    Dubai Fountain
    Very nice show to avoid on Friday and Saturday because too many people.
    It is possible to see the show from some restaurant terraces so take the opportunity to have a meal show you can easily see 3 or 4 shows during a meal because show every 30 minutes.

    A tour of the royal suite and a gold Cappuccino
    A snapshot visit how the other half live. Really opulent in a slightly OTT way. The tour lasted about an hour after the buggy rider from the JBH. Quite expensive (399 AED) but definitely a once in a lifetime thing, I'm never going to spend the sort of money needed to stay in the hotel.

    The heart of Dubai
    The creek is where it all began for Dubai and it remains a vibrant place to visit.

    There are bustling souks and lots of restaurants on either side of the creek and you can cross in an old style wooden abra for just one dirham.

    A must visit for visitors to Dubai.

    Amazing morning yoga and breakfast
    We came for the early morning yoga with Emilsy at the skypool, it was fabulous even though I cannot bend very well, and I don't particularly like early mornings ;-), Emilsy was amazing, breakfast in the lounge was very tasty and full of flavour, our server Marvin was so friendly and helpful, cannot recommend this enough, and I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat.

    The Bur Dubai Abra Station is a popular attraction in Dubai and offers visitors a unique experience of traditional boat rides across the Dubai Creek. The station is located in the historical district of Bur Dubai, which adds to its charm.

    The station is easily accessible by public transport, and the fares for the abra rides are relatively affordable. The boat rides offer stunning views of the city skyline, including iconic landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Frame.

    The station itself is clean, well-maintained, and efficient in terms of operations. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the waiting areas are comfortable.

    Overall, the Bur Dubai Abra Station is a must-visit attraction for anyone looking to experience the traditional side of Dubai and enjoy a scenic boat ride across the Dubai Creek.

    Open Doors, Open Minds
    This is different than the glorious Abu Dhabi grand mosque, but just as valuable to visit. Here we enjoyed dates and pastries, learned a bit about the live falcon available to view, and most importantly had a chance to learn about Moslem prayers. Our guide "Ahmed” was excellent. By example, we learned about the washing prior to prayer, with our shoes off we walked around inside the mosque learning about different rituals, and had many questions answered. Culturally interesting and educational as the slogan says “Open Doors, Open Minds.” If needed, visitors can borrow head or body coverings for their visit.

    I wish to see better cars condition
    The experience over all was extremely exciting and unforgettable! Our instructor and track itself are the best.
    I was a bit disappointed when I've set in a car, because good looking for the outside car appeared to be not thet good inside. The moment which regretted me the most it was totally broken stealing wheel information appliances, they weren't working at all. I'm not a professional racer but it would be good to have important information about the engine and your speed and also a gear you are driving on, as it's sequintal gearbox and it's hard to keep tracking gears while focusing on driving.
    Over all all was good. Cars could be maintained better, according the price for the Formula DXB experience.

    Long road
    Known to be the longest road in the UAE, construction for Sheikh Zayed Road began in 1971. The highway was completed in 1980. The road is named after the then President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

    Excellent
    Great hotel and highly recommend for the level of service and excellent location. Special mention to the front desk and managers.

    As a family of 9 (including in-laws etc), we were also grateful to have Muhammad Asif from Starlet limo who managed to ensure we were always picked up and dropped off on time every time. Stress free travel!!!

    A modern take on the traditional market
    Al Seef is a modern take on the traditional market. While the area is aesthetically pleasing, we came in the morning and not much was open. I can only imagine how much prettier it could be in the evening when the lights are on. We were aware that this was not the place for bargain hunters. But we still enjoyed our shopping experience here. No merchant was too pushy, unlike the gold souks. We could still bargain with the merchants. Since Al Seef is right next to the creek and a few other tourist sites, I recommend checking it out, preferably in the evenings.
