot of animals, fish, insects and even some large crocodiles and much more to see here. Some intractive areas where kids can feed or touch the fish. Expected a bit more from the glass bottom boat ride, it was very noisy and couldn't clearly hear the guide was saying. Overall experience was very good though.
Millissa G — Google review
The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo in Dubai Mall is truly a superb and completely justifies its reputation as a world-class attraction. You can see main tank wall in Dubai Mall's 2 floors—it's one of the world's largest suspended aquarium. Just seeing the colossal acrylic panel is amazing, but walking through the 48-meter Underwater Tunnel is the real experience as you can see sea life through the glass. The Underwater Zoo upstairs is also good experience. You can see the legendary Croc, Gentoo Penguins, otters, and various reptiles and nocturnal creatures.
Bharat D — Google review

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is truly a spectacular experience that completely justifies its reputation as a world-class attraction. ​The sheer size of the main tank is absolutely awe-inspiring—it's one of the world's largest suspended aquariums, holding a massive 10 million liters of water. Just seeing the colossal acrylic panel from the Dubai Mall is impressive, but walking through the 48-meter Underwater Tunnel is the real highlight. Being enveloped by the tank on all sides gives an unforgettable, immersive feeling as sharks and rays glide right overhead. ​The collection of marine life is stunningly vast and diverse, boasting over 33,000 aquatic animals from more than 140 species. A notable feature is that it's home to the largest collection of Sand Tiger Sharks in the world! Beyond the main tank's sharks, rays, and huge schools of fish, the Underwater Zoo upstairs offers even more unique encounters. You can see the legendary King Croc, an immense 750kg Australian saltwater crocodile, as well as captivating Gentoo Penguins, playful otters, and various reptiles and nocturnal creatures. ​For anyone who loves marine life or wants to be stunned by the scale of a truly grand aquarium, this is an absolute must-visit. It's a mesmerizing journey into the heart of the ocean, all set within the impressive architecture of the Dubai Mall.
Jayaraj S — Google review
Amazing aquarium, but one thing to be aware of is if you start from the top floor, ask how to get to the ground floor to see the main fishes! We missed out on a good chunk! You can see the big fishes from outside within the mall on the lower floors. Wished we went through the under water tunnel with my young one!

The Dubai Fountain

Mentioned on

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
The Dubai Fountain is a mesmerizing aquatic show located at the base of the Burj Khalifa, offering captivating displays of water, music, and light. With water jets reaching impressive heights and choreographed performances set to a variety of musical melodies, it provides a spectacular sensory experience for visitors of all ages. It's recommended to secure a viewing spot in advance for popular evening shows and consider enjoying the display from nearby restaurants or cafes. The fountain operates daily with evening shows being particularly popular.
It’s free, family-friendly, and one of the most unforgettable experiences in Dubai. A must-visit for anyone in the city! It absolutely mesmerizing and one of the highlights of visiting Downtown Dubai. Set right in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa and next to The Dubai Mall, it offers a spectacular water, music, and light show that feels magical every single time. The shows usually run every 30 minutes in the evening, and each performance is different—sometimes elegant and calm, sometimes powerful and dramatic. The synchronization of the water jets (shooting up to 150 meters!) with the music and lights is breathtaking, especially against the shimmering Burj Khalifa backdrop. I recommend go in Apple Store floor 1 and to out balcony (it's free). Arriving a little early to get a good spot along the waterfront promenade. Watching it at night is particularly stunning when the city lights reflect on the water. You can also take an abra (traditional boat) ride on the lake for a unique close-up view.
Ton T — Google review
The fountain show was spectacular. We went on a boat ride with a firm called ‘at the top’ - really good but lots of queueing to get tickets, then to get on the boat etc…. We were nearly late for the show! The show itself was incredible but o would say perhaps the people that had the best view were those eating their evening meals in the restaurant balconies over looking the lake! Something to think about next time rather than queueing and paying for a boat ride! Dinner and a show!
Hirsch T — Google review
The Dubai Fountain is one of those experiences that really captures the spirit of Dubai – bold, impressive, and beautifully executed. Every show feels different because the music, choreography, and lights combine in a way that makes the whole area come alive. Watching the water jets shoot up to incredible heights in perfect sync with classical, Arabic, or even contemporary music is mesmerizing. I recommend arriving a bit early, especially in the evenings, since the area around Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall gets very busy. The view is best from the promenade near Souk Al Bahar or the lower ground level of Dubai Mall where you’re closer to the water. If you want something extra, booking a spot on one of the boats that float in the lake gives you a unique front-row perspective. The shows are short (just a few minutes each) but they happen frequently, so even if you miss one you don’t have to wait long for the next. Nighttime performances are the most magical because of the combination of lights and the illuminated Burj Khalifa as a backdrop. Families will find the area safe and convenient – there are plenty of restaurants and cafes with terrace seating if you prefer to watch while dining. The atmosphere is lively, yet still family-friendly. However, it’s not the best place if you’re hoping for a quiet, peaceful stroll – the crowds are part of the experience. Overall, this is a must-see in Dubai. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the fountain always feels special. It’s not just a tourist attraction – it’s a world-class performance staged in the heart of the city. Definitely worth planning an evening around it!
H A — Google review
The Dubai Fountain is truly a mesmerizing experience! Located right next to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, it’s one of the most magical sights in the city. The combination of water, lights, and music creates a breathtaking show that feels straight out of a movie.The best part is that it’s completely free to watch and happens every 30 minutes in the evening. Each show is different, with beautiful songs and perfectly timed water movements. The reflections on the lake and the backdrop of the Burj make it even more stunning.It does get quite crowded, so it’s a good idea to reach a bit early for the best spot. Watching the show just after sunset gives you the perfect mix of daylight and city lights.

Majestic Dubai Fountain: A Must-Visit Spectacle in the Heart of the City. If you're in Dubai, the Dubai Fountain is a must-visit spot that captures the city's blend of wonder and extravagance. This majestic place sits right in front of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, turning a simple water feature into a free, mesmerizing show. Expect jets of water shooting up to 140 meters high, synced to lights, music, and even occasional dancers on the surface—it's like a symphony in liquid form. The show lasts about 5 minutes, repeating every half hour, and draws crowds that feel electric yet orderly. How to Reach There - Getting to the Dubai Fountain is straightforward and part of the adventure. From Dubai International Airport, hop on the Dubai Metro (Red Line) to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station—it's just a 20-30 minute ride and costs around AED 5-7. Exit via the mall and follow the signs to the fountain; you're there in 5 minutes. If driving, use Sheikh Zayed Road and park at the Dubai Mall. Pro tip: Avoid peak traffic (7-9 AM or 5-8 PM) for smoother sailing. What to Expect - You'll find a massive, crescent-shaped basin (275 meters long) flanked by the world's tallest building and a luxury mall buzzing with shoppers. The atmosphere is lively—families picnic on the lawns, couples stroll the bridges, and street performers add flair. It's free to watch, but the vibe shifts from relaxed daytime dips to a full-on spectacle at dusk. Just brace for crowds; it's popular for a reason. Best Timings of the Day - While the fountain dances from afternoon till late, the night time view is better by far. Shows run Wednesday to Sunday from 6 PM to 11 PM (every 30 minutes), with extra flair during weekends. Arrive by sunset (around 6 PM in winter, 7 PM in summer) for that golden-hour magic transitioning to neon-lit drama. Daytime (from 1 PM) is fine for a casual peek, but the lights and reflections make evenings unforgettable—skip midday heat if you can. Tips for the Best Pictures and Videos - To capture those envy-worthy shots, ensure you reach timely to take a best place to click pictures. Stake out spots 15-20 minutes early: the Burj Khalifa Lake bridges offer prime angles for wide shots framing the tower, while the Dubai Mall's Souk side gives closer, intimate views. Use a tripod for steady videos during the music swells. Shoot in burst mode to nail water arcs mid-leap, and enable HDR for those glowing lights against the dark sky. Follow the fountain show + Burj views by timing your pans—start wide on the sprays, zoom to the Burj's silhouette, and catch the finale splash. Low-light mode on your phone works wonders, but a wide-angle lens elevates it. Bonus: Visit on a weekday for fewer elbows in your frame. In short, the Dubai Fountain isn't just a show—it's Dubai's heartbeat. Plan for an evening visit, and you'll leave with memories (and media) that sparkle. Rating: 5/5 – Pure magic!
Rohit M — Google review
Most definitely one of the main highlights of any Dubai trip and an unforgettable experience. The entire show, the music, the lively atmosphere, the view of Burj Khalifa and the surrounding structures, the crowds from all around the world watching and cheering, it was truly something special. Make sure you don’t ever miss it when you’re in Dubai.

