Dubai
A city that blends soaring modern skylines with centuries-old souks and desert traditions — equal parts luxury and heritage.
Old souks, new skyline.
Dubai's appeal is the contrast: the world's tallest building sits a short drive from centuries-old trading souks selling gold and spices. Between the two, you'll find some of the best shopping, dining, and desert adventure anywhere in the Gulf — plus a level of polish that makes first-time travellers feel instantly at ease.
The dry season (November through March) brings comfortable daytime temperatures, making it the easiest stretch of the year for sightseeing, desert safaris, and outdoor dining. Peak season for events and shopping festivals falls in December and January.
Where to spend your time.
Burj Khalifa & The Dubai Fountain
The world's tallest building, with an observation deck view over the city — time your visit for the evening fountain show at its base.
Al Fahidi Historic District & Gold Souk
Wind through Dubai's oldest neighbourhood, then cross into the bustling Gold Souk and Spice Souk for a taste of the city before the skyline.
Desert Safari
Dune bashing, camel rides, and a traditional dinner under the stars — one of the most-booked half-day trips out of the city.
Eat like a local.
Emirati cuisine blends Bedouin, Persian, and South Asian influences — aromatic rather than spicy, and easy to find even in the touristy parts of town.
Machboos
The UAE's national dish — fragrant spiced rice with chicken, lamb, or fish, flavoured with dried lime (loomi), cinnamon, and saffron.
Luqaimat
Golden, deep-fried dough balls drizzled with date syrup — the classic way to finish an Emirati meal.
Balaleet
A traditional Emirati breakfast: sweet saffron vermicelli topped with a savoury omelette — a surprising, memorable combination.
