It's no accident that Dubai has become the world's Instagram capital. Here are the 10 experiences to shoot if you want to bring home the best photos of your trip.
1. Sky Views Edge Walk
219m up, you literally walk around the edge of the roof with nothing beneath your feet. The shot: harness + city behind + you leaning back. ~265 AED.
2. Buggy in the orange dunes of Liwa
Sunset over the high dunes of Liwa = glowing red. The shot: buggy mid-jump, sand flying, sun behind. Book it here.
3. Helicopter over Palm Jumeirah
The Palm from above + the helicopter door wide open. Instagram credibility guaranteed. Book it here.
4. Breakfast at the top of the Burj Khalifa
Atmosphere, 122nd floor. Coffee with the city at your feet. Brunch service beats dinner for the light.
5. Yacht in front of the Burj Al Arab
An iconic view: the white sail of the Burj Al Arab + a yacht in the foreground. Sunset is a must. Book it here.
6. The Dubai Mall fountain
At 7:30pm or 8pm. The Burj Khalifa lit up in the background, water jets choreographed to Whitney Houston. Selfie sticks allowed.
7. Souk Madinat Jumeirah at sunset
Arabian architecture + the Burj Al Arab visible behind. Reflections on the canals.
8. Skydiving at Palm Drop Zone
A 4K video lasting 5 minutes, but THE Instagram video. Tandem jump with a full view of the Palm. ~2499 AED.
9. White Beach Palm beach club
Infinity pool, white sun loungers, DJ. The classic shot: feet at the edge of the pool + Atlantis behind. Entry from 300 AED.
10. Ski Dubai (yes, in the middle of the desert)
A photo in a puffer jacket + the Burj Khalifa visible outside in the background. The contrast always raises a smile.