The Dubai Fountain is truly an unforgettable experience. The way the water, lights, and music come together is simply beautiful. I especially loved the moments when the fountain danced to Arabic music — it created a magical atmosphere that felt both cultural and emotional. The choreography of the water jets moves perfectly with the rhythm, making it a must-see show for anyone visiting Downtown Dubai. Highly recommended!
Shahmir A — Google review
Absolutely lovely place. Gets a little crowded, but still you can get a decent place to enjoy the show. The fountain runs every 30 minutes for 2-4 minutes, every time it's a different performance, so that is absolutely stunning. Definitely would recommend visiting and if you don't mind spending 20AED (and getting a little spray) - definitely check out the deck. It has beautiful view close to the water sprays, but no seating arrangements. Hope this helps 🙏

The Burj Khalifa is an iconic 828-meter skyscraper in Dubai, known as the world's tallest building. It offers a unique experience with observation decks on the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors, providing breathtaking views of the city from different heights. The tower also features a restaurant, hotel, and offices. At its base lies the man-made Burj Khalifa Lake where visitors can enjoy the mesmerizing Dubai Fountain show every night.
Definitely recommend it! We booked it for 4 to 5 however we could actually get in around 6 pm so make sure you have enough time for it. The line up was so long but everything was under control. Wish there were better policies with covid as there were no physical distances there. Overall, I would call it the unique experience!

We purchased tickets a day in advance, and the waiting time was minimal. Prices for souvenirs and refreshments were also quite reasonable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. The tour at the top took us a little over an hour. I suggest going after 4 in the afternoon to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

I don't know how to receive lightning anymore, I can only say that Burj Khalifa is the tallest roof in the world today. The tower has more than 120 floors and modern luxury design, all with elevators for convenient movement. The building is located in the center of the city. Must visit when coming to Dubai, everyone.

The Burj Khalifa is amazing! It's the tallest building globally, and you feel like you're on top of the world when you're up there. The view is mind-blowing, especially during sunset. The elevator is super fast, and you can see the whole city from the observation deck. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

The world's highest skyscraper of all time. Not only is this the world's tallest skyscraper, but it's also Dubai's most exquisite work of urban planning and architecture. AMAZING If you have the opportunity to examine the masterpiece up close from the outside as well as from the top of the structure, you should be able to appreciate what I mean. The inside staff provided excellent service and the staff members were nice. The view was also spectacular.

Words cannot express the feelings when you visit this magnificent place and a landmark of Dubai. It's huge and equally beautiful. The building itself is alive and becomes charismatic by evening with brilliant lighting and is topped up by a fountain show every 10 minutes. It's a hypnotising place and you want to be here again and again.

Al Qudra Lakes is a serene desert oasis located in the Dubai-Al Qudra desert area. The atmosphere is peaceful and expansive, with wide open skies and minimal city noise. It’s ideal for relaxing, picnicking, or a quiet evening with nature. The lakes give a surprising touch of greenery amidst the golden desert, creating a striking contrast. Tranquil, natural, and photogenic vibes. Great for a digital detox or slow-paced outdoor time. Mostly families, couples, nature enthusiasts, and birdwatchers. Evenings and weekends can be slightly busier. The desert sunset at Al Qudra is breathtaking, with the sun dipping behind sand dunes and reflecting off the lake waters. The sky transforms into orange, pink, and purple hues, perfect for photography or a quiet reflection. Lakeside spots offer unobstructed views, so it’s easy to set up a picnic or simply watch the changing colors. Al Qudra Lakes is part of a desert ecosystem, so visitors often spot wildlife Flamingos, herons, ducks, swans, and migratory species depending on the season. Occasionally gazelles, desert foxes, and rabbits. Small fish and other freshwater species inhabit the lakes. Bring binoculars if you enjoy birdwatching it’s one of the best spots near Dubai for this activity. Lakes are connected by walking paths and small bridges. Clean and safe for wildlife; not for swimming. Water reflects the desert and sky, adding to the tranquil vibe. For cycling loves there is a 50 km Al Qudra cycling track runs along the lakes and desert; bike rentals are nearby. Walking paths around the lakes make for easy hikes and photography stops.

Tamer R — Google review
My family and I, along with a friend, visited the lake, a place that was calm and quiet. We reached our destination in the evening to enjoy the sunset. However, since it was the weekend, the area was crowded with vehicles. Many people were setting up tents for overnight camping. One major difficulty we faced was the lack of washrooms. If you’re visiting with family and kids, this can be a significant issue. I didn’t see any washrooms, though I’m not sure if they were available elsewhere. Another challenge was the lack of proper lighting. This might be intentional due to the presence of wild animals—we saw many deer at night. Additionally, the place was dusty, with vehicles constantly moving around. If you have breathing issues, it’s better to carry a mask. There are no nearby shops, so it’s best to bring enough water, a camping light, and all necessary supplies. The place is well-maintained, and I loved the ambience—a perfect escape from the busy town. You can do grilling, but you’ll need to carry everything yourself. The lake is beautiful, and we spotted flamingos, various ducks, and deer at night. However, navigating the roads at night can be difficult, as they are confusing, and you cannot entirely rely on maps.

It was fascinating — those butterflies had such stunning and vibrant colors. I had never seen butterflies that beautiful before. But to be honest, it’s one of those places that was worth visiting once, yet I wouldn’t feel the need to go there again. I don’t mean it’s not a beautiful place; it definitely is. I just think it’s the kind of spot you see once, enjoy, and move on — if I ever travel there again, I probably wouldn’t visit it a second time.

It truly felt like stepping into a dream world! The atmosphere was calm and refreshing, perfect for relaxing and taking beautiful photos. I also loved how educational the place is — with displays about butterfly species, their life stages, and conservation. It’s not only beautiful but meaningful too.

Dubai Miracle Garden is a captivating botanical paradise nestled in the heart of the city. It features an enchanting display of floral artistry, including themed gardens adorned with millions of blooming flowers, whimsical sculptures, and intricate landscapes. Visitors can explore vibrant floral arches, heart-shaped pathways, and topiary animals while capturing the vivid colors of blossoms at their finest by planning an early visit.
🌺 Miracle Garden – A Blossoming Dream Come True 🌺 My visit to Miracle Garden was an experience I’ll never forget. The moment I entered, I felt surrounded by a world of colors, fragrances, and breathtaking floral art. Every flower seemed to bloom with its own story, and every pathway felt like walking through a living painting. The arrangements were truly magical — from delicate roses to vibrant petunias, each display was crafted with such creativity and passion. The garden felt peaceful, refreshing, and full of life. It’s a place where nature and imagination meet, creating moments that touch the heart and calm the mind. I found myself stopping at every corner, amazed by how beautifully the flowers were arranged in unique shapes and designs. The atmosphere was serene, the air filled with the gentle scent of blossoms, and everywhere I looked felt like a picture-perfect memory. Miracle Garden is not just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel. A place where flowers speak, beauty surrounds you, and unforgettable memories bloom. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, photography, or simply wants to experience pure happiness in full color. 🌷

Dubai Miracle Garden is an incredibly beautiful place that radiates joy and creativity. While we expected a bit more variety in the blooms, you can’t help but appreciate the immense hard work, artistry, and attention to detail that has gone into designing every section of this garden. We wanted to experience it in natural daylight rather than under artificial lights, so we took the bus from Mall of the Emirates and arrived around 3 PM. It was a comfortable time to stroll around and truly enjoy the atmosphere. The vibrant color combinations and greenery are absolutely admirable. However, by around 5-6 PM, the garden does get quite crowded. There are plenty of food and drink stalls available—decent in taste, though slightly overpriced. Numerous seating areas are thoughtfully arranged for individuals and groups, making it easy to relax and take in the surroundings. The staff deserves praise for maintaining such a high level of cleanliness and order throughout the park. Overall, Dubai Miracle Garden is a wonderful destination for a family outing of a few hours. If you’re visiting with children, do remind them not to pluck the flowers—there’s clearly a great deal of effort behind keeping everything in perfect condition. Definitely worth a visit! 🌺

Visiting Miracle Garden Dubai at night with my wife was truly magical. The garden transforms after sunset, with thousands of lights illuminating the vibrant floral displays, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere. Walking hand-in-hand through the beautifully lit pathways, surrounded by stunning flower arrangements and glowing structures, felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The cool evening air made the experience even more enjoyable, and the garden was peaceful yet lively with other visitors sharing the same awe. It’s a perfect spot for couples looking for a memorable and picturesque outing in Dubai. The combination of flowers and lights at night made our visit unforgettable.

Dubai Miracle Garden is one of those rare places that genuinely lives up to its name. The moment you walk through the entrance, you’re greeted with a burst of colors, creativity, and floral designs that feel almost surreal. It’s not just a garden — it’s a beautifully crafted experience that blends art, landscaping, and imagination in the most extraordinary way. Every installation here is thoughtfully created, from the massive floral sculptures to the themed walkways that guide you through different worlds of flowers. The attention to detail is simply unmatched. You’ll find everything from heart-shaped tunnels and floral castles to butterflies, airplanes, and life-size structures completely covered in blooms. Each corner feels like a fresh discovery, making it perfect for photography, relaxation, and slow walks with loved ones. What really impressed me was the maintenance and cleanliness of the entire garden. Despite the huge number of visitors, the place remains well-organized, and the staff is polite and helpful. There are plenty of shaded areas, resting spots, and small cafés where you can relax and enjoy refreshments. The pathways are stroller-friendly and easy to navigate, making it ideal for families. The garden offers a wonderful balance of nature and innovation. It’s amazing to see how thousands of flowers are kept blooming so beautifully in the middle of the desert — a true testament to Dubai’s vision and creativity. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle, this is the perfect spot. It’s equally enjoyable whether you’re with family, friends, or exploring solo. Overall, Dubai Miracle Garden is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to witness beauty, creativity, and nature at its finest!

