I’ve had the pleasure of living in Dubai for two years so I've compiled a list of things you MUST do while visiting this luxurious city.
1. Skydive Over The Palm
I'm an adrenaline junky so I couldn’t leave the middle east without skydiving over the palm!
You can choose whether to skydive over the desert or the palm so the price may vary.

- Miracle garden
This beautiful garden has over 50 million flowers and over 250 million plants, making it the world's most extensive natural floral garden.
