So, if you've not yet made any plans for your days off or with your visitors this year, head to one of these three new fantastic attractions that suit all ages and interests. 

Dubai Opera

Granted, tickets to this place and its shows need to be bought in advance. And there's no surprise that as it's newly opened, tickets are somewhat catered for a particular budget. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean you can't appreciate the opulence of the new development. Head down to Downtown Dubai and combine a trip to The Dubai Mall, Souk Al Bahar, the Dubai Fountains and the brand new, astonishing Dubai Opera that's joined the view over there. 

Even if you don't have tickets to the opera, there are some fabulous dining facilities and restaurants around the area so you can really make a day out of a trip down there. Make sure to check what's coming up on their showings, we're very excited to see what the future holds for the Dubai Opera!