Miracle Garden is truly a once-in-a-lifetime place to visit. The designs are unique, creative, and unlike anything you’ll see elsewhere. It does get very crowded, and both the tickets and food are on the expensive side, but the overall experience is still memorable. If you enjoy beautiful floral displays and don’t mind the crowd, it’s definitely worth seeing at least once.
Halima R — Google review
It exceeded my expectations. Breathtaking place. It is unbelievable that something so full of life can exist in the desert, under such high temperatures. The entire garden feels like a fairytale. Every corner has its own charm. You can comfortably spend about an hour and a half exploring, though it is easy to stay longer just admiring the details. It can get quite hot in some areas, so make sure to bring a hat, water, and light clothing. Inside the garden, you will find things like drinks and ice creams. Getting there is simple. From Mall of the Emirates, there is a bus stop nearby. You can buy a grey Nol card there (it is best to purchase it inside since you can pay by card there). The outdoor kiosk accepts only dirhams. You can return the card later if you do not need it anymore.

Ski Dubai was a great experience. Located in the mall, it's easy to access and a good location. They give you gear like gloves, helmet and suits. It was slightly extra cold but the free hot chocolate warmed us. There were rides like the snow sledge, ziplining, tubing, zorbing chair lifts. Would not recommend the bumper cars at all as it was very small. There was face painting for free, a great gesture along with a magic show for kids. Suitable for all ages. Good place overall to spend 2 hours.

Amazing experience to meet the lovely penguins! Booking can only be done online but was difficult because the schedule was fully packed for the whole month. The jacket and boots rental from the counter was smooth and they give you free gloves and disposable socks. After the meeting point and explanation we were guided to our seats. Although you can't touch them; the penguins come really close. The food selection and taste was good. A photographer snaps complimentary photos. Thanks to Darren's humor and informative presentation; our experience was very memorable. Much appreciation to marcus/carol/quee and the rest of the team too. We left happier and more informed about the penguins species.

So hi everyone i hope you are doing well, before some days we made a plan to went at the beach which is near by to burj al arab. So after getting lunch from miyaa g restaurant we went straight to the beach at almost 3pm. The environment was quite nice as this was my first time so i was very happy by seeing the beauty of beach and the people who were spending their time with their families. After reaching there we changed our clothes and went to the water. The water was little bit warm but okay for enjoying. We enjoyed for almost 2 hours. I didn't know how to swim so it was a little bit fear for me to go more deeper but yeah that was very good experience of my life. So whenever you got free time please go there because this time time will never come again so you just have to enjoy every present moment of Life. POV: may be some people would think about my shirt while swimming so i wanna clear as this was my first time and i have introvert personality so that's why i couldn't off my shirt in front of all. Sorry but it is what it is.

Marina Beach .. Where Time Forgot Us the night felt like it was made just for us .. We walked with bare feet in the cool sand, felt the water touch our toes like it was greeting us again, remembered us. Then we laid down on the sand, watching the sea, holding each other close, whispering, joking, and remembering our first time at the beach… with that soft k.. that still makes me smile)) even didn’t had my favourite(( The whole beach was quiet and lovely under the full moon. It felt like the world disappeared, and it was only us , waves, and a sky full of stories. We forgot the time completely… until suddenly it was 3:30 AM, and somehow we still wanted more. We wished we could borrow hours from the next day, just to stay together a little longer .. nights like that are never enough. That moment… that beach… that moon… and we .. A memory that stays alive there like a breeze waiting till we back again and breathe it together ..

Great spot for a beach day with family, but it can get really hot, so make sure to wear a cap and bring water—especially if you’re coming with kids. From the Marina Walk entrance, there’s a free kids’ play area, which was a pleasant surprise! There’s no free parking nearby, but paid parking is available. Just expect a bit of a walk from your parking spot to the beach. The area is clean, and the views are stunning, especially in the evening. Highly recommend visiting early morning or around sunset for a more comfortable experience.

The long stretch of golden sand with crystal-clear waters makes it an ideal spot for a beach day with family or friends. The entire Marina area is beautifully planned, with its iconic skyline, luxury yachts cruising along the waters, and a vibrant atmosphere that comes alive both during the day and at night. The beach is well-maintained, clean, and organized, with plenty of options for food, shopping, and activities around. Whether you want to take a stroll along The Walk at JBR, enjoy water sports, or simply sit by the shore admiring the views, Dubai Marina Beach never fails to impress. The sunset here is magical—when the sky changes its colors over the tall towers, it creates a picture-perfect moment. What makes the Marina even more extraordinary is the view of Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel, located on Bluewaters Island. In the evenings, the entire wheel lights up with a mesmerizing display of colors and patterns that reflect beautifully on the waters below. The light show is a true spectacle, adding grandeur to the already dazzling Marina skyline. Watching Ain Dubai illuminate the night sky feels like witnessing a masterpiece of modern architecture and technology. The synchronization of lights is enchanting and gives visitors a sense of awe, making it one of the best night attractions in Dubai. Together, Dubai Marina Beach and Ain Dubai light display create an unforgettable experience—one filled with beauty, relaxation, and wonder. It’s the perfect place to unwind by the sea, take in the luxury vibes of the Marina, and end the evening by marveling at one of the most impressive light shows in the world. A must-visit destination for anyone who wants to experience the heart and soul of modern Dubai.

Marina Beach is one of Dubai’s most popular and picturesque public beaches, located right next to The Walk at JBR. The golden sandy shoreline stretches wide and clean, with crystal-clear blue waters that are safe and inviting for swimming. The beach is very well-maintained with lifeguards on duty, ensuring a safe environment for families and visitors. There are plenty of shaded seating areas, showers, and changing rooms, making it convenient for a full day out. What makes Marina Beach special is its vibrant surroundings — the JBR promenade is lined with restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream stalls, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after your swim. The backdrop of towering skyscrapers against the beach creates a unique blend of city and seaside views, making it a favorite spot for photography. In the evenings, the area comes alive with street performers, open-air markets, and a warm, buzzing atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a peaceful morning walk, water sports like paddleboarding and jet skiing, or simply to enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the Arabian Gulf, Marina Beach is a must-visit destination in Dubai.

Aquaventure is honestly one of the most exciting places I’ve visited in Dubai. The atmosphere is energetic from the moment you walk in, and the whole park is extremely well organized. The slides are a perfect mix of fun and thrill — especially the big ones that give you that “heart dropping” moment in the best way. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always around if you needed directions. I also loved how clean and well-maintained everything was, even though the park was busy. Whether you’re going with friends or family, it’s a full-day experience where you won’t feel bored for a single minute. Definitely worth the visit and the price. Can’t wait to go again!

Aquaventure at Atlantis Dubai never disappoints! This was our 4th visit, and it just keeps getting better every time. The park is extremely kids-friendly — from the amazing splash areas to the gentle rides and helpful staff, everything is designed with families in mind. Our kids had an absolute blast, and we always feel safe and well taken care of. The park is spotless, beautifully maintained, and there’s something fun for everyone, no matter the age. Highly recommend for an unforgettable family day out — we can’t wait for visit number five!

Aquaventure World is one of the best experience and it is extremely well organized, clean, and filled with exciting rides for all age groups. The staff and lifeguards are friendly and attentive, making the experience feel safe and enjoyable. We spent the entire day here and still couldn’t finish all the slides, that’s how big it is! The only downside is that food and drinks are a bit expensive, but overall, it’s absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended.

We visited as two couples and hired a luxury cabana for the day, it was worth every penny and made the day even more special. That was mainly thanks to Paul who looked after us, he was truly fantastic - the cabana was immaculate, beautifully presented and everything we needed was right there. We couldn’t have had a better day
Lorri S — Google review
Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis Dubai felt like an overhyped experience. While the branding and reputation suggest a world-class attraction, the reality was underwhelming. Many of the rides and sections require additional payment beyond the already expensive full-day pass, which was quite disappointing. It feels unfair to limit access after paying a premium. The food options inside are extremely overpriced and not worth the cost. The crowd management wasn’t the best either, with long wait times and minimal shade in some areas. Overall, the experience didn’t live up to the expectations. For a place that promotes itself as one of the best waterparks, it lacks value for money. Giving it 2 stars mainly for the cleanliness and safety measures, but wouldn't recommend unless expectations are very low.
Mithun S — Google review
It was an amazing experience. We bought tickets online. There was no queue at the entrance. You can bring in a small bottle of water. We got a locker for 60aed and put all our stuff in it. You get socks for free so you don’t need to bring slippers with you. There was a queue for the rides but not too long. We went on weekday so there was maybe 15 min wait line for some rides. We were there from 11am til 5pm. Getting a taxi back was a little challenging, i would recommend exiting earlier.

Truly one of a kind – the architecture and interior design are marvelous. Every section of the mall is themed beautifully, and walking through feels more like a cultural journey than just a shopping trip. Each court has its unique charm, making the whole place eye-catching and worth exploring. The variety of shops is impressive, from high-end brands to everyday essentials, and the dining options are just as diverse with plenty of cafés and restaurants to choose from. The cinema here is also a plus for entertainment after shopping. The mall is huge, and sometimes it takes a lot of walking to get from one end to another. Clearer signboards and a bit more seating areas in between would make the experience even better.

Best ambience... an interesting journey between cultures. Architectural and decoration is amazing. You may want your guests to join here also. Not far from Abu Dhabi also. Only I wished more parking lots, especially underground.

