The UAE loves getting into the Guinness Book of Records. In fact, Arabs love everything that is superlative! Such ambitious plans and their implementation benefit not only the local population but also tourists — where else but the Emirates can you enjoy all the benefits of humanity to the fullest?
I read reviews about the AURA SKYPOOL and found out that the main problem with visiting it is that you have to book well in advance. Almost 1.5-2 months before the trip, with full prepayment.
When I opened the AURA SKYPOOL website, I was able to find spots for the dates I wanted just 7 days before my trip. But!!! It was the beginning of summer, which is not the high season. It was hot. Maybe that’s why there were spots available. However, I got my hopes up too soon. Unfortunately, the AURA SKYPOOL website does not accept UnionPay cards, and you need a local phone number to confirm your booking. But I couldn’t imagine a trip to Dubai without visiting this amazing pool! And the fact that it was unavailable made it even more desirable!
So, we came to the main question — how to book the AURA SKYPOOL?
I will share my experience.
I found their email and WhatsApp number on the AURA SKYPOOL website. I persistently wrote to both email and WhatsApp. It took a whole 4 days to receive a confirmation of the booking…
- as they do not respond immediately. They periodically check the information you provided about the selected types and number of guests, so it is better to write the information right away — type, time, date, number of guests, which row you chose. Be as clear and detailed as possible. They will also ask you if there are any children.
IMPORTANT: children are not allowed in the AURA SKYPOOL infinity pool. Some people may find this upsetting, but I consider it a plus. Adults need to relax without kids around.
- After confirming your booking with the selected parameters, you must pay for it 48 hours before your visit. If you don’t, your booking will be cancelled. Those are the rules.
And now we come to the second important question: how do you get to the Aura Sky Pool on your own?
The most obvious answer is by taxi.
- If you can afford it, this is certainly convenient. For example, a taxi ride from the centre of Dubai to AURA SKYPOOL would cost me at least 3,500 one way. That is, 3,500 there, 3,500 back to pay for the booking, and then 3,500 there and 3,500 back on the day of the visit. That’s a total of 14,000 just for taxis. Previously, by the way, this was the only option. But a couple of years ago, a monorail appeared in Dubai, which runs along Palm Jumeirah, i.e. right along the artificial island where AURA SKYPOOL is located. And public transport is, of course, much cheaper.
I highly recommend this wonderful place for an unforgettable relaxation experience! The panoramic infinity pool AURA SKYPOOL Dubai 360° is definitely worth every dirham spent!
