Destination Dubai: 24 hours in the desert metropolis

Travel trend watchers suggest that travelers are increasingly turning a flight layover into a mini-break of its own, to maximize a vacation and experience somewhere unfamiliar as a break en-route to a final destination.  Dubai in the United Arab Emirates fits this profile as an ultra-modern City with a wealth of things to see and experience while being a hub for flights to Asia-Pacific, Europe and Africa.  Dubai is full of surprises which a North American traveler would see in shorthand as a mix of the Bahamas, Miami and Beverly Hills with a dash of Las Vegas extravagance thrown in.  24 hours can go very quickly so here are our top must-experience suggestions.

Visit the Dubai Mall

Although a 5% sales tax is being brought in from January 1st 2018, the Dubai Mall is still well worth allocating a full day to visit.  Even if shopping is not your thing there is much to do here at the world’s largest indoor shopping mall.  It would seem that brands and stores from across the world are present here along with a plethora of cafes and dining.  Not to mention there is an aquarium. Seriously.  Best kept secret: See the fountain music show (think Bellagio in Las Vegas on a greater scale) from either a restaurant or from the balcony at the Apple Store.