One of the best in the world. Renowned for its historical allusion and also for the marvellous mall itself. Very vast and well-structured. You will get almost everything here. Each section is quite artistically named. And once you are inside you feel as if you are in a different world
Dr G — Google review
Interesting architecture and a good place to go if you are looking to shop in well known stores. Both the designer luxury brands and the regular everyday ones like H & M are represented. It is quite large, but easy to navigate. The Carrefour is worth mentioning. My family defaults to this mall when they are looking for specific items (my DIL is French). I always found what I was looking for: some clothing items, once I was looking for shoes and swimming outfits and found them very easily.

Ibn Battuta Mall is beautifull mall full of interesting details from famous Muslim scientists exhibits to fun Superman and Hulk monuments. We also did a little shopping at Home Box. Perfect for families, sightseeing, and casual shopping! On our way through the Dubai Metro, we were amazed by the skyline! Kids were excited, calling some buildings fun names like the Donut Building-Museum of the Future,Boat style Building the famous-Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and many other iconic skyscrapers. The route offers stunning views of Dubai’s modern architecture , Perfect for sightseeing and capturing photos

A huge shopping mall, a lot of brands from all over the world, a variety of coffee shops including well-known chains, a food court,a large grocery shop.interesting interior design at times as different parts of the mall are designed after different countires like China, Iran, Egypt, etc. The location is convenient, around 10-15 minutes from Marina by taxi, large parking all around the place. However, if you are not into shopping, there is nothing really to do, even not enough benches or couches to sit and rest. Shops are rather usual, what you find in Europe or USA, nothing spectacular, prices average, no good deals except standard discounts that you will find everywhere in the world. Wouldn't come here again as I'm not a shopping fan.

Legoland® Dubai

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Legoland® Dubai is a theme park dedicated to Lego bricks where kids of all ages can enjoy fun rides, interactive shows and attractions, and more. It's one of the best tourist attractions in Dubai for children aged 2-12 years old and parents too will love it! There are over 40 different rides, shows, and attractions spread across six different themed lands with something for everyone. Plus, there's a waterpark right next door making it an amazing day out for the whole family.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – First visit to Legoland (and definitely not the last!) So… our first ever visit to Legoland! We started the day in the water park, ready for fun and splashing — but the lock system had other plans. It didn’t work. At all. The QR code on the wall just stood there, mocking us, while a crowd of confused parents (including me!) tried scanning it like secret agents on a mission. 👉 Tip to Legoland: please put up a sign saying “This doesn’t work – go here instead!” And about the lockers… you can choose between large and jumbo (extra large). Honestly, I don’t know how many centimeters of difference there is — but not much! We’re a family of four, not overpackers, and we could barely squeeze into the “jumbo.” Anyway — once we got inside, things got much better! The staff were super friendly, smiling, helpful, and made everyone feel welcome. ❤️ Note to visitors: please don’t litter! It was sad to see trash on the ground in such a nice place. Maybe the water park could use a few more staff to keep things clean, but the toilets were spotless, so applause for that 👏 After the water park, we went to Legoland itself — and wow! We didn’t have to wait in any lines (yes, that’s possible!), and the Halloween theme gave it extra charm 🎃 But again… dear visitors… stop littering! Those tiny Haribo bags were everywhere 😢 Toilets again: still great. ✅ Staff: still lovely. ✅ Crowds: what crowds? We felt like we had the park to ourselves — it was fantastic! They are quite strict about the height requirements (some rides need 105 cm minimum), but that’s understandable for safety. We ate at the buffet, and the food was surprisingly good — no complaints there. In fact, we had such a good time that after the water park, we upgraded our tickets to silver annual passes! 🎉 We’ll definitely be back within 12 months — and not just once. One little wish though… maybe time for a small makeover? A deep cleaning, a little paint here and there — the park deserves to look as colorful as the Lego bricks it celebrates!
Dina H — Google review
Legoland theme park and water park is an absolutely amazing experience and a true heaven for children. My family had a wonderful time exploring both parks, and the detailed LEGO builds and interactive rides sparked so much creativity. ​Tip for Visiting: I highly recommend dedicating one full day to each park (Theme Park on Day 1, Water Park on Day 2). Trying to rush through both in a single day means you miss out on a lot of the fun and enjoyment. Splitting them up allowed us to savor the experience and make the most of our tickets. ​A Quick Note on Food: The food inside the park is a bit expensive, which is typical for a theme park, but the quality was decent and it was definitely worth it for the convenience and to keep the awesome day going. ​Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we left with tired, happy kids and incredible memories! We will definitely be back.

I went for a full day access with my 8 and 4 years old kids. All I can say that it was a wonderful experience for all of us. The park was very organized and clean starting from the entrance to the main hall, and going to the deferent parts of the park. The shows were amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My advice: 1) Get an online ticket and try to book 1 day prior to get a discounded tickets 2) Go early at opening time to have most of the parks covered 3) Start your journey with the indoor activities at day time and the outdoors when the heat cools down 4) Buy a refill Mug or 2 since this will cut down the costs.

I visited LEGOLAND Dubai with my family (Wife 5 years son and 10 months Daughter) and we all had an absolutely amazing time! The park is perfect for young kids- everything is colourful, creative and designed to spark imagination. My son especially loved driving school, the mini roller coaster and the interactive Lego building area. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well- organised. There were plenty of shaded spots and water play area, which made it comfortable even on a warm day. The mini LEGO versions of famous landmarks in MINILAND were impressive for both kids and adults. We spent almost the entire day exploring, and my son didn’t want to leave! It’s a wonderful place for families with younger children- educational, fun and full of excitement. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai with Kids!

Had a fantastic family weekend away to celebrate our son's 5th birthday. The pool was closed but the hotel gave us access to 2 parks as compensation and we had two wonderful days at legoland Park and the waterpark. In the morning and evening time the children loved the activities provided in the fun zone and the creative workshop. Special mention to Habib in the fun zone who was so patient and helpful with my boys during the car make and race activity. Other shout outs include Ramana aswell as Sandy, Solomon and Emem. They kept our kids entertained for the rise and shine and duplo steam. Stayed in the fully themed pirate room which our boys oved. I would recommend getting to breakfast earlier rather than later as it gets very busy. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

LEGOLAND Dubai is an absolutely fantastic place — full of fun, color, and creativity! Everything is built around the magic of LEGO, making it perfect for families with kids. The park is clean, well-organized, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. There are so many great rides, shows, and interactive areas where children can build, explore, and play safely. The LEGO City, Miniland, and Dragon Coaster are must-try attractions. Even adults will love the creativity and attention to detail everywhere you look. Food options are nice, and there are plenty of shaded areas to relax between rides. The entire experience is joyful from start to finish — a 5-star adventure that both kids and parents will remember! 🌈✨

This review is for the WATERPARK of Legoland: The entry fee is very expensive for what you get. We’ve been there several times and there’s always some slides closed. The food is terrible. It’s only fast food and it tastes if it was all fried in old oil. Some staff is nice but some can’t even smile which is a shame in a kids place. The areas for little ones are not great, not so much do do. The build a boat station was nice though and some slides are quite fun. But all in all that’s the least good waterpark around Dubai.

Legoland Dubai is a perfect place for families and kids every corner is full of creativity and happiness. The rides are safe, well-managed, and ideal for younger children. Absolutely magical stay!

An amazing place for children and adults alike. Ample parking. They have buggies to ferry you from main entrance to multiple gates. Couple of rides weren't working, but mostly are. Some rides open after 2 or 3 pm. Though it started filling up by 2 pm, wait time for rides didn't exceed 15 minutes anywhere. Madagascar ride was most thrilling. Bullet train was equally chilling, but outdoors, so you atleast can see what you're getting into. If you reach by 1 PM, you can cover 80% by 6PM. Lunch was at Mr. Ping's noodle shop. Great food!

Such an unforgettable Halloween experience at Motiongate Dubai! 🎃👻 We visited with the whole family and absolutely loved it — from the spooky decorations and live shows to the fun “Smurfoween” area for kids.

The train ride is free from riverland to motiongate , however while exiting the park you need to pay for the train ride, No other mode of transportation available. It is built beautifully , however , the staff seems to lack any motivation to run the place. You pay full price on a weekday, however no shows are available. Two rollercoasters were closed And one broke down ! Avoid Mondays and Tuesdays, if at all you decide to go. Infants height was checked before every ride , the height and is of inferior quality and is meant for adults , if it comes out or gets wet ok the infants hand , you need to get either a new band or get the height checked before every rude. No directions or clarity on type of ride. Physical maps were not available. The map itself is not clear. They really had to put in great effort to make such a nice place be such a horrible experience. Nanny passes were refused with entertainer passes. However , no such condition was mentioned.

Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital

Mentioned on 
+45 other lists 
Animal hospital
Sights & Landmarks
Located on Sweihan Road in Al Shamkhah, Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital is the world's largest hospital dedicated solely to falcons. Established in 1999 by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi, it offers comprehensive veterinary care services exclusively for these majestic birds. The hospital aims to preserve and protect the health of falcons in the UAE while promoting research and conservation efforts.
Absolutely worth the extra effort to get there. We were the only guests on this tour of a working falcon hospital. The doctors clearly want to share their love of these birds. This is not a tourist trap we spent about 1 1/2 hours on the tour and were able to hold them, and feed the falcons. We came home with a real experience and as many photos as you want to take. There is a small museum of falcon culture, accoutrements, and history. The facility also cares for a limited number of other birds of prey such as owls. Do allow extra time as the taxi driver missed the exit, but the facility has to be far away from power lines to protect the birds in flight.

