, which is the technocity of Dubai and hosts many technology giants such as Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Cisco, HP with the advantages such as tax exemption. strong> is also located near the marina area.

You can get to Dubai Marina by getting off at the Damac Properties stop of the metro or at the Dubai Marina stop of the tram.

Skydiving, an amazing activity for adrenaline enthusiasts, is very famous in Dubai.. Airplane jumps with the company Skydive Dubai are made in this region.. I was one of the parachutes that you will see as a point higher up when you raise your head, you can read my DUBAI SKYDIVE article about my adventure.

The world’s tallest twisted building, Cayan Tower

Now it’s time to leave the mainland and go to the famous palm-shaped island

Palm Jumeirah: The name of the palm-shaped island, one of the symbols of Dubai Also called Jumeirah Island (Jumeirah Island) or Palm Island (Palm Island). Even interestingly translated into Turkish as Palm Jumeira

Impressive image of Palm Jumeirah.. (Aerial taken during skydiving)

The island, which is connected to the mainland by a bridge and where settlement started in 2006, covers an area of ​​more than 800 football fields in total and doubles the length of Dubai’s coastline. made it out. Actually, if you look at the map of Dubai, you will see that there are two of the palm-shaped islands.. The other one is called Palm Jebel Ali and although it has taken its main form, it is still under construction.. So visiting Palm Jumeirah will suffice.

Even the island’s public transport system, where only the very wealthy reside and the very wealthy tourists stay in luxury hotels, is separate from the rest of Dubai and of course more expensive. Take the tram to the Palm Jumeirah stop and switch to the island-specific Palm Monorail. Your Nol card does not pass on this line and you buy separate tickets for 15 AED one way and 25 AED round trip (Taxi is more convenient if you are more than two people). The Palm Monorail line currently has two stops; Palm Gateway stop, where you will get off the tram and start your journey, and Atlantis Aquaventure stop, where you will go to the very tip of the island.. Explore your surroundings and marvel at the luxurious life here

Atlantis Hotel is located at the farthest point of Palm Island from the mainland.

Atlantis Hotel: Opened in 2008, the super-luxury hotel is located at the farthest end of Palm Island from the mainland. I think it’s a good idea to go to the Aquaventure Waterpark water park in the vicinity of Atlantis, The Palm and have fun with the ticket you buy and swim in the Persian Gulf on the private beach of the water park.. It would be appropriate to allocate at least 3-4 hours to Aquaventure Waterpark, or even more if you are going to use the beach.. I described the water park and the super fun day I spent there in the Dubai Activity Guide article, click here to review and book Atlantis The Palm hotel, which especially families with children will love.

Take a monorail line or a taxi. Let’s ride back to the mainland.

Mall of the Emirates

Mall of the Emirates: Inside the Emirates Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in Dubai, is the Middle East’s first indoor ski slope Ski Dubai. It’s interesting to see people skiing and boarding while it’s scorching outside, you can join them by buying a ticket.. There is also a game and entertainment area called Magic Planet.

I will not talk about the stores inside the mall and how many options there are.. You may have read or heard that Dubai is a shopper’s paradise and everything is cheap; but unfortunately this is no longer valid.. Since both the eyes of the men were opened and all prices were indexed to the dollar, they went crazy with the dollar.. Therefore, if you say that there is nothing cheap, but I would like to buy different things from stores that are not in Turkey, check the stores at this address and find where the ones that interest you and head towards the target.. Otherwise, you will get tired of just going from one extreme to the other and you will most likely not find what you are looking for.

If you get tired of the heat, you can switch to winter at Ski Dubai.

There is a large Carrefour downstairs in Emirates Mall. I bought breakfast items such as water, bread-cheese-tomatoes and chocolate dates that I would take as a gift to Turkey from here.. There is a wide variety and prices are reasonable.. Also, if you need to change money, don’t forget to stop by the exchange office, it can be difficult to find later.

You can reach Mall of the Emirates by getting off at the metro stop of the same name.. The shopping mall and its activity areas are open between 10:00 – 22:00 from Sunday to Wednesday and 10:00 – 00:00 from Thursday to Saturday.

Madinat Jumeirah Bazaar welcomes you with its beautiful architecture from the entrance.

