Arriving in Dubai, you will be greeted by a wide variety of transport options which can take you to the city centre. You can easily reach Downtown Dubai in under 20 minutes with a Red Line train, while the Dubai RTA bus (line 27) also operates every half hour to the Dubai Mall. Taxis are another convenient option and are readily available just outside the arrivals hall.

Luxury awaits you in Dubai with its white-sand beaches, magnificent architecture, and opulent retail and dining experiences. From relaxing on the palm-shaped islands at Jumeirah Beach to admiring the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, there is something to pique your interest at every corner of this Emirati paradise.

Shoppers will appreciate Dubai’s numerous retail options. Discover local treasures at the Souk Madinat bazaar or find international wares at the Dubai Mall – the largest shopping complex in the world that is also home to a cinema, VR park, haunted house, and countless restaurants.

After dark, Dubai caters to a variety of tastes with sleek rooftop terraces, shisha lounges, and sophisticated cocktail bars. Be sure to indulge in the local cuisine, some favourites being Luqaimat (hot sesame dumplings) or Chebab (pancakes topped with sour cheese and sweet date syrup).

We also recommend taking an excursion outside the city. Desert Safaris are readily available and are an amazing way to experience the rolling sand dunes of the Arabian Desert. You could also take a day trip to one of Dubai’s neighbouring cities, such as Sharjah, which is a 20-minute drive away, and Abu Dhabi, which is a 90-minute drive away.

If you want to learn more about the city’s culture, visit Old Dubai, also known as the historic district, which offers a glimpse into the city's rich heritage and traditional way of life. In the Al Fahidi neighbourhood, you can explore the Al Fahidi Historic District, characterised by its narrow lanes and traditional wind-tower houses. Within this district, you'll find the Dubai Museum, housed in the Al Fahidi Fort, which provides an insight into Dubai's history and culture.
