UAE: 5 cool activities to try this weekend for that perfect Insta post

Being in the UAE gives residents access to unique landmarks and attractions that could be the perfect backdrop for your Instagram feed. As the cooler weather slowly rolls in, here's where to go to get some beautiful pictures for your social media

The Wings of Mexico are on permanent display in several cities including Dubai, Los Angeles, Singapore, Nagoya, Madrid and Berlin. The iconic sculpture by Jorge Marin can be found in Burj Plaza.

As the weather cools down, this attraction will soon become a hotspot for visitors. With beautiful views of the city and the Creek, along with ambient seating and F&B options, a visit to Dubai Creek Harbour will get you some great photos and a nice evening out.

Visitors to the Rain Room in Sharjah can enjoy a rain-like downpour — without getting wet. The surreal experience is made possible by motion sensors that hold back the nonstop ‘rain’ where visitors stand or walk. The arrangement means you are continuously, and closely, surrounded by falling water wherever you are and wherever you move inside the installation, located besides Al Majarrah Park, off Al Sharq Street. Tickets are priced at Dh25 for adults and Dh15 for kids and students.

The photo ops at the Museum of the Future start before you even enter the iconic building. Get this money shot in front of the entrance, capturing the unique shape of the building and its surrounding landscape. On the other side, you could also pose next to the statue showing a three-finger salute, popularised by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, symbolising win, love and victory.

Get a picture posing with a pristine and artistic background at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The unique honey-comb style floating dome is the key highlight here. You could also kayak through the museum at an additional cost.
