Top 7 travel tips in Dubai

1. Discover Dubai from the top

Dubai is one of those cities that has to be seen to be believed. Record-breaking buildings standing by traditional boroughs, artificial islands and an impressive coastline that will leave you in awe. One of the most iconic buildings in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower predominating the Dubai skyline. Admire the views from its observation deck on floor 124, have a nice meal on level 122 or spend some time in the tallest lounges in the world, located on floors 152, 153 and 154.

2. Visit the Old Dubai, Bur Dubai

Dubai is popular for its skyscrapers shaping the skyline and the futuristic architecture, but you can also see traces of what once was an angler village next to Dubai Creek, one of the best areas of the city to go for a pleasant stroll. Old Dubai, or Bur Dubai, is often referred to as the heart and soul of the city and it is a window to the day-to-day life of the locals shopping at the markets, enjoying authentic meals and discovering cultural experiences.

3. Go for a 4x4 ride

Out in the Al Maha Protected Nature Reserve, a fascinating desert full of dunes where you can see more than 300 specimens of the Arabian oryx, is the perfect spot to enjoy an exciting ride on a 4WD car through the sandy dunes. Hold tight! Sometimes it can be a bumpy ride!

5. Visit the Souk

In the souk you can find several jewellers selling real gems and unique pieces and other gold pieces and precious stones.

The rest of items you can get in a souk include Arabic spices and lots of textiles.

Are you looking for a place that has it all? Shopping, dining and going to the cinema is something you can do at The Beach, in the Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) area.
