A Guide to Visiting the Burj Khalifa
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa. We went to the 124th floor to see what it’s like at the top of the tallest building in the world. To get to the top, we were treated to one of the fastest elevator rides in the world. The elevator ride is such a unique experience. The views At the Top were amazing! We highly recommend visiting the Burj Khalifa about an hour before sunset to see daytime views, sunset views, and nighttime views. From the observation deck, we could see the enormous Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain. We had a perfect view of the Dubai Fountain Show from the observation deck. After our visit to the Burj Khalifa, we went to the Dubai Fountain Boardwalk to get up close views of the fountain show. The beautifully choreographed show was a perfect ending to a wonderful day in Dubai.
BEST Emirati Breakfast at Arabian Tea House
We visited the Arabian Tea House in Dubai to eat authentic Emirati breakfast food and try CAMEL milk ice cream. We ordered the Emirati breakfast platter with balaleet, dates molasses, cheddar cheese, melted Kraft cheese, watermelon jam, baked beans, dango (chickpeas), bajella (fava beans) with traditional bread (khameer, chebab, and tanoor). We also tried the Arabian Specialty Tea with saffron and three scoops of camel milk ice cream (dates, saffron, and chocolate). We highly recommend trying out the Arabian Tea House if you are in Dubai.
