Must-Visit Places in the United Arab Emirates: Ido Fishman's Recommendations

There are plenty of ways to enjoy Dubai, but we have gathered some of our favorites below. We also consulted Ido Fishman, who has worked in tourism for many years. In his view, a vacation during the coronavirus period is an excellent idea for people who are not arriving from red-listed countries.

Planning a vacation in the United Arab Emirates or Dubai? Now is the time to review these tips to make sure you enjoy your trip to the fullest. First, Ido Fishman recommends checking costs. If you are looking for cheap flights, it is best to book at least three months ahead, depending, of course, on how flexible your dates are. Now let us discuss some useful tips for a UAE trip.

Ido Fishman's top five in the UAE!

1) Burj Khalifa: at 828 meters, it is the world's tallest building. Seeing it illuminated at night is truly breathtaking. Ido Fishman recommends visiting the observation deck or taking an elevator to one of its restaurants on the 124th floor. Simply amazing.

2) Ski Dubai: if you are visiting during the winter months, this indoor ski resort is a must! It includes beginner and advanced slopes, along with personalized instruction. Amazing, but cold! Dress warmly.

3) Dubai: Dubai is a great place for food lovers and culinary travelers. Shoppers will also enjoy the enormous variety of malls, markets, boutiques and huge, luxurious shopping centers. The city also offers many beautiful natural beaches to explore.

4) Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi is one of the world's largest cities, with plenty to do, such as touring its historic districts or enjoying watersports including diving and snorkeling.

5) Sharjah: Ido Fishman strongly recommends this destination. Sharjah draws visitors with beaches quieter than those of nearby Dubai. You can pursue some SUPER action-packed lounging, sip wonderful cocktails in the sunshine, work on your tan lines and enjoy the peace.
