Why visit Dubai?

Dubai blends striking modern skylines, vast desert landscapes, and a glittering waterfront, offering both urban energy and space to unwind.

What to expect

You can expect world-class attractions, sleek malls, traditional souks, and well-planned neighbourhoods that make getting around and exploring straightforward.

Plan your trip

Use Dubai as a base to explore the wider United Arab Emirates, from coastal escapes to desert adventures, with easy road links to nearby emirates.

Top sights in Dubai

Burj Khalifa

Take in sweeping views of Dubai from the observation decks of the world’s tallest tower, especially beautiful at sunset and after dark.

Dubai Marina and JBR

Stroll the waterfront promenades lined with cafés, restaurants, and beaches, with high-rise skylines reflecting in the marina waters.

Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain

Explore one of the world’s largest malls, then head outside in the evening to watch the choreographed fountain shows by the lake.

Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood

Wander through restored wind-tower houses, shaded lanes, and small museums that recall Dubai’s earlier trading days along the creek.

Desert safari

Head out of the city for dune landscapes, sunset views, and evening desert camps that show a different side of the emirate.

Palm Jumeirah

Ride the monorail or drive along this palm-shaped island for beachfront resorts, dining, and views back to the city skyline.

Experience Dubai’s everyday rhythm

Getting around

Use the Dubai Metro for quick journeys along the main corridor between the airport, Downtown, and Dubai Marina, then switch to taxis or ride-hailing for last-mile trips. The tram and monorail add scenic rides around the marina and Palm Jumeirah.

Local life & culture

Explore Al Fahidi and the creekside districts to see traditional architecture, small galleries, and everyday waterfront life, then contrast this with the cosmopolitan feel of areas like City Walk and Dubai Marina in the evenings.

Where to unwind

Relax on public beaches along Jumeirah, enjoy landscaped parks such as Safa Park or Zabeel Park, or visit beachfront promenades near sunset when the heat eases and the city lights begin to glow.

A taste of Dubai

Street food & local specialties

Try grilled meats, flatbreads, and shawarma in older districts around Deira and Bur Dubai, where small cafés and casual eateries line the streets and creekside lanes.

Casual & modern dining hubs

Head to major malls and beachfront areas like Dubai Marina and La Mer for international cuisines, where many spots offer sharing plates so you can sample a variety of flavours in one meal.

Signature & scenic dining

Book a table at restaurants in high-rise towers or along the waterfront in Downtown or the Marina to pair your meal with skyline, fountain, or sea views.

Retail therapy in Dubai

Malls & lifestyle hubs

Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and other large centres combine international brands, local designers, and entertainment, becoming all-day destinations to shop, dine, and meet friends.

Markets & local crafts

Browse the Gold Souk and Spice Souk in Deira, or seek out smaller concept stores in areas like Alserkal Avenue and Al Fahidi for art, crafts, and regional design pieces.

Evening retail scene

Many malls and waterfront promenades stay lively late into the night, with illuminated shopfronts and relaxed strolls, and they are easy to reach by metro, tram, or taxi.
