Dubaia metropolis raised out of sand

Bucket List

The grand sailboat-shaped structure claims to be the world’s tallest hotel at 1,053 feet.

Where else can you experience a desert hot rod (or cars that go crazy in the dunes), enjoy smoking camels (well, these mammals can sometimes go fast) and hit a few moguls (we’re talking the skiing kind). Why, in Dubai, natch!

Hatta is an enclave of Dubai and must see. Hatta Pools is nestled in the Hajar Mountains and its main attractions are its relatively cool, dry climate and the mountain scenery.

It could be best expierience to swim through the narrow rock corridors with plunging waterfalls.