This was a really cool experience! I wasn’t very familiar with falcons and the connection between UAE and these beautiful birds. Well, let me tell you, after spending 90 min with the staff during their tour, I walked out of there with so much respect and information, memories and things I’ve learned I will never forget! Please go check it out! What a great way to support a great organization that helps and supports so many animals in need! Absolutely beautiful! Totally worth it! Ask for Hassan being your guide!!

This was a highlight of my trip to Ani Dhabi. It's incredible to see close and personal these amazing birds and much more. The tour is fantastic and you'll be able to see what's going on behind the close doors - literally. Everyone was soooo friendly and willing to explain procedures and answer our questions. What a spectacular facility and very, very unique experience. Besides holding and patting the birds, I was able to feed one as well. What a great memories I'll have. Highly highly recommend visiting this place, besides the falcons you'll enjoy the free roaming peacocks as well ;)

While it may be a bit difficult getting to this attraction with all the road construction in the area, and detours...just allow yourself a little extra time to arrive. The tour of the hospital was really amazing, fun, and informative. It is good for all ages. Seeing these amazing creatures being cared for was insightful. The tour took us about 90 minutes and included an introduction, a chance to see the falcons in the clinic, time to hold a falcon on your gloved arm for a photo, and a visit to see them in an aviary.

I have to say that this place was by far my favourite during my trip to Abu Dhabi! I am big on animal rescue and so I just had to see how falcons are cared for in this country. It’s safe to say that they’re in great hands and the facility here is top notch! We signed up for the tour around the hospital and since we visited during a weekday, it was just us and so it was basically a private tour which was awesome. Our tour guide was the best and he was super funny. We had the best time with him and he definitely made us feel welcomed! We were able to see them do a routine procedure as well as hold the falcon ourselves. They even let us feed one of them which was such a memorable experience! Definitely a must visit!

Disheartening Experience with My Cat at Falcon Hospital Abu Dhabi❤️‍🩹 I recently took my cat, Costica, to the Falcon Hospital Abu Dhabi for boarding, and it turned out to be a nightmare. I entrusted them with simple tasks—nail trimming and ear cleaning—but somehow, during these seemingly minor procedures, my cat had a heart attack and tragically passed away. I’m heartbroken and completely baffled by how such small, routine actions could cause this level of stress and result in DEATH. Costica was a healthy cat when I brought him in, and I never expected something so devastating from what should have been a straightforward service. How can a place that is supposed to specialize in animal care allow such extreme stress to be placed on an animal? It’s hard to comprehend how this was even possible. The experience has left me questioning the hospital’s methods and their ability to handle sensitive animals. It was extremely painful to see my cat in distress, and even more so to know it could have been avoided. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for other pet owners.

When I told them I found 2 days old cat they rejected to receive it and provide necessary medication but if I lied and told them this my new born cat and I need to deliver it because of relocation they would accept my request. The cat was found helpless and I don't know how to take care of it so I decided to bring it to them but they shocked me when they said this not acceptable....the Philippino lady at counter and she said return it back to street her mother will come back to it however I explained it was found in cabbage drum under dirty bags and I rescued it .

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi – A Thrilling Day in the Fast Lane 🏎️✨ If you’re planning a trip to Abu Dhabi and love speed, adventure, and world-class experiences, Ferrari World absolutely deserves a spot on your itinerary. Located on Yas Island, this indoor theme park is a celebration of the legendary Ferrari brand — from high-octane rides to immersive simulators that make you feel like a Formula 1 driver. From the moment you step inside, everything is incredibly well-organized. The staff are friendly, professional, and always happy to help, which makes the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Tickets & Tips I’d highly recommend the 5 Rides + 1 Ferrari Photo package for around 250 AED. It’s great value and gives you plenty of time to explore the park without rushing. Your ticket also includes access to the driving simulators — an absolute must-try! They provide an unbelievably realistic feel of Ferrari car handling, letting you experience the thrill of the track in total safety. The Rides Ferrari World is home to some of the fastest and most creative roller coasters in the world, and each one is designed to push your adrenaline to new limits. Unfortunately, the park’s longest coaster is currently closed for an indefinite period, but there are still plenty of other attractions that more than make up for it. One thing I appreciated was how well-equipped each ride area is — you’ll find secure storage spaces for your belongings before boarding, so you can enjoy the experience worry-free. Final Thoughts Whether you’re a motorsport enthusiast or just looking for an unforgettable day out, Ferrari World delivers in every way. It combines Italian passion, precision engineering, and pure fun under one iconic red roof. A definite tick on the bucket list — and one I’d happily check off again! 🇮🇹🏁

We recently visited Ferrari World Abu Dhabi to celebrate my son’s birthday, and the experience was memorable. Special thanks to Jasim and Madani, who went out of their way to make the day extra special. They surprised my son with thoughtful gifts like Ferrari car keychains, which made him really happy. Their effort and hospitality truly stood out, and overall the staff across the park were very welcoming and supportive. For the rides, my wife and I had a fantastic time on Formula Rossa and Flying Aces — both absolutely thrilling and must-try experiences for adults. The park is clean, well-managed, and has a great atmosphere that adds to the excitement. That said, I do want to share one observation. My son is 99 cm tall, and unfortunately, he only qualified for 2 rides out of more than 25. Despite this, we had to pay AED 305 for his entry. This feels quite expensive and a bit unfair. A height-based pricing model — similar to IMG Worlds — would make much more sense than age-based pricing. For families with young children, the current system feels unjustified. Overall, we had a very good experience, especially thanks to the staff and the amazing rides. But I strongly hope Ferrari World reviews its pricing policy to make it fairer for families with smaller kids.

This was fabulous, well worth a visit! The worlds fastest coaster and you can feel it, plus several others that live up to the brand. I couldn't believe how quickly we managed to get on each ride! Super friendly staff too. Mind blown 🤯🏁🏁🏁

Ferrari World is a great spot if you’re into cars, especially if you love Ferraris or have even a little interest in automotive engineering. The main highlight is the fastest roller coaster, which really lives up to the hype. Just be prepared for a long wait because the queue moves slowly, and you can easily spend hours waiting for a ride that lasts under two minutes. One thing to note is that the seats on the major rides aren’t very accommodating for bigger body types, which can be disappointing if you find out at the last minute that the harness doesn’t fit. Overall, the park is exciting and well themed, but it’s good to go in with the right expectations.

Visited Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and it was a fantastic experience overall! The world’s fastest roller coaster is truly something else absolutely thrilling! The Flying Aces ride was also top-notch and easily one of the best I’ve tried. Unfortunately, the Mission Ferrari ride was closed that day, but there were still plenty of great attractions to enjoy. The entire park being indoors was a big plus comfortably cool inside while it’s scorching hot outside. The roof-top walk was another highlight with stunning views over Yas Island and perfect photo spots. Special mention to the staff from Kyrgyzstan at the Ferrari Store his service was exceptional, friendly, and truly memorable. Now, a few downsides: some rides were temporarily closed for maintenance during our visit, which was a bit of a bummer. Also, a few of the rides and games didn’t quite fit the Ferrari theme could’ve been tied together a bit better. Still, it’s definitely a must visit place especially for thrill seekers and Ferrari fans alike!

We went to celebrate our son’s birthday, and wow — what an unforgettable day! 🎉 The whole experience was packed with fun, excitement, and surprises from start to finish. The staff were friendly and made us feel special, especially knowing it was a birthday celebration. Even though we skipped the extreme rides, there was still so much to enjoy — from the family-friendly attractions and interactive games to the amazing Ferrari-themed shows and displays. 🏎️✨ The park is spotless, well-organized, and perfect for families. Our son had the best time ever — he couldn’t stop smiling! 🥳 It was the perfect place to celebrate, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi with kids or looking for a unique family adventure! ❤️

Ferrari World is one of the best theme parks in the UAE, especially if you love speed and adrenaline. Formula Rossa and Flying Aces are incredible rides and worth the hype. The park is fully indoor, so it’s perfect any time of the year. The only downsides are high ticket prices and long queues on weekends. Still, the experience is absolutely worth it.

Attended the F1 race at Yas Marina Circuit, and it was an absolutely unreal experience! The atmosphere was electric, with fans from all over the world cheering and enjoying the race. The track itself is stunning, especially at night when the lights reflect off the water, definitely one of the most beautiful circuits in F1. The organization was great, with clear signs and helpful staff guiding people to their seats. The grandstands had an amazing view of the track, and the giant screens made sure we didn’t miss any action. The sound of the cars flying past was insane! There were plenty of food stalls with a good variety of options, though some were a bit pricey (expected at an F1 event). The toilets were clean and well-maintained, which was a big plus considering the massive crowd. One of the best parts was the post race entertainment! The concerts and fireworks made the experience even better. If you’re an F1 fan, Yas Marina Circuit is a must visit. The vibe, the track, and the overall experience are something you’ll never forget!

Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi is absolutely incredible! I had the chance to attend an F1 race here a while back, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The thrill of the races, the electric atmosphere, and the world-class facilities made it truly spectacular. After the race, there was a concert at night which added even more excitement to the day — such a great mix of motorsport and entertainment! The food options around the venue and also the freely available buffet at the East wing lounge was excellent, with plenty of variety and great quality. To top it all off, we even tried go-karting on-site, which was so much fun and made the visit even more memorable. Whether you're a motorsport fan or just looking for an exciting day out, Yas Marina Circuit delivers on every level. Highly recommended!

**Yas Marina Circuit Tour – Abu Dhabi** If you’re a fan of the Grand Prix, fast cars, or racing in general, this is *the* place to be. During the tour, I realised that many visitors were true enthusiasts who had been following the sport for 10–20 years and even travelled around the world to attend races. And then there was me—someone who had absolutely no clue—but I still left feeling well-educated and completely fascinated! It’s an amazing experience to learn about everything that goes on behind the scenes. They show you the school where they build models of the cars, the racing garages, the camera control rooms where the races are monitored, and even the team’s living quarters—you actually get to see what these cottages look like from the inside. A mind-blowing experience overall. **Definitely a must-visit!**

The park features exhilarating water slides, family-friendly rides, and entertainment options. Inspired by Emirati culture and history, the park spans over 15 hectares with more than 40 rides and slides. Visitors can enjoy activities such as surfing at Bubbles Barrel, experiencing the Dawwama tornado water coaster, or taking part in the Water Wars.
Yas Waterworld is hands down one of the best water parks I’ve ever visited! I’ve been there multiple times, from school trips to fun hangouts with friends and every visit has been an absolute blast. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with pure excitement and energy. The park is massive, beautifully designed, and exceptionally clean. There’s truly something for everyone — heart-pounding slides for thrill seekers, relaxing pools for those who just want to unwind, and fun, safe play areas for kids. Some of the rides are so unique and creative that you won’t find anything like them anywhere else! The staff are always friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful, which makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.

SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is an absolutely amazing destination and a must-visit for anyone traveling to the UAE. The entire park is beautifully designed, offering a perfect mix of entertainment, education, and marine wonder. From the moment you enter, you’re surrounded by fascinating exhibits and interactive experiences that bring the ocean to life. The penguin section is a definite highlight — it’s incredibly fun to see these adorable creatures up close. Just be prepared, it’s freezing inside! The icy temperature makes the experience feel authentic and adds to the charm. Another standout feature is the dolphin show, which is truly mesmerizing. The dolphins perform with such elegance and intelligence that you can’t help but be amazed. However, the show only takes place at 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, so plan your visit carefully to avoid missing it. Don’t skip the “Ride Under the Sea” — it’s an exciting and immersive journey that gives you the feeling of exploring the ocean depths. Overall, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi offers something special for everyone — families, couples, and adventure seekers alike. It’s an unforgettable experience and one of the top attractions you shouldn’t miss when visiting Abu Dhabi.

Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is an absolutely fantastic waterpark, and even though I’ve visited bigger waterparks around the world, this one still deserves a full 5-star rating for its overall experience, organization, and the noticeable improvements they continue to make year after year. What makes it stand out isn’t size — it’s how clean, smooth, and well-managed everything is from the moment you walk in. One of the first things I noticed is how updated and refreshed the park looks. Many areas have clearly been upgraded — brighter colours, cleaner pools, improved shading, and more comfortable seating zones for relaxing. The slides feel well-maintained, the water temperature is perfect, and the entire park looks polished and taken care of. Even the small details, like locker efficiency and staff coordination, show how much effort the team puts into giving guests a seamless experience.The variety of rides is excellent. Whether you enjoy high-adrenaline slides or more relaxing attractions, there’s something for everyone. Dawwama, the giant tornado slide, remains a must-try — the drop, the spin, and the funnel are always exciting. The Bandit Bomber roller-coaster-style ride feels smoother compared to before and gives amazing views of the whole park. Family raft rides, the wave pool, body slides, tube slides, and the lazy river are all very well maintained and enjoyable. Even during busy times, the lines move quickly thanks to good organization by the staff.The kids’ areas look upgraded too, with brighter paint, fresh water features, and softer safety flooring. It’s a great place for families, and the lifeguards are alert and professional everywhere, making the environment feel very safe. One thing I really appreciate is the cleanliness of the entire park. From the pools to the pathways to the dining areas, everything is consistently spotless. The food options have also improved — better menus, more shaded seating, and faster service. Whether you want something quick or a full meal, the options are convenient and reasonably priced for a theme park. Customer service deserves a special mention. Staff are friendly, patient, and helpful. They guide guests clearly, manage lines well, and maintain a positive atmosphere throughout the park. Even simple things like setting up life jackets, giving directions, or helping with lockers are handled with professionalism and kindness. Because the park is fully outdoors, the improved shading and cooling areas make a big difference, especially on hotter days. There are more places to relax, refill water, and take breaks between rides. Everything is designed to make the day comfortable from start to finish. Location-wise, being on Yas Island is perfect — easy parking, clean surroundings, and the option to combine the day with other attractions like Warner Bros. World or Ferrari World. Overall, Yas Waterworld might not be the biggest waterpark I’ve ever visited, but it is definitely one of the most enjoyable and well-run. The upgrades, cleanliness, friendly staff, and ride quality make it a top choice for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. A full day here feels refreshing, fun, and genuinely worthwhile. Highly recommended for families, tourists, groups of friends, and anyone looking for a great day out.

Yas Waterworld is an absolutely fantastic place to spend a full day of fun and excitement! The park is very clean, well organized, and offers a wide variety of rides for all ages — from thrilling slides to relaxing lazy rivers. The atmosphere is lively but never feels overcrowded, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the park.

For families and kids, there are many gentle attractions and splash zones, like Marah Fortress and Yadi Yas. The Amwaj Wave Pool is perfect for chilling and catching some sun between rides. Lockers, showers, and changing rooms are easily accessible and well maintained. Food options are quite good — you can find everything from fast food to ice cream and refreshing drinks. The park also provides free life jackets and plenty of shaded areas, which is a big plus in the Abu Dhabi heat. Overall, Yas Waterworld is one of the best water parks in the UAE. It’s exciting, safe, and beautifully designed. Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, it guarantees a day full of joy and memories. Highly recommended!

Yas Waterworld is a fun and well-kept water park with plenty of slides for all levels. The big rides are exciting and the park is spacious enough that lines don’t feel too long. It’s very family-friendly, but still enjoyable for adults. One downside: the ground can get extremely hot and even the special shoes don’t fully protect your feet, so be careful walking around. Overall, it’s a great way to beat the UAE heat, just come prepared.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a stunning architectural marvel located in Abu Dhabi. It boasts 82 white domes of various sizes, making it one of the largest mosques globally. The mosque, constructed between 1996 and 2007, is made of white marble and features four minarets that stand over 100 meters tall.
Step into a world of awe at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where pristine white marble, colossal columns, and shimmering chandeliers evoke pure tranquility. Begin at the underground mall, which offers both shopping and a quiet moment before your visit. For a unique approach, follow the pedestrian tunnel under the main road to the mosque entrance (a surprisingly modern intro to such a classical monument!). Once inside, marvel at the intricate floral mosaics and gold-tipped domes; even on a sunny day, the cool interiors and soft natural light are serene. Did you know the main prayer hall hosts one of the world’s largest hand-knotted carpets? Also, its chandelier—crafted in Germany—features Swarovski crystals; both are exquisite yet little known outside guidebooks! Must-do: Wander through the reflective pools at the mosque’s perimeter—catch the sunlight glimmering across the arches for an insta-worthy shot with nature and architecture in perfect harmony. Indoors, the “forest” of columns laced with amethyst and jasper makes for an iconic photo, while the main hall offers endless patterns for architectural close-ups. Tips: Dress respectfully—borrowed abayas and kanduras are available on site. Visit early to avoid crowds, especially before the afternoon prayer on Fridays when access may be limited. Watch for sudden weather: The transition between sunny and rainy can be striking against the mosque’s bright silhouette.

Every visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque feels extraordinary. No matter how many times I’ve been, walking through the grounds still feels almost unreal, the stillness, the scale, the craftsmanship and detail in every direction. It’s one of those places that completely slows you down and leaves you in awe. A tip for first-timers: it’s absolutely worth paying for the proper Abaya attire from the mall before entering. It makes the experience smoother and more comfortable. And definitely bring a selfie stand/tripod, it’s incredibly useful if you’re solo, as a couple, or with family, especially given how many stunning angles there are throughout the mosque. Finally, most importantly, please register on the website beforehand. Truly a must-visit in the UAE, and a place that’s unforgettable every single time.

This is an absolutely visually stunning mosque on the grandest scale, accessing the mosque is a hike in itself. It's a fair old walk from the parking lot, through part of a shopping mall, then an underground corridor with moving walkways and escalators. We were very fortunate to visit late afternoon and see the mosque change as the sunset. The amount of white marble used here and the ornate detail is mind-blowing! The atmosphere inside is calming and peaceful, the prayer room carpet is apparently made in one piece! I was told 41,000 people can pray at any one time! Allow a couple of hours for your visit, I hope you can be as lucky as we were regarding the timing of your visit!

