It is said to be one of the most sophisticated, glamorous, and spectacular urban destinations in the world and Dubai definitely aims to keep its reputation up! The city has morphed from being a small Gulf trading center to being one of the most futuristic locations tourists can visit these days. From the towering Burj Khalifa to the captivating Palm Jumeirah Island, the excellent restaurants to the extravagant themed shopping malls, Dubai is arguably the world’s most iconic 21st-century tourist destination!

What is good to know if travelling to Dubai?

  • Shopping fanatics should make their way to the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping complex, boasting a complete collection of boutique stores and fashion brand shops!
  • Dubai might be one of the most intriguing cities in the world. If you’re short on time however, find out how to explore Dubai in a mere 8 hours.
  • History buffs should head over to Bastakia Quarter, also known as the Al-Fahidi neighborhood. Built in the 19th century, this old part of the city is renowned for its Arabian architecture, evocative of a bygone and slower-paced age of Dubai’s rich history.

    Peak season: Dubai’s winter, which spans from December through March, is its peak tourism season since temperatures are cooler than those prominent in the hot summers.

Off season: Flight prices may be lower from June through September, which is when Dubai experiences its summer. Don’t be put off by scorching temperatures if you want to take advantage of the great flight rates during the off season though: almost all buildings in Dubai are air conditioned, and they even have an indoor ski center to accommodate adrenaline junkies in the heat of summer!
