Premier League stars Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Athena del Castillo and Toni Kroos have explored the popular tourist destination far and wide, making a ton of unique “cards”.

Dubai has been named the top destination in the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards for the third year in a row. It is not surprising that famous players, snatching a few free days, went to see this for themselves. And it was received in a variety of areas: the football players not only went to museums and famous shopping centers, but also went on a premium safari, studied Arabic traditions and music, cooked national dishes and even rode the metro.

For example, Toni Kroos visited the Museum of the Future, immersed himself in virtual reality, competed with artificial intelligence, met a robot dog, and then, a little tired of the futuristic depths, moved to one of the old areas of the city and played a traditional Arabic board game with a local old man. game.

Vinicius Junior also walked through the Al Seef and Al Fahidi districts to get to know the history and culture of the city better. Here are the Dubai Gold Souk (the famous Gold Souk) and the Dubai Spice Souk , and there are many authentic restaurants, interesting art galleries and souvenir shops around. Vinicius appreciated this part of the cultural heritage of the emirate, and in order to become even more familiar with it, he tried to play folk instruments with local musicians.

Eduardo Camavingo and Athena del Castillo decided to turn into “ordinary” tourists and went to explore Dubai by metro – fortunately, almost any attraction in the city can be reached, if not by high-speed train, then at least reduce the distance and costs of transport.

After that, Camavingo and Vinicius Junior went to the famous Lost Chambers aquarium at the Atlantis, The Palm hotel and met its inhabitants: sharks, rays and piranhas.

Federico Valverde and Athena del Castillo chose one of these routes and spent the day in the desert on a premium Platinum Heritage safari .
