Dubai has set a goal: to entertain the planet, always bigger, more crazy in the heart of the desert. Under a huge dome during a weekend in Dubai you can ski like in winter when the outside temperatures are around 50 ° C, further down a roller coaster or fight against virtual monsters. In the heart of the Middle East, Dubai is emerging as the new world capital of entertainment and gigantism. A perfect place for your holidays in Dubai!

A good example is probably the most surprising peninsula in the world: the Palm Jumeirah. An artificial peninsula 5 km in diameter in the shape of a palm tree. At the top of this huge palm stands the most emblematic hotel in Dubai, the Atlantis Hotel. In addition to two huge swimming pools and a kilometer of beach, the hotel has its own water park.

For leisure parks, the Motiongate Dubai opened in 2016 is 230 hectares of entertainment. The main part focuses on the cinema, the park has partnered with the largest Hollywood studios (Dreamworks Columbia) to offer attractions around great movies. Great eight with 50 seconds of looping at 80 km / hour, the park offers a dozen attractions thrills.

A few kilometers away is its main competitor, IMG Worlds of Adventure, the largest indoor amusement park in the world. The wave park on other universes, those of the heroes of Marvel with attractions around Thor, Hulk or Spider-Man and attractions for young and old alike.

Even more unlikely, a new attraction has appeared: The Green Planet, A real jungle reconstituted in the heart of a building for an initiatory journey, an ideal attraction during a stay in Dubai with the family.

Another must-see place in Dubai, the Dubai Mall: with its 1,200 shops, it's simply the largest mall in the world! Here we go shopping but especially having fun: an Olympic rink overhung a giant screen and an aquarium through which passes a tunnel of 48 meters to admire the rays or bull sharks. A new space has appeared in the center, dedicated to virtual reality.
