Al-Ain Zoo
Al-Ain Zoo, also called the “Al Ain Wildlife Park,” is a 400-hectare (990-acre)
zoo situated in the hills of Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain, near Abu Dhabi in the UAE. It
predominantly comprises ungulates and herbivores species such as Arabian
antelopes and oryx, eland, gazelle, lechwe, which can be seen in tree-shaded
paddocks providing opportunities for breeding, a large focus of this famous
landmark of the UAE.
The Al Ain Zoo is famous not only for its design and park-layout but also for
housing the rare white lion and unique Nubian giraffe. Established in 1985 by
the late Sheik Zayed (the founding father and the principal driving force
behind the formation of the United Arab Emirates), the Al Ain Zoo is a fun
family attraction offering entertainment and educational experiences in a
wonderful natural outdoor setting.
Being concerned all his life with the biodiversity and ecology of his homeland,
the late Sheik Zayed founded this unusual Middle East Zoo with the aim of
providing natural environments for animals to live peacefully.
Since its establishment, Al Ain Zoo has been a hub for the management and
conservation, especially the productive breeding of desert antelopes and
gazelles, such as the endangered Arabian Oryx. Currently, guests of all ages
can explore the wildlife of the zoo and enjoy a perfect day out filled with fun
and excitement, enjoying more than 4000 species.
The zoo is currently expanding with works on its boundaries to create new
sites such as the conservation and breeding center, the African Safari, the
World Desert Zoo, and the Sheik Zayed Desert Learning Centre.
This will ensure it remains up there with the Sydney Taronga Zoo and
the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Springs as one of the world’s
most incredible zoos. So, make sure you add it to your list of places to see
in the United Arab Emirates.
Atlantis, The Palm

Atlantis The Palm, Dubai is a luxury hotel resort hotel situated on the Palm
Jumeirah. It was the first resort to be built on the famous Palm Island in Dubai,
and has since become a landmark of Dubai, with a design based on the Atlantis
mythology but comprising distinct Arabian components.
The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial Dubai archipelago, that used intensive land
reclamation techniques to extend into the heart of the Persian Gulf. This
would be part of a bigger set of projects called the Palm Islands, comprising
Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira, that together would expand Dubai’s shoreline
by a range of 520 kilometers (320 mi) once finished. The process started in
2001, and the Atlantis resort launched on September 24, 2008.
The Palm Jumeirah Monorail is a 5.4-kilometer (3.4 mi) monorail that links
the Atlantis Hotel to the Gateway Towers at the archipelago’s foot. The
monorail links the Palm Jumeirah to the mainland, with a proposed additional
extension to the Dubai Metro planned. This was even the first monorail in the
Middle East.
The nautically themed 1,548 room Atlantis complex has dual accommodation
wings, comprising of the East and the West Tower, joined by the Royal Bridge
Suite. This is enhanced by the famous Aqua venture water park and the
incredible Lost Chambers Aquarium, home to more than 65,000 aquatic
animals.
The Atlantis resort is renowned for its masterfully designed suites and
spacious room sizes, each exceptionally furnished with the finest
facilities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. That explains why it is one
of the most famous hotels in the world. Room prices are not cheap, but
the experience of staying here is one of the top highlights of the UAE.
Burj Al Arab
The Burj Al Arab is a luxury five-star hotel in Dubai, and one of the most
recognizable landmarks of the United Arab Emirates. It is the 7th highest hotel
in the world, although around 39 percent of its actual height is taken up by
non-occupiable space.
The awe-inspiring Burj Al Arab rises 280 m (920 ft) from Jumeirah Beach on
an artificial island and is linked to the Dubai mainland by a unique curving
bridge. The structural form was developed to imitate a ship’s sail, but the Burj
al Arab also looks like the world’s largest Christian cross when viewed from
the ocean.
A design oversight or conspiracy, you will never see a photo used by the hotel
in marketing directly face on from the ocean for this very reason. The Burg Al
Arab, opened in 1999, also has a helipad near the roof, Rolls-Royces shuttle
service, and a private beach at 210 m (689 ft) above ground level.
If you get the chance, there is a panoramic, cantilevers restaurant with “the
ultimate” views of Dubai along with an aquarium restaurant accessed via a
simulated submarine journey. The Burj Al Arab is an officially a five-star hotel,
the highest-ranking possible but the hotel is sometimes mistakenly described
as “the only ‘seven-star’ hotel in the world,” it is claimed that the hotel
marketing team never did that themselves.
The concept emerged because a British journalist who had attended the hotel
on a trip before the formal opening of the hotel said it was” more than
anything she has ever seen” and then referred to it as a seven-star hotel.
Notably, the hotel never uses the term itself, but the reputation for excess
luxury is definitely well earned.
The Burj Al Arab is frequently physically contrasted with the Vasco da Gama
Tower in Lisbon or the W Barcelona, a landmark of Spain, but in terms of
facilities or ostentatious displays of riches neither come anywhere close.
Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa is one of the top landmarks in Dubai – in fact, it would be hard to
miss it! The world-famous ultra-tall skyscraper was built as part of a large
mixed-use complex that includes some of Dubai’s major landmarks as well as
cultural buildings, green spaces, shopping malls and avenues, hotels, but also
more than 30.000 homes.
Inaugurated in 2010, Burj Khalifa is today the world’s tallest structure and
building, with a total height of 820 m.
The idea behind the construction of Burj Khalifa and the surrounding complex
was to attract international tourism and diversify the country’s economy,
mainly based on Oil & Gas production and export. In this sense, the
inauguration of Burj Khalifa was a success because it is one of the most visited
sites in Dubai to the point that some travelers take advantage of long layovers
at Dubai airport to head to the city for a few hours only to visit the world’s
tallest building.
What’s in Burj Khalifa? The skyscraper has a mixed-use with a bit of

everything. Some floors are occupied by one of the Armani Hotels, but there
are also apartments, offices, and even swimming pools. On the 124th floor and
148th floor, there are two observation decks for tourists with incredible views
of the surrounding gardens and a big part of Dubai.
Burj Khalifa is located on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, and you
cannot miss it! If you are interested in climbing up to Burj Khalifa, book your
tickets in advance. These tickets are dated and for a specific time slot, and they
are a very interesting option as you can get up to a 75% discount on tickets
purchased on the spot.
