According to TripAdvisor's latest Travellers' Choice Awards, Dubai ranks as the third most popular travel destination globally. TripAdvisor describes Dubai as a blend of modern and traditional, where visitors can enjoy performances at the Dubai Opera, take in city views from the Burj Khalifa, or explore the gold, spice, and textile souks along Dubai Creek.
For the adventurous, there's hot air ballooning over the desert, thrills at IMG Worlds of Adventure, or skydiving over Palm Jumeirah.
