Al Hadheerah Desert Restaurant

Part of the Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Resort set out in the desert, this restaurant is a DON'T MISS. It offers a fabulous traditional Arabic buffet feast with multi cooking stations along with lively entertainment in the way of a horse show on the dunes, belly dancing, henna tattoo artists, twirling dervishes, and live Arabic music. In between courses you can wander through the displays of Arabic pottery, carpets, spice souks, fish souks, and falconry. The set price includes a camel caravan ride through the dunes, best enjoyed at sunset.
Aquarium at Atlantis The Palm

At the hotel there is a fantastic aquarium called The Lost Chambers. There is an entrance fee for this attraction.

For those on a budget, ignore the ticket booth and just walk a few metres around the corner where you will see enormous, FREE viewing windows.

Many varieties of fish, sharks and rays are on display and you can see them being fed by scuba divers at certain times of the day.
Aquaventure

Within 42 acres of lush tropical landscape lies AQUAVENTURE.

Rivers, rapids, waves, slides, dumping buckets, pools, a shark lagoon, and a private beach provide guests with unrivalled fun and entertainment for the ultimate family day out.

Towering above the waters, the Mesopotamian styled Ziggurat features 7 heart-pumping water slides including 2 which take our guests on a journey through Shark Lagoon.

Only those daring and adventurous enough will take on The Leap of Faith..27.5-metres tall, this slide plunges the brave 61-metres along an almost vertical drop through the Shark Lagoon.

Shark Attack takes guests into the depths of the mysterious Ziggurat before emerging beneath the surface of Shark Lagoon.

For families with younger children, AQUAVENTURE is home to Splashers, the largest family interactive play-structure in the region. 10 slides, 2 dumping buckets, rope bridges, water jets, cannons and climbing frames will keep our younger guests excited and amused all day.

Our cashless payment system allows guests to keep having fun all day long! Just load up your wristband using cash or a credit card when you arrive and you can use it to purchase food, drinks and souvenirs without having to return to your locker each time. The wristband also acts as the key to your locker!

Towels and lockers are available to rent for the day, food desires can be satisfied at any one of our restaurants or guests are welcome to head for The Avenues for a more sophisticated dining experience.

For a limited time only when purchasing a ticket to Aquaventure, guests may also enjoy unlimited access to The Lost Chambers, the spectacularly themed marine exhibit located within The Avenues. Access to The Lost Chambers is restricted to the same day as Aquaventure visitation.

Burj Al Arab

This iconic, attention-grabbing “seven-star” hotel is certainly a sight that everyone shouldn't miss
Dubai Desert Dancer

Magnificent belly dancers at the Dubai Desert camp being one of the alluring attractions of Dubai.
Indulgent Afternoon Tea at Burj Al Arab

For the majority of us, staying at the Burj Al Arab is a dream only. However an excellent way of getting to see the incredible rather opulent interior is by taking afternoon tea in the Sky View bar. For around £80 per person (sorry no typos in that figure) you do get a wonderful 7 course tea with of course 7 star service from all the staff.

Included is a glass of Moet & Chandon, and as much tea, coffee, sandwiches, petit fours, fresh fruit, home made scones, pastries etc that you can drink/eat.

What you are really paying for as well as the wonderful food is the ambience of the place, the superior service and of course that wonderful view from the Sky View Bar.

You only live once so my advice is next time in Dubai.... try!!!
