Hundreds of palms, tropical trees, shrubs, ferns, orchids and other flowering plants grace the 30 hectares of grounds, glasshouses, ponds and nurseries at the Botanical Gardens. A popular picnic spot for local families, as well as for tourists stopping by for having a break from sightseeing.

Sky Views Observatory takes sightseeing to new heights, literally. Perched more than 200 metres above Downtown Dubai, it offers striking views of the Burj Khalifa and the city skyline. Beyond the main viewing deck, visitors can try the Glass Slide, a transparent chute that curves along the tower’s exterior, or step out on the Edge Walk, a hands-free stroll along the building’s ledge for a true adrenaline rush.

The IWM North explores the impact of war and conflict on people’s lives, both historically and in the present day. Designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the building itself is a striking representation of a world fractured by conflict. At its opening, Libeskind described his vision as creating a space that 'emotionally moves the soul of the visitor toward a sometimes unexpected realisation'. Located on Trafford Wharf Road in Trafford Park, the museum overlooks the Manchester Ship Canal, an area that played a crucial industrial role during World War II and suffered heavy bombing in the 1940 Manchester Blitz.
