Top New Tourist Attractions in Dubai to Visit in 2025

Dubai doesn’t just grow—it reinvents itself year after year. In 2025, the city once again surprises the world with a new wave of extraordinary attractions. If you thought you’d already “seen it all” in Dubai, think again. This year brings bold architecture, immersive tech, serene nature experiences, and cultural wonders—all thoughtfully designed to inspire, entertain, and amaze.

Whether you’re a tourist mapping out a dream itinerary or a Dubai resident looking to rediscover your city, this guide highlights the top new tourist attractions in Dubai for 2025. Each destination includes opening hours, ticket prices, and contact information, so you can plan your visit down to the last detail.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s fresh, futuristic, and unforgettable this year.

1. The Sky Spiral – Dubai’s New Vertical Landmark

Dubai has always loved its skyline, but in 2025, it added a new crown jewel—The Sky Spiral, a breathtaking observation tower spiraling over 700 meters above ground. Located between Dubai Marina and Bluewaters Island, this new structure offers 360-degree panoramic views from an open-air sky deck that literally spins (slowly and safely!) as you walk.

Beyond just a view, The Sky Spiral delivers an entire luxury experience. Visitors ascend via a glass elevator that wraps around the tower’s outer coil, offering surreal views on the way up. At the top, you’ll find a fine-dining lounge, VR-powered telescope stations, and a champagne skybar perfect for sunset selfies.

Whether you visit during the day to spot landmarks or at night to see Dubai sparkle, it’s an unmissable experience.

Opening Hours: Daily, 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM

Ticket Price: AED 179 (Adults), AED 129 (Children under 12)

2. Dubai Spacewalk Experience – A Journey Beyond Earth

Set in the ever-evolving Expo City Dubai, the Spacewalk Experience is one of the UAE’s most ambitious indoor attractions to date. This is not just a science center—it’s a full-scale simulation of space travel, allowing visitors to walk on a recreated moon surface, experience anti-gravity chambers, and navigate a space shuttle cockpit.

Designed in collaboration with global space agencies and futurists, the attraction is highly educational, interactive, and visually mesmerizing. Kids can enjoy augmented reality games and astronaut training simulators, while adults can join panel talks on space innovation.

Perfect for families and school groups, it’s both fun and thought-provoking—a rare combo.

Opening Hours: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM (Closed Mondays)

3. Rainforest Dome Dubai – A Tropical Haven in the Desert

Located within the Meydan One mega-project, Rainforest Dome Dubai brings the Amazon to the Emirates. This colossal glass biodome replicates a lush tropical rainforest with waterfalls, foggy tree canopies, and over 2,500 species of rare plants and animals. Expect to see toucans, tree frogs, parrots, butterflies, and even friendly sloths gliding slowly from branch to branch.

Unlike a zoo, this is an immersive walk-through ecosystem. There are hanging rope bridges, a “Night Rainforest” section with glowing flora, and an educational center where children can learn about biodiversity and climate preservation. You’ll genuinely forget you’re in Dubai.

It’s a calm, family-friendly escape from the city’s buzz—ideal for all ages.

Opening Hours: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Ticket Price: AED 95 (Adults), AED 70 (Children), Free under 3

4. Museum of the Future – AI & Consciousness Expansion

Already one of Dubai’s most iconic attractions, the Museum of the Future keeps evolving. Its newest wing, launched in early 2025, is entirely dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and Human Consciousness. With brainwave-interactive exhibits, ethical AI debates, and futuristic brain-to-device interfaces, this wing is truly pushing boundaries.

Visitors can simulate uploading their consciousness to a cloud-based avatar, interact with hyper-realistic humanoid robots, and attend think tanks on the future of human augmentation. This space is designed not just to inform—but to spark debate.

If you love tech, philosophy, or the intersection between science and humanity, this is your playground.

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Ticket Price: AED 149 (Adults), Free under 4

5. Floating Art District – Where Dubai’s Culture Meets Water

Situated on the shimmering waters of Dubai Creek Harbour, the Floating Art District is one of the city’s most elegant new cultural destinations. Picture modern art galleries housed on floating platforms, connected by sleek bridges and surrounded by tranquil water features.

You’ll find rotating exhibits from local and international artists, digital installations, sunset jazz sessions, and even “floating cafes” with transparent floors. By night, the area glows with ambient lighting, creating a magical open-air art experience.

Whether you’re an art lover or just looking for a scenic stroll with a creative vibe, this one’s a hidden gem.

Opening Hours: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Ticket Price: Free general entry; event tickets vary

6. Atlantis Aquaventure – Neptune’s Extreme Zone

Atlantis is a classic—but in 2025, it got a bold new upgrade. The Neptune’s Extreme Zone at Aquaventure brings next-level thrills: underwater ziplining, hyperloop water slides, VR reef diving, and the Gulf’s first 40-meter drop slide that mimics a vertical freefall.

There’s also a new tech-integrated lazy river with motion sensors that change the flow based on crowd size, ensuring smooth rides and shorter wait times. For adrenaline junkies, this section is non-negotiable.

The best part? It still maintains Atlantis’ exceptional hospitality and safety standards.

Opening Hours: 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM

Ticket Price: AED 289 (General), AED 449 (Extreme Combo)

Each basket includes a private guide, light breakfast, and drone-shot video of your flight. It’s romantic, peaceful, and bucket-list-worthy.
