3 Cultural-Experience Musts in Dubai

[Robert Taylor]

A holiday abroad can provide travelers with the opportunity to learn an array of new and exciting things about an amazing place they have never experienced before.

Dubai is quite religious and cultural, as well as being modern and cosmopolitan, making it the ideal location to visit if you are interested in learning about religious and culture both locally and internationally. Plan your travel itinerary before your trip.

Bollywood Parks Dubai 

At the very first theme park in the world dedicated to all things Bollywood (India's film industry, based in Mumbai/Bombay), visitors can expect action and adventure, romance and comedy, music and dance, and a whole lot of flavor and emotions – all Bollywood style, of course.

The park is made up of five zones, each inspired by Bollywood blockbusters and celebrating Mumbai’s legendary film industry. There will be live entertainment, stage performances and cinematic rides to keep every member of your circle of friends or your family members busy and happy throughout the day.

Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding

Being a quintessentially cosmopolitan city, Dubai is home to families who have relocated from many parts of the world, each with their own distinctive and diverse culture. The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding was opened to bridge the gap between expats and locals, ensuring they do live together as strangers. The center helps to educate travelers and expats in the traditions and customs of the United Arab Emirates through a number of courses and activities. Some of the most popular activities include heritage tours, cultural meals, Arabic classes, and the Jumeirah Mosque visit.

The cultural meals are my favorite, as it was a chance to indulge in a traditional Emirati breakfast and lunch with freshly prepared food and great company. There was also the opportunity to ask the Emirati host any questions and take in the amazing ambiance of the wind tower house.

International Dining

Dubai is home to numerous restaurants, many helmed by celebrity chefs, that serve up cuisine from across the globe. No matter your favorite type of cuisine, there is an opportunity to try something you have never tied before, and eat a few of your favorite dishes. Bread Street Kitchen and Bar – owned by Gordon Ramsey and located at Atlantis, The Palm – serves up classic British dishes, including his signature Beef Wellington, and there are other opportunities to try scores of others, including India, Emirati, Italian, and Spanish.

Delve into culture and tradition in Dubai during your holiday and return home with a new perspective of the city and more knowledge and understanding.
