Discover Dubai

Dubai is a city that constantly redefines ambition, where the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, pierces a skyline of architectural marvels and man-made islands like the Palm Jumeirah reshape the coastline. This is a place of exhilarating contrasts: you can ski indoors at Ski Dubai in the morning, ride a camel across the red dunes of the Arabian Desert in the afternoon, and dine at a world-class restaurant overlooking the dancing fountains of The Dubai Mall by night.

Beyond the glittering towers, Dubai's soul is found in the bustling alleyways of the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood, the aromatic spice souks, and the vibrant multicultural communities that call it home. It's a city built on trade and hospitality, offering an unmatched fusion of ultra-modern luxury, rich Arabian heritage, and a truly global atmosphere where anything feels possible.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge

  • •Visit the Burj Khalifa at sunset by booking 'At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY' tickets for the 148th floor to see the city transition from day to glittering night.
  • •For the best desert safari, book a 'premium' or 'private' evening tour for smaller groups, better food, and a more intimate experience away from the crowds.
  • •Use the Metro's Gold Class cabin for just a few dirhams more; it's often less crowded and offers guaranteed seating with better views.
  • •Download the 'RTA Dubai' app to pay for public transport (Nol card), book taxis, and check Metro timings seamlessly.
  • •Friday brunch is a major social event. Book in advance for famous brunches at hotels, which often include unlimited food and drinks for a set price.
  • •Dress modestly when visiting traditional areas like the souks or mosques. Cover shoulders and knees to be respectful of local culture.
  • •Haggle confidently in the souks (except in fixed-price stores). Start by offering about half the asking price and negotiate with a smile.
  • •Escape the summer heat by exploring Dubai's extensive indoor attractions, from the massive malls to the Museum of the Future and Ski Dubai.
  • •Take a 1-dirham abra ride across Dubai Creek in Deira. It's the cheapest and most authentic way to see the old city from the water.
  • •For a free, stunning view of the Dubai Fountain show, watch from the waterfront promenade outside Dubai Mall or from the terrace of Apple Store.

Dubai Food Scene

Dubai's food scene is a spectacular reflection of its global population, offering everything from humble street eats to celebrity chef restaurants. While traditional Emirati cuisine is a must-try, the city excels at bringing authentic flavors from across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

Lebanese & Middle Eastern

  • • Al Hallab Restaurant
  • • Operation: Falafel
  • • Al Safadi in Al Satwa

Order a mixed grill platter and a variety of mezze to share; it's the best way to experience the breadth of flavors.

International Fine Dining

  • • Pierchic for seafood
  • • Nobu at Atlantis, The Palm

Book well in advance, especially for tables with iconic views (like Burj Khalifa or Palm Jumeirah vistas).

Dubai Hidden Gems

The Coffee Museum

A small, charming museum in Al Fahidi dedicated to the history and culture of coffee across the Arab world and beyond.

It offers a quiet, educational break from the city's hustle, with free entry, traditional coffee ceremonies, and a lovely courtyard cafe.

Alserkal Avenue

A dynamic arts district in the industrial Al Quoz area, housing contemporary art galleries, creative studios, and trendy cafes.

It's the epicenter of Dubai's underground and contemporary art scene, offering a gritty, creative contrast to the city's polished malls.

The Palm Jumeirah Monorail

A driverless monorail that runs along the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah, connecting the Gateway Station to Atlantis.

It provides unique, elevated views of the Palm's fronds, luxury villas, and the coastline that you can't get from the ground, especially picturesque at sunset.

Hatta Heritage Village

A reconstructed traditional mountain village in Hatta, showcasing Emirati life before the discovery of oil.

It's an authentic and peaceful glimpse into the region's history, set against a stunning mountain backdrop, far from the city's skyscrapers.

The Courtyards in Al Quoz

A collection of repurposed warehouses hosting independent boutique shops, concept stores, and cool eateries.

It's a local favorite for unique shopping (fashion, homeware, art) and brunch spots without the tourist crowds of the major malls.

Dubai Culture & Customs

Dubai is a melting pot where traditional Emirati culture blends seamlessly with influences from its large expatriate population. Respect for local Islamic customs is important, but the city is also remarkably cosmopolitan and tolerant.

Cultural Etiquette

  • •Public displays of affection should be minimal.
  • •Dress modestly, especially in traditional areas, malls, and government buildings.
  • •Always ask permission before photographing people, particularly local Emiratis and women.
  • •During Ramadan, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours.
