From futuristic architecture to large, sandy deserts, Dubai has it all. This blog will take you through a few of the top spots to capture your next viral photo. Read on for a few of the most Instagrammable places to take pictures in Dubai!
The Burj Khalifa: Dubai’s Biggest Icon
Let’s be honest: the Burj Khalifa is the main spot when it comes to the most Instagrammable places in Dubai. Standing quite tall at 828 meters, it is the tallest building in the world. Do you want your feed to scream “Dubai”? Then, a photograph here is non-negotiable. For the best angles, capture the entire building from the Dubai Fountain area or go up to the observation deck for some stunning panoramic views. Morning shots will give you a clear sky, while evening shots capture the lights of the city. The Burj Khalifa looks different all throughout the day. It is an entirely different morning experience than night, and you will find new angles to love each time. A visit is not complete without the classic shot from the Dubai Mall’s entrance with the large, towering structure in the background.
The Dubai Frame
The Dubai Frame is a true architectural wonder that perfectly captures the contrast between Old Dubai and New Dubai. It is literally a large picture frame located in the middle of the city. For the best angles, the glass walkway offers a great view of the city, and the golden exterior shines the best in the sunlight. You are not just taking a picture of a frame; you are framing Dubai itself. One side shows the older and traditional parts of the city, while the other reveals the modern skyline, it is the most literal example of Dubai’s journey from the past to the present.
The Miracle Garden – a Floral Wonderland
Miracle Garden is one of those spots that looks like it has been pulled right out of a fairy tale. With millions of flowers, it is hands down one of the best places to take some Instagrammable-worthy photos in Dubai. Consider the heart-shaped pathway, the large floral Emirates A380, and Disney Avenue for the best shots. Consider visiting here during the cooler months, like in May, once the garden is in full bloom. Every flower arrangement is meticulously crafted, making you feel like you have walked right into a floral wonderland.
