Burj Al Arab

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.

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rebekah

Based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am a travel blogger (8+ yrs) and have lived in: Utah 🧂, South Florida 🐊, Sharjah UAE 🇦🇪, and Southern California 🌵. 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!
