Dubai continues to unravel a bucket list of attractions for Turkish travellers

Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism welcomed to the city one of Turkiye’s most beloved stars, Engin Altan Duzyatan, as part of the ongoing campaign ‘Dubai Presents’, which aims to increase visits by travellers from Dubai's international source markets, including Turkiye.

During his stay, Engin Altan had a fun-filled holiday while enjoying the different adrenaline-pumping experiences, including walking along the edge of a building 219.5 meters above ground at Sky Views Observatory while admiring the iconic landmarks of Dubai, horse riding by the beach in Jumeirah with Aayan Equestrian Club, and exploring Dubai's newest attractions. He also marvelled at the 360-degree panorama of the world-renowned Palm Jumeirah, Dubai skyline, and the Arabian Gulf from The View at The Palm.

Captivated by his first visit, Engin returned to Dubai again, this time bringing along his family, as they ticked off more things to do on their bucket list. They spent quality time together while visiting The Green Planet, Dubai's indoor rainforest featuring more than 3,000 flora and fauna species, and Oli Oli, Dubai's top-rated experiential play museum.