Madinat Jumeirah: One of the famous bazaars in Dubai. As someone who lives in Istanbul and has seen the Grand Bazaar, I am not impressed by the bazaar itself, but it is a beautiful place as it is on the beach and sees the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, one of the icons of Dubai.. The bazaar is open between 10:00 – 23:00. Cafe-restaurants gathered on the beach side open from 12:00.. You can go to Madinat Jumeirah by bus number 88, which passes near the Mall of the Emirates.

Wild Wadi Water Park: This is like Aquaventure. a water park. If going to Aquaventure did not fit your plan or if you want to go to both, you can choose. It’s not like either one is much better than the other.

The famous sailboat-shaped hotel Burj Al Arab is from Madinat Jumeirah

Burj Al Arab (Arab Tower): The world’s first seven-star and most luxurious hotel in the shape of a sailboat, the symbol of modern Dubai. I wondered how much the nightgown was and looked at it; double room price starts around 8000 AED. You have to have a reservation for something to go inside, and the cheapest way is to have a drink or attend tea times.. 27 where it is mandatory to spend at least AED 350 per person. I have heard of the restaurant on the first floor, those who want to enter can examine it.. Taking pictures from afar was enough for me.

2. GROUP

I will try to gather the central part of Dubai, that is, the must-see places in the central region, in this group.

Business Bay region: As the name means Business Bay, a district full of skyscrapers with Dubai’s business centers. It’s not a place you should go and see; I wrote this part for informational purposes only.

Dubai Fountain: It was the biggest show-stopping fountain in the world. If you want, you can buy a boat tour for 65AED from where Burj Khalifa tickets are purchased and watch the show (it’s called The Dubai Fountain Lake Ride), but if you ask if it’s necessary, I think no

There is a noon show at 13:00 and 13:30 every day except Friday.. On Friday, it is held at 14:00 instead of 13:00.. It might be a better choice to go to the evening show; Show time every half hour from 18:00 to 23:00.

You should watch Dubai Fountain’s musical show.

The fountain’s musical show starts on time and lasts only 2 minutes. So if you want to watch it, it’s a good idea to book your place a few minutes in advance.. Loud music in the square, gushing waters, crowds of people everywhere, Dubai Mall on one side and Burj Khalifa building on the other side, which looks dazzling with its light, create a beautiful atmosphere; I think you should definitely watch the fountain show.

Burj Khalifa (Caliphate Tower – Burj Khalifa): Renowned as the tallest building in the world and rivaling other tall rivals With a height of 828 meters, the 164-floor Burj Khalifa can be seen from almost anywhere in Dubai, with a difference of more than 100 meters.. The building, which was started to be built in 2004, was 100 years old in 2007.. doubled and 150. made of steel after floor. It was completed in January 2009 with the addition of the slender tower at the top, and opened in 2010.

The 828-metre Burj Khalifa is really high, look at it. it doesn’t end

122. floor contains the world’s highest restaurant At.mosphere. If you have a high budget, you can choose this restaurant instead of going up to the building that I will talk about shortly and watching the view.. You can send an e-mail to find out the minimum price to be spent on reservation and per person.. I heard it’s around AED 400, but anyone can ask for the current price.

144. The world’s tallest nightclub on the 158th floor. 124. and 148. Tickets are sold to the viewing terraces on the floors. Open from 08:30 to 00:00.

Burj Khalifa’s 124. Dubai view from the ground floor..

Burj Khalifa 124. floor – At the Top: 452 meters high. Expensive clocks, sunset hours for the best view. Depending on the season, the ticket price between these hours is 200 AED, the rest of the time 125 AED. In fact, if you know the exact time of sunset, you can watch the sunset before you go out and watch it again when you go out (you are so high), it sounds pretty interesting

I’m a ticket to the 22:30 session I bought. They also built the world’s fastest elevator for the world’s tallest building and 124. the floor is reached in only 60 seconds. It even comes out so fast that I felt the pressure change in my ears.

After watching Dubai Fountain’s show on the floor, I also heard from Burj Khalifa follow.

Burj Khalifa 148. floor – At the Top SKY: 555 meters high. 125. There are extra things such as the opportunity to go down to the floor and watch from there, and beverage service.. Open from 09:00 on Friday and other days from 12:00 to 23:00. Ticket price is 350 AED for sunset hours and 500 AED other times. That’s a bit expensive for me so 124. The At the Top ticket to the floor was enough for me. I don’t think it’s that fascinating anyway, you have a limited budget and you think where to trim it, you may not go to Burj Khalifa.

