Totally worth it! Even though I don't understand Arabic, the underwater performance alone was worth the ticket price. The stage effects are top-notch, but consider transportation when leaving as there are many cabs that overcharge and can be very expensive.

Iconic building in Dubai. It's the frame of Dubai. Get yourself a framed photo under the building. Very cool!

We had an amazing desert safari experience with Captain Adil! He was an excellent guide and the best driver — his dune bashing skills were incredible, and we felt safe and thrilled the whole time. He was also very friendly, professional, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. On top of that, he took some of the best pictures of our adventure — truly Instagram-worthy! Thank you, Captain Adil, for making our desert safari unforgettable! Highly recommended! 🌅🐪🚙
