Travel: Dubai Garden Glow
The Dubai Garden Glow is a neat place if you’re looking to enjoy the outdoors in the evening. We visited on our last night and spent about 90 minutes walking, talking, and enjoying the glow garden. It’s right by the Dubai Frame, so perhaps check it out if you’re in the area. Okay, let’s check out some bright photos! Dubai Garden Glow First up, go at night, and when it’s really dark. I think they open at 5pm, and the sun sets around 4:45pm, yet…

Travel: Dubai Miracle Gardens
The Dubai Miracle Gardens – what a stunning place to spend a morning. We visited on one of the hottest mornings and enjoyed every hot moment in the sun. The floral displays are stunning – and you have to see them with your own eyes. Some look like they’re from a Dr. Seuss book while others are massive animals – oh, and they’re a full sized plane! Be sure to bring water, since the whole place it outside, and shade isn’t plentiful. Okay, let’s check…

Travel: Dubai Frame
The Dubai Frame – it’s a newish tourist attraction that frames Old Dubai on one side and New Dubai on the other. Not only is the frame stunning from the grounds, but the view from the top is a sight to see. Okay, let’s check out some photos. Dubai Frame First, you can buy your tickets ahead of time online. It’s about 20$ Canadian and worth it. The line isn’t too long at all – it took us about 20 minutes from our arrival to…

Travel: Etihad Museum
The Etihad Museum is a must see if you’re in Dubai. And, if you’re Canadian (like us!), then it’s extra special since it was designed by Moriyama and Teshima Architects, incredible Canadian architects. The design was a manuscript being held by seven columns. The seven columns represent the seven pens that signed the original deceleration – neat, eh? Okay, let’s checkout the inside. Etihad Museum First up, the museum will take you about an hour to 90 minutes. It was a short walk from our…

Travel: Dubai Fountain
The Dubai Fountain – it’s magical and a spectacle worth checking out. If you’re in the Dubai Mall area, visiting the Burj Khalifa, or the Dubai Aquarium, then time your visit and watch this water show! There aren’t any seats or tickets (well, I think you can pay and have a spot on a bridge), yet do ensure you arrive early-ish to get a good view. The walkway will fill up fast. We stood behind an older couple that was short, so we go some…

Travel: Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo – it’s a must do if you’re in Dubai. Don’t be fooled if you’re in the mall, there is way more to this aquarium than meets the eye. After touring the Burj Khalifa, we headed over to the aquarium and spent about 90 minutes checking out all the creatures. We bought package tickets, so if you plan on seeing both sights, I suggest you do the same. Saved us a total of $55 Canadian. The At The Top tickets…
