If you’re visiting the opulent city of Dubai, you can’t NOT make a trip to see the world’s largest mall. There are plenty of high-end goods for sale at the shopper’s\u00a0paradise that is the Dubai Mall, but there’s also plenty to do at the mall\u00a0that won’t cost an arm and a leg. Too good to be true? We think not! Read on to find out how you can enjoy a day at the Dubai Mall without eating into your travel budget.<\/p>\n

Check out the Dancing Dubai Fountain<\/h2>\n

\"Dubai<\/p>\n

Inspired by its counterpart at the Bellagio in Vegas, the Dubai Fountain has upped the ante by becoming\u00a0the world’s largest choreographed fountain system! Watch and marvel at the\u00a022,000 gallons of water that will be\u00a0sprayed\u00a0high up in the air to synchronized music and (at night) a light show — all for the grand cost of zero dollars. All you have to do is find yourself a prime viewing spot around the Burj Lake to take in this truly authentic Dubai experience.<\/p>\n

Get a Bird’s Eye View from the Burj Khalifa<\/h2>\n

\"Burj<\/a><\/p>\n

While at the mall, don’t forget that you’ll be in the shadow of the\u00a0world’s tallest building as well. The towering 163-floor Burj Khalifa can you give you breathtaking\u00a0views of the city. While a ticket won’t\u00a0get you a trip all the way to the very top, you can visit either the 124th, 125th, or the 148th floors for 360-degree views of Dubai, which\u00a0is still pretty spectacular. It’s a hot ticket that sees a multitude of visitors at any time of the year, so make sure you purchase yours well in advance.<\/p>\n

Dive into the Dubai Aquarium<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

With over 30,000 living animals, including over 400 sharks and rays, you’ll feel like an underwater explorer — without\u00a0even having to get wet! The highlight has to be the\u00a0 270-degree walkthrough tunnel\u00a0that really\u00a0puts you right among some amazing creatures, so you better get ready for some Instagram-worthy shots.<\/p>\n

Skate in the Desert at the Dubai Ice Rink<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Dubai is a place that makes the impossible come to life, and if you thought ice skating in the desert seems like a\u00a0far-fetched idea, well think again! Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll be able to hit the ice rink located on the ground floor of the mall and have a total blast. Don’t forget to hit the disco at night so you can show off some dance moves on the ice as well. The rink is open from Monday to Sunday.<\/p>\n