History Museums
Louvre Abu Dhabi is an innovative museum located in the United Arab Emirates capital, surrounded by water and featuring a diverse collection of ancient to modern art pieces. Visitors can enjoy kayaking and relax at the on-site cafe. The museum, designed by Jean Nouvel, opened at the end of 2017 and has since become a cultural hotspot in Abu Dhabi.
Very beautiful museum and one of the highlights of Abu Dhabi. Opened in November 2017, it is the first museum of its kind in the Arab world, created through a cultural partnership between France and the UAE. Its mission is to showcase the shared story of human creativity across civilizations, highlighting how cultures have always interacted, connected, and influenced one another. Designed by the renowned architect Jean Nouvel, the museum is famous for its spectacular silver dome, inspired by the traditional Arabian mashrabiyya. The dome weighs around 7,500 tons and Its intricate geometric pattern creates a stunning “rain of light” effect as sunlight filters through the lattice. The building appears to float on water, blending modern engineering with cultural symbolism. Louvre Abu Dhabi departs from the traditional separation of cultures. Instead, it presents world history through themes, displaying pieces from different civilizations side-by-side to highlight shared human experiences. Examples: - Ancient Egyptian statues next to early Greek artworks. - Chinese ceramics displayed with Middle Eastern pottery. - Religious manuscripts from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism shown together. The museum features: - Permanent galleries with artworks spanning thousands of years, from prehistoric tools to modern masterpieces. - Rotating international exhibitions in collaboration with French museums, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Centre Pompidou, and others. - Over 600 permanent artworks, supplemented by hundreds of loans from French institutions. It was overall a very nice, entertaining and educational time spent here.

Absolutely splendid, the journey was beyond my expectations. We start with the tickets. Very affordable, you can get a discount simply by being a UAE resident. You still have the Fazaa discount as well. The museum itself is a piece of art, the architechture is mind-blowing, you could admire it for hours. I know that Louvre love to make wonderful architectures for their museums, with the one in Paris that i visited few yeras back, but this one in AUH is really eye-catching. The galleries were fascinating, from prehistoric stones, to the modern arts i really enjoyed it. To all art enthusiasts, i would really recommend to check it out, you will not forget that experience.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary place that combines art, culture, and architecture in an absolutely stunning way. The building itself, designed by Jean Nouvel, is truly impressive – its distinctive dome creates a magical interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of a "rain of light." The museum's interior houses an impressive collection of art from around the world – from antiquity to the present – beautifully juxtaposed to showcase humanity's shared heritage. The service and organization are top-notch, and the atmosphere fosters reflection and wonder. This is not just a museum, but a true journey through the history of art and cultures.

Louvre Abu Dhabi is truly a masterpiece of art, culture, and architecture. 🌟 Set on Saadiyat Island, it stands as a symbol of creativity and unity, bringing together masterpieces from around the world under one stunning dome of light. The museum’s breathtaking design by Jean Nouvel perfectly blends modern innovation with traditional Arabic inspiration, creating a serene atmosphere that feels both timeless and futuristic. Inside, every gallery tells a story — from ancient civilizations to contemporary art — celebrating the shared human experience through beauty and knowledge. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious, Louvre Abu Dhabi offers an unforgettable journey through history, culture, and imagination.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience at the Louvre Abu Dhabi! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive — my mom wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t walk for long, and they immediately offered a wheelchair without us even asking. It made such a difference and allowed us to enjoy the museum comfortably and see all the beautiful collections. I also loved that the museum has its own app — you can listen for free to detailed stories and history about the main artifacts, and it’s available in multiple languages. Super informative and helpful! Definitely worth visiting again. Beautiful place, amazing service, and a very thoughtful experience overall! There is Fazaa card discount so you can get the tickets at the same time!

It is a beautiful museum and much larger that I thought. I was impressed that they managed to do thematic themes and chronological themes at the same time. Normally I only prefer an chronological exhibition. I also like that the museum has borrow objects from French museum and museums in the Golf and the Middle East to supplement their own collection. The museum consists of a beautiful roof and many buildings underneath the roof - so it does not feel so warm even when it is a 40⁹ day. There is a nice museum shop, a cafe, a restaurant and some places to have a coffee or a soda. And there is also a sea turtle sanctuary at the museum area. I spent two hours at the museum.

Great museum with lots of exhibitions. We enjoyed the displays while we enjoyed the cool air conditions on a somewhat hot day. The museum has the infrastructure to take pictures if that is something you would enjoy. We spent about two hours and was enough to walk all the displays.

Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Located near Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Heritage Village is a reconstructed Arab village run by the Emirates Heritage Club. It offers visitors a glimpse into traditional Emirati culture and lifestyle before the discovery of oil in the region. The village showcases the Bedouin way of life with traditional tents, coffee, and displays of the Falaj irrigation system used for palm grove irrigation. With regular events and exhibitions, it's a popular destination for those interested in experiencing authentic Emirati heritage.
Despite the July heat, I loved walking around this place. The indoor exhibitions are excellent, offering great insight into Emirati history, traditions, and culture. We were warmly welcomed by two Emirati women in traditional dresses who offered us delicious tea, coffee, and dates grown in the heritage village's garden. An African woman, who was also working there, was incredibly patient and educated, answering all our questions about Emirati traditions in English. This place is a must-visit, especially since entry is free.

Abu Dhabi’s Heritage Village is one of the wonderful place to step back in time and experience traditional Emirati culture. The reconstructed village, live craft demonstrations, and small museum give a genuine feel of the UAE’s history. It’s peaceful, educational, and beautifully located by the water. A great stop for families, tourists, and anyone wanting a glimpse of Abu Dhabi’s heritage.

Visited Marina Mall and really liked the ceiling lighting as it gives a nice ambiance. The tinted glass elevator was a highlight, offering a scenic ride with views. However, parking was a bit inconvenient as I had to park outside in the sun; couldn’t find any basement parking. The mall felt quiet and spacious, but food court options were limited or hard to locate. Overall, a decent place for relaxed shopping and a quick visit, but could use some upgrades in amenities and signage.

Marina Mall Abu Dhabi is one of the city’s most iconic shopping destinations, offering a spacious and enjoyable environment for families, shoppers, and visitors. The moment you enter the mall, you notice its wide walkways, bright lighting, and beautifully maintained interior, which together create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Unlike some of the newer malls that feel crowded or overwhelming, Marina Mall has a calm, open layout that makes strolling through the shops a pleasant experience. The mall offers a balanced mix of international brands, local stores, electronics, fashion outlets, perfumes, sportswear, and accessories. While it may not have as many luxury stores as some other malls in Abu Dhabi, its range is perfect for everyday shopping and casual browsing. The hypermarket inside also provides convenient access to groceries and essentials. One of the standout features of Marina Mall is its stunning waterfront location. The view outside, especially near the fountain area, gives the mall a unique charm that many other shopping centers don’t have. The dining options are also quite good, with a variety of restaurants and cafés suitable for families, solo diners, or casual meetups. The mall is well-maintained, clean, and generally easy to navigate. Parking is usually available and free, which is a huge advantage in Abu Dhabi. Although the mall is older compared to some new developments, it still maintains a warm, welcoming feel and remains a reliable place for shopping, dining, and spending leisure time. Overall, Marina Mall Abu Dhabi is a comfortable and enjoyable destination that continues to serve residents and visitors well.

Huma M — Google review
I’ve been a constant shopper at Marina Mall for nearly 25 years, and it’s been amazing to watch how much it has evolved over time. From the old days when Centerpoint was still here (now replaced by Pan Home) to the many new stores opening, the mall has definitely grown with the city. You can really feel how the space has expanded, refreshed, and modernized while still keeping its calm, relaxed atmosphere. The food court has improved so much compared to the older one that was once attached to Fun City. Now there’s a wider variety of dining options — from quick bites to sit-down restaurants — and the seating area is brighter and more comfortable. There are also plenty of cafés scattered around the mall where you can relax, work, or meet friends.Shopping options are great: a mix of popular brands, home décor stores, fashion, beauty, electronics, and kid-friendly shops. The luxury section still adds that high-end touch with elegant boutiques and a quieter ambience. Families will appreciate the play area, attractions, and open walking spaces — it’s easy to spend a few hours here without feeling crowded. The mall continues adding new stores, so every visit feels a little different. Location-wise, Marina Mall is unbeatable — right across the Corniche, with beautiful views, and it has plenty of parking, which makes every visit stress-free.

Many shops aren't open yet or are undergoing renovations. Brands like Sephora have set up stands in the center because their stores are under construction. The mall has a limited selection of stores and is expensive. I think its best feature is the restrooms. They're clean and have no lines. Inside and outside mega parking place is free

Lounge
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled on the 74th floor of the iconic Etihad Towers, the Observation Deck at 300 offers an unparalleled experience for visitors seeking breathtaking views of Abu Dhabi. Standing at a remarkable height of 300 meters, this observation point provides a stunning 360-degree panorama that encompasses the city's skyline, the picturesque Corniche, and the shimmering Arabian Gulf. It's not just about the views; guests can indulge in a delightful afternoon tea while soaking in the luxurious atmosphere.
The third must-see place in Abu Dhabi. If the weather is nice, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately, it wasn't as nice for me. Pollution takes its toll here. It's a shame you can't go outside. At the top, you can grab a coffee and a snack. Overall, I recommend it.