Dubai Mall: This is it. it’s the biggest shopping mall in the world and even walking from one place to another is enough to make the soles throbbing, I can’t think of trying to find anything in it.. Open from 10:00 to 23:00.

Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping mall

Dubai Mall – The area with Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa is called Downtown Dubai (Dubai Center). You can easily arrive by getting off at the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall stop of the metro.. Click here to review and book hotels in Dubai city center.

Souk Al Bahar: Traditional food and goods bazaar. You can stop by while you wait or watch the Dubai Fountain show, it’s right there.

Emirates Towers: It consists of two skyscrapers with pitched roofs and was completed in 2000.. One of the towers is used as a hotel (309 meters high – 56 floors) and the other as a business center (355 meters high – 54 floors).. Because the ceilings of the business center are designed higher, the building is taller but has fewer floors. Knowing which buildings are and taking a picture of it from afar will be enough, I think you don’t need to go as far as it.

Emirates Towers

Jumeirah Mosque: Opens to visitors at 10:00 in the morning. Tours for 10 AED take 75 minutes. When I went, they said it was only possible to visit with a guided tour and I couldn’t go inside, but the mosque itself is beautiful.. Although there are buses in front of Dubai Mall, I recommend that you take a taxi if you are going to go because they do not pass right in front of it.. Or if your time is very limited, it can be one of the places to be eliminated.. Since Jumeirah Mosque is right in the historical area, which I will explain a little later, you can add it to a place in your trip in Bur Dubai if you want.

Jumeirah Mosque

It would be good to stay in one of these two areas that I have mentioned so far, I do not recommend the vicinity of Dubai Creek and Al Bastakiya, which I will mention below. align: justify;”>—

3. GROUP

Dubai Creek (Dubai Bay) and the bay, where Dubai shows its traditional face and can therefore be called the old town (historical city) section I will talk about the historical places and bazaars on both sides in this section.

We can generalize the area on the west side of Dubai Bay as Bur Dubai area. Now let’s have a look at the sights in this area.

Shopping malls are giving way to local small shops in the traditional area of ​​Dubai.

Al Bastakiya Historical Area: The lesser-known local side of Dubai begins to show itself as you pass through the skyscrapers on the subway and get off at the Al Fahidi stop of the green line.. Here, skyscrapers are now replaced by low-rise buildings and super-luxury shopping malls are replaced by local grocery stores and markets.. The people, on the other hand, are mostly Indian and Pakistani; European expat population in the center does not come here. Since the weather was very hot, I had always dressed comfortably according to my head until here, and most people around me were like me.. Here, the looks start to bother you.

You can visit the museums and art galleries around by walking around the historical area of ​​Al Bastakiya.

Al Bastakiya, which is a historical settlement, looks beautiful, you can wander around the museums and art galleries until you get hot.. There are interesting museums such as the Coin Museum, the Coffee Museum, and art galleries displaying works made by people with disabilities.

Al Fahidi Fort (Al Fahidi Fort): Built in 1787, it is the oldest building in Dubai. It can be reached on foot from the Al Bastakiya area.

The Dubai Museum with entrance 3 AED is here. It can be visited between 14:30 – 20:30 on Friday and 08:30 – 20:30 on other days.

Al Bastakiya You can find examples of street art around.

Grand Mosque: Only Muslims are allowed to enter the mosque, which has the highest minaret in the city.. So it’s only open for worship, not visitors.

Hindu Temple: The only Hindu temple in Dubai. It is not necessary to see it, but if you come to the Grand Mosque, you can see it because it is right next to it.

Textile Souk (Textile Bazaar): Various clothing items are in the first place It is a bazaar where you can find many things you are looking for, especially Al Fahidi Fortress and Dubai Museum for those who think that there is nothing historical in Dubai. they must be unaware

Walk from Al Fahidi Fort to Dubai Creek and arrive at Bur Dubai Station. Here, small boats called Abra cross over to the opposite side.. This affordable trip, which costs 1 AED, can be considered a touristic activity thanks to the different landscapes around.

Across the estuary with Abra, from the Bur Dubai area to the Deira area
