If you have deep pockets, don\u2019t miss an opportunity to sip a glass of wine at the Skyview Bar. Shaped like a sail, it is just as fascinating from the outside.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>Burj Khalifa: Top Place to See In Dubai, U.A.E.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nEveryone knows that Burj Khalifa remains the tallest building of the world. At 829.8 meters, it allows you to soak in the views of Dubai from the Observation Deck on the 134th<\/sup> floor. You can also enjoy the view from an open area connected to the Dubai Mall near 1 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. A conveniently-located metro station makes it easy to travel to and from the mall.You should not miss the fountain show that happens at the foot of the Burj Khalifa.<\/p>\n<\/span>The Dubai Musical Fountain Show: Top Place to See In Dubai, U.A.E.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nThe Dubai fountain show takes place every evening in an open area accessible via The Dubai Mall. It repeats every 30 minutes and looks great in the night. However, do try to reach just before it gets dark and enjoy the show in both daylight and darkness. I have seen many fountain shows during my travels, but this one stands out as one of the best alongside the one at Brindavan Garden near Mysore, India. The one at Dubai is the world\u2019s largest choreographed musical fountain though. Some statistics will put things in perspective: the fountain is 900 feet long and water goes up to 500 feet. And the best part? It is free.<\/p>\nMe posing against Dubai Museum and Fort in Bur Dubai.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>The Dubai Mall: Top Place to See In Dubai, U.A.E.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nThe Dubai Mall is quite famous amongst locals and tourists alike. When I visited the mall, it was Ramadaan. Most of the food shops were unfortunately closed but the shops selling luxury clothing, electronics, etc.left me gaping. The mall is indeed the epitome of luxury. Besides luxury items, you can also buy duty free cosmetics, toiletries, toys, groceries, etc. from the Dubai Mall. The mall can be accessed by the metro but tale note that there is a long walk from the Metro Link Bridge to the mall. You can get down at Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Mall Station. Regular feeder buses to the Dubai Mall are also available frequently.<\/p>\nThe Dubai Mall.

This area is filled with in Indian restaurants, cheap grocery stores, souks, etc. Many Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis call it home along with the locals. I was delighted to find amazing Indian food (South Indian, Gujarati, Maharashtrian, etc.) at reasonable prices here.

Do visit the nearby historic Al Fahidi Fort.<\/p>\nKareena Kapoor poster at Bur Dubai near Deira.

It is a good idea to take a traditional wooden boat taxi for a throwaway price of 1 Dirham. The wooden boat is called abra<\/em>. If you are not a boat person, then you can enjoy a stroll on the neatly paved path along the creek. It looks particularly beautiful in the evening.<\/p>\nMe at the Dubai Creek near Bur Dubai and Deira. Dubai, United Arab Emirates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
