Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The tour bus dropped us on the opposite side of the Dubai Mall. Wait! We originally asked him to do the opposite! What did we ask him to do, originally?

Answer: Drop us on the same side of the Dubai Mall

 We asked him to drop us on the same side of the Dubai Mall. Opposite means to have a position of the other side of an object. Here, the word is used as an adjective. Same means identical or unchanged. It is also used as an adjective here.

Dubai Mall is a wonderful mall in the emirate of Dubai and is one of the largest malls in the world. It has more than 1,000 shops, a cinema, an ice rink and a very large aquarium.
2. We spent sometime in the awesome water park called 'Wild Wadi'. If the owners of the park wanted to change the name of this park to its opposite, which name would be most appropriate?

Answer: Tame Wadi

 it wouldn't be as much fun if it was called 'Tame Wadi'! Wild means uncontrolled or not domesticated. It is used as an adjective here. Its opposite, tame, means domesticated or controllable. Synonyms are meek, docile, etc.

The Wild Wadi Water Park is a water park situated in Jumeirah, Dubai. The park has a number of enjoyable rides, a couple of restaurants and gift shops. It is an amazing place to spend some time with your family!
3. The next stop on our tour is the larger than life Burj Khalifa. It makes no sense to say that Burj Khalifa is one of the shortest buildings in the world, but the opposite is true. And what would that be?

Answer: Burj Khalifa is one of the tallest buildings in the world

 It wouldn't be interesting if it was a short building because Dubai is filled with tall buildings. Tall is an adjective, meaning really high or lofty. The opposite of tall is short, which means low. It is also used an adjective, here.

The Burj Khalifa, standing at more than 2700 feet, is one of the tallest buildings in the world. It is a wonderful tourist attraction and a viewing deck at the top of the building makes for a wonderful family getaway. There is a fountain called the Dubai Fountain outside the building.
4. Now, we are on our way to the next destination. We have to travel on the Floating Bridge of Dubai to get there. As we travelled on the bridge we really hoped it wouldn't turn into the opposite. What might that bridge be called?

Answer: The Sinking Bridge of Dubai

 Nobody would travel on it if the bridge was sinking, right? Floating means to be suspended in air or water. It is used as an adjective to the word bridge here, the verb form being 'float'. The opposite of floating is sinking or drowning, which means to become submerged or go down below surface.

The Floating Bridge of Dubai is a link between two sectors of Dubai, Bur Dubai and Deira Dubai. It is built over the Dubai Creek.
5. Next stop is the Burj Al Arab. What wonder this hotel is! The word 'uncomfortable' can never come to your mind if you stay in this hotel. So what word would be more fitting?

Answer: Luxurious

 Luxurious means comfortable, elegant and enjoyable. The opposite of it is uncomfortable. Both words are used as adjectives, here.

The Burj Al Arab, one of the world's finest hotels, is located in close proximity to Jumeirah in Dubai. The architectural structure resembles a sail of a ship.
6. Now we find ourselves on Palm Jumeirah, an island that looks like a palm tree! And everybody was awestruck to learn that this is an artificial island as compared to the Hawaiian Islands, which are exactly the opposite. What is that?

Answer: Natural islands

 Natural refers to something that was not man-made and has been existing in nature for a long time. The opposite of it is artificial, which means produced synthetically or man-made. Synonyms of artificial are unnatural and false.

The Palm Jumeriah is an artificial group of islands. It is located in Dubai, in the Jumeriah extension. It is shaped like a palm tree and alongside Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira, it is the third palm shaped island in Dubai.
7. Walking around the Global Village was breath taking, such huge pavilions representing so many countries were there. The Indian pavilion was shaped like the Taj Mahal, but it wasn't a perfect piece of work compared to the real Taj Mahal. How can we word the last statement using opposites to mean the same thing?

Answer: it was a flawed piece of work compared to the real Taj Mahal

 Perfect means without blemish or fault. It is an adjective. The opposite of perfect is flawed, which means imperfect. Both words are used as adjectives. The synonyms of perfect are complete, absolute, etc., and that of flawed is faulty.

The Global Village is an entertainment park in Dubai. It has an amusement park and a shopping bazaar in its premises. There are pavilions representing many countries from around the world and a lot of the cultural elements characteristic of the countries can be enjoyed in the respective pavilions.
8. At dusk, we went on a safari in the desert. The SUV that we travelled on was very powerful. We drank fresh camel milk, watched a belly dancer shake her moneymaker and lit a camp fire. It was beautiful. I definitely want to come here again but at the opposite time. What time would that be?

Answer: Dawn

 Dusk is the darker stage of twilight as compared to dawn which is the first appearance of light in the sky. Both words are nouns. Morning, daybreak, daylight are all synonymous to dawn and nightfall is synonymous to dusk.

You can go on safaris in the deserts of Dubai with a guide for a reasonable price. Bellydancing is a usual occurrence on the agenda during a desert safari. You can drive a dune buggy and ride a camel in the desert. If you ever go on a desert safari, try to have fresh camel milk! It is simply wonderful.
9. Towards the end of the day we decided to go on a cruise on the Dubai Creek. The boat was luxurious but even better was the view from the middle of the creek. The lights of Dubai are so beautiful. Such a serene sight! So which one of the following isn't it?

Answer: An agitating sight!

 Serene means peaceful, quiet or calm. So the opposite of serene is agitated or nervous. Both words are used as adjectives.

The Dubai Creek in the emirate of Dubai borders the sectors of the city, Bur Dubai and Deira Dubai. There are sections of the creek that are open for public recreation and transport. There are quite a number of bridges built across the creek. It is such a beautiful place!
10. Wow! Dubai was such a breath taking place. So much to see but so little time. To summarise, Dubai is a place that is boring, ordinary, worthless, common, polluted and off-putting! Wait! That is not true! We meant that it is the exact opposite of all that. What is the exact opposite of exactly all that, in that order?

Answer: It is interesting, extraordinary, valuable, unique, clean and attractive!

 Boring means uninteresting or mundane. The opposite of it is interesting. Both words are adjectives.
Ordinary is synonymous with common, usual, normal which usually implies the absence of something special. The opposite, extraordinary, means the presence of something special.
Worthless is usually used to refer to something that is a waste of time, money and energy. The opposite, valuable, means something precious or worth the effort.
Common is synonymous with ordinary. Antonyms can be unique, rare, one in a million, etc. Both common and valuable are used as adjectives.
Polluted means contaminated or adulterated. It means that the natural/actual condition of something has been changed for the worse. Opposite of it is clean. Both words are used as adjectives.
And lastly, the opposite of off-putting is attractive! Both words are adjectives.

Dubai is truly all that. It is one of the most visited places in the world and would be a great destination for a family vacation.
