Booking an excursion to Dubai through Headout was a great experience for everyone – much cheaper than booking on-site, and there was no long queues or waiting. The view from the Ferris wheel is simply breathtaking. The huge cabin with only 8 people in it was great for me, but you can see that they really value things like this, so you can actually see 360 ​​degrees.

Our visit to Global Village was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. It was incredible to experience so many cultures in a single location. While all the Main Stage performances were spectacular, the concert conducted by Naoufal Ben Mehrez was truly breathtaking. For my wife, it was deeply personal; since her parents were born in Morocco, the authenticity of the Moroccan pavilion felt just like home. ...As the holy month approaches, we also want to send our warmest wishes for a Ramadan Kareem to all the wonderful people we met.

On Sunday afternoon, we visited two attractions: The Frame and the Museum of the Future. It was a very interesting visit, especially because we had a combo ticket that included both attractions at a discount, and we didn't have to wait in line to buy tickets. Everything went very smoothly at The Frame: parking was easy and there was a paid parking lot (which is unusual, because many parking lots here are free). We took the elevator up and took photos at the top. The corridor at the top of The Frame is particularly striking: it's a bit dizzying because the floor is made of glass. There are also explanations about the evolution of Dubai, so it's interesting beyond just the views. On top of that, the sun was just setting, so it was a beautiful moment. Afterwards, we went to the Museum of the Future, which is about 15 minutes away, although if you drive your own car it's easy to get lost. The building is truly spectacular from the outside and very beautiful, but inside it's perhaps not what you'd expect from a "typical" museum: it's a very experiential space. We saw it quite quickly because we were in a hurry to go to dinner, and even so it took us about 90 minutes. Also, even though we already had our tickets, we had to queue for quite a while, which was a bit tedious. The best thing about the museum, for us, was a very specific tip: in Chapter One (third floor), you have to go to the end, even though it's not very well signposted, and go out to The Balcony to take a beautiful photo. Overall, what we liked most was the building itself. The experiences are good and the museum is quite advanced, but you can find this kind of thing in other museums too.