A nice spot for tourists. The Observation Deck is at a height of 300 metres , on the 74th Floor of Etihad Towers ( Tower 2 which houses many residential apartments too). It is a circular doughnut shaped glazed Lounge with the elevators in the centre, providing a 360 degree breathtaking views of the islands of this beautiful city of Abu Dhabi Emirate. Ample seating arrangements exist with a small cafeteria counter. You can spend about an hour or more easily. Fee is 50 AED per head and free for kids below 12. Free Valet parking is available. Avail the free briefing about this building from the Receptionist at the ground floor before going up in the lift. If you go in the evenings, can enjoy watching the setting sun in the ocean. Children would love the experience.

An agreeable locale for sightseers. The Observation Deck is perched at an altitude of 300 meters, on the 74th Floor of Etihad Towers (Tower 2, which also accommodates numerous residential dwellings). It's a circular, doughnut-formed, glass-enclosed Lounge with the elevators centrally located, affording panoramic, awe-inspiring vistas of the isles of this gorgeous city within the Abu Dhabi Emirate. Plentiful seating options are present, along with a compact refreshment stand. One could readily while away an hour or longer. The admission charge is 50 AED per person and complimentary for children under 12. Complimentary valet parking is offered. Take advantage of the complimentary introduction concerning this edifice from the Receptionist on the ground floor prior to ascending in the elevator. If visiting in the late afternoon, one can relish observing the sun setting into the sea. The experience will captivate youngsters.

Very nice ambience. The receptionist in observatory is very professional and she explain everything to us. We will comeback for sure. Because we went there late and it's dark outside we didn't see much view. The staff is very friendly, professional and accomodating. Especial thanks to Ms. Aida for accomodating us. Such a professional staff and she's always smiling too. What a great experience. I'll give five star for this.

🌟 A Must-Visit Gem in Abu Dhabi! 🌟 The Observation Deck at 300 is absolutely breathtaking! The panoramic view from the top is nothing short of spectacular — you can see the entire Abu Dhabi skyline, the sparkling coastline, and even the Emirates Palace from a whole new perspective. It’s the perfect spot for stunning photos and unforgettable memories. What truly made the experience stand out was the staff. From the entrance downstairs to the team up at the deck, everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. Their warm hospitality made the visit feel even more special. The only downside? The café prices are definitely on the higher side — a bit more than expected, even for such a premium location. Still, sipping a coffee while overlooking the city is a unique experience that might just be worth the splurge. All in all, an unforgettable visit. Highly recommended for first-timers and locals alike! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆

Very disappointing experience at Observation Deck 300, Conrad Etihad Towers I had a very disappointing experience at the Observation Deck 300. I called around 3:00 PM to ask if I needed to make a reservation, and the person on the phone told me it’s a walk-in venue, not busy, and that no booking was needed. They never mentioned that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. I arrived around 4:00 PM, planning to spend about an hour and a half enjoying the view with my guest who came from outside Abu Dhabi especially for this visit. However, when I arrived, the lady at the reception said there were no available tables and that I could only go up to see the view without being seated. After I explained that I had called in advance and that a proper table was important for the experience, she said she would check and offered me a table near the TV — not by the window and definitely not with a view. When I asked to see it, she only showed me a photo, and it was clearly unsuitable. I decided to skip dining and just visit the deck, but once I went up, I was surprised to see several empty tables available. The bigger disappointment, however, was the view itself — the glass was dirty and completely ruined the experience. Overall, from the reception to the deck, the experience was extremely disappointing and not worth the effort. It’s a shame because this place has great potential as a major tourist spot in Abu Dhabi, but poor management and lack of maintenance make it fall short. Definitely not an experience I would repeat or recommend. Attached some pictures.

You get a sweeping view of the city's skyline, the turquoise waters, and beyond. The space itself is elegant and peaceful, perfect for relaxing while soaking in the scenery. The service was fantastic, and the snacks and drinks added a lovely touch to the experience.

Great place! If I would do it once again, I would take some food for a picnic and stay there for the whole day. The beach is very good and even in winter you can swim there. The ground is also good, thus, you do not need special shoes. It is possible to come there using Google maps of course only with four wheel drive vehicle. There is a street without that much sand. Normally, all cars using this was to come back.

This is a nice LITTLE Aqua park. There isn’t much there. I paid a more discounted fee as there was an offer on the day we went. For young children it was a day of fun, but to be fair there’s not much there to do. The staff were very helpful, as I didn’t print my ticket, the took the booking number. There are 4 big water features and several pools. The main ones are the pirate area, the slide and the boat slide (how many times can you go on those before the novelty wares off). A water path, where you sit in an inflatable and travel around the path. There is also a swimming pool with a wave machine which, was on only twice in the 5 hrs we were there!! The pool was enjoyable and there are clean facilities. We did have a nice day, however it’s not a nice lace we’ll be running back to in a hurry. You cannot bring coolers into the park to have a picnic, we discovered this when we were leaving, when someone had theirs taken away.

التغدية الراجعة بالعربي في الأسفل In total Bad Experience: - Tickets are very expensive and does not include all areas. - Food is over priced (one resturant sell one burger 40 Riyals!!), cheese pizza price is ok 35 QAR. - The water is very cold in the kids pool while the adults pool is not that cold, not sure if they can Control the water temperature. - It is not very clean, when you pay 480 QAR for small family you expect to see something that more clean (please see some pictures). - It is not very green (less grass and no trees in some areas of the park), removing trees caused to show the white building that was hidden with the trees (please see the picture). - With the white building in the left side of the park; how can women's take off their clothes (we are muslims, and any one living in the building can take photos from the roof of the building!!) في المجمل تجربة سيئة: - التذاكر غالية جدا ولا تشمل جميع المناطق، هناك لعبة ب50 ريال غير مشمولة!!. - سعر الطعام أعلى مبالغ فيه (أحد المطاعم يبيع البرغر الواحد ب 40 ريال !!) ، سعر بيتزا الجبن لا بأس به 35 ريال قطري. - الماء بارد جدًا في بركة الأطفال على الرغم من أن بركة الكبار أقل برودة ، لست متأكداً مما إذا كان بإمكانهم التحكم في درجة حرارة الماء. - الحديقة ليست نظيفة بما فيه الكفاية ، عندما تدفع 480 ريالًا قطريًا لعائلة صغيرة ، تتوقع أن ترى شيئًا أكثر نظافة (يرجى الاطلاع على بعض الصور المرفقة للأرض). - ليست خضراء بما يكفي (العشب والأشجار غير موجودين في كل أماكن الحديقة).. إزالة الأشجار في طرف الحديقة الأيسر تسبب في إظهار المبنى الأبيض الذي كان مخبأ خلف الأشجار (يرجى الاطلاع على الصورة). - مع وجود المبنى الأبيض في الجانب الأيسر من الحديقة ؛ كيف يمكن للنساء خلع ملابسهن للعب في يوم النساء (نحن مسلمون ، وأي شخص يعيش في المبنى يمكنه التقاط صور من سطح المبنى أو من نافذة الدرج !!) حتى التغطية على الشبابيك يمكن تثبيت كاميرا عليها!!

Must visit place if you're a car guy! This place have a lot of things like fossils,stones,remains of old structures,ammunitions, attires,jewelry,sports etc. But the most interesting thing was the massive collection of cars.Not just cars,there are trucks,vans,and even a plane! The cars were of different brands including Porsche,Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Cadillac,Pontiac, Chevy,Dodge,Jeep,Willys,Mercedes, BMW,Audi,Subaru,Nissan,Toyota,Honda, and the list goes on and on. The museum is situated right behind the Leaning Minaret. They have some expansion works going on now,so probably much more collections will be available soon. Try to come in the morning or early in the afternoon,as it will take some time to explore all of it. Also,there's a farm and horse riding club nearby,which closes by 5pm.

Nestled within a private estate on the outskirts of Doha, the FBQ Museum offers a truly unique and enriching experience. This privately owned museum, established by Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, is a remarkable reflection of his personal passion for history, culture, and heritage. One of its most iconic features is a historic mosque with a leaning minaret located adjacent to the museum—an architectural curiosity that adds to the charm of the estate. The museum itself houses a diverse and thoughtfully curated collection spread across several halls. A highlight is the Qur’an section, which showcases exquisite handwritten manuscripts and rare copies, offering a spiritual and artistic journey through Islamic calligraphy and scriptural history. Another standout exhibit is the authentic Syrian house, meticulously transported from Damascus and reconstructed brick by brick inside the museum grounds. It offers a rare glimpse into traditional Damascene architecture and home life from over a century ago. The museum also features an impressive collection of vintage cars and trucks, tracing the evolution of automotive design and transport through the decades. A significant portion of the collection reflects the Sheikh’s deep appreciation for Moroccan culture, with numerous artifacts, crafts, and items sourced from Morocco on display. From intricately carved doors to traditional garments and ceramics, this section offers a vivid taste of North African heritage. Overall, the FBQ Museum is well worth an afternoon visit for families, culture lovers, and curious minds alike. It combines history, religion, architecture, and automotive passion all in one serene and beautifully maintained setting. • Entry ticket: 50 QAR • Children: Free entry • Location: Al Samriya Estate, ~30 minutes drive west of Doha • Facilities: Guided tours available, on-site café, and ample parking
