Iconic attractions and modern marvels

Dubai’s skyline is instantly recognisable, dominated by record-breaking feats of architecture. You can’t visit without standing at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, before taking the high-speed lift to the 148th floor. From there, the city stretches out beneath you, with the vast desert on one side and the shimmering coastline on the other. If you prefer an up-close perspective, the Dubai Fountain performs a synchronised water and light show every evening, set against the backdrop of the tower itself.

For a completely different view, explore Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island shaped like a palm tree. A monorail runs along its spine, offering scenic rides past luxury hotels and beachfront villas. If you crave an adrenaline rush, SkyDive Dubai provides tandem jumps with breathtaking views over the island. Alternatively, step inside the Museum of the Future, where cutting-edge technology and interactive exhibits give a glimpse into what the world could look like decades from now.

Rich cultural experiences

Despite its modern reputation, Dubai holds strong to its traditions. In the historic district of Al Fahidi, narrow lanes and sand-coloured wind towers transport you back to the city's past. Here, the Dubai Museum, housed in an 18th-century fort, tells the story of the emirate’s transformation from a fishing village to a global metropolis.

Across the creek in Deira, the scent of saffron and oud fills the air as you wander through the Spice Souk. Just a short stroll away, the Gold Souk dazzles with displays of intricate jewellery. Take an abra (a traditional wooden boat) to cross the creek, a simple yet authentic way to experience the city’s heritage.

World-class shopping and entertainment

Dubai’s reputation as a shopping haven is well-earned, with options ranging from bustling markets to high-end designer boutiques. The Dubai Mall is more than just a retail destination - it’s an experience. Inside, you’ll find an indoor ice rink and a massive aquarium. For a more traditional setting, Souk Madinat Jumeirah blends Arabian architecture with a curated selection of shops, restaurants and waterways navigable by abra.

When night falls, the city’s entertainment scene comes alive. Dine at world-renowned restaurants and for an unforgettable evening, Dubai Opera hosts performances ranging from ballet to Broadway musicals. If you're after something livelier, nightlife venues in Jumeirah Beach Residence and Downtown Dubai ensure the party continues until the early hours.

Every moment in Dubai feels like a discovery. So, what are you waiting for?
