Burj Al Arab
@TheHaywireHoney
To get onto the Island that the Burj Al Arab sits on you must have a reservation for the hotel or one of the restaurants! So make a reservation for a great meal and enjoy.

Ski Dubai
@TheHaywireHoney
You can rent everything except gloves, so bring your own or buy a pair in the shop. Kids can do a class while parents ski. Check age restrictions if you have young kids!

At The Top, Burj Khalifa
@TheHaywireHoney
It can be a bit confusing finding the entrance in the mall (it's HUGE). Buy your tickets ahead of time for the time slot that works for you. Daytime is nice since you can see around a bit (unless there's a sandstorm). Nighttime is kinda nice though because everything is lit up.

Dubai Museum
@TheHaywireHoney
Very cheap to visit, I think it was about 3 Durhams when we went. There is the fort at ground level with art for sale. Then you go underground for the museum which is modern and nice.

Free parking. Great restaurants and a nice souk for shopping. We always loved the Belgian Beer Cafe. You can view the Burj Al Arab from this location.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Rebekah
Based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I am a travel blogger (8+ yrs) and have lived in:
Utah ๐ง, South Florida ๐, Sharjah UAE ๐ฆ๐ช, and Southern California ๐ต.
I believe strongly in taking advantage of your surroundings and getting to know the area you live in. I love to curate content and materials based on places I know well and have been to myself.
I am also an artist and mom. So I love to travel outdoors a lot, be in beautiful spaces, and teach my kids from a young age to enjoy and adapt to these things as well. I think most travel can be "family" travel and that our dream trips can include our kids. But also trips without kids are an absolutely treat!
