Dubai is a city that seamlessly blends traditional Arabic culture with modern luxury. The city is home to some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and the Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the world. But Dubai is more than just its iconic landmarks – it’s a city that’s steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty.

As a local, I’ve had the privilege of exploring Dubai’s many attractions, and I’m excited to share my top picks with you. Some of the must-visit attractions in Dubai include:

  • The Burj Khalifa: The tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa is a marvel of engineering and architecture. Take the high-speed elevator to the observation deck on the 124th floor for breathtaking views of the city.
  • The Dubai Mall: With over 1,200 stores, the Dubai Mall is a shopper’s paradise. But it’s not just about shopping – the mall is also home to a range of entertainment options, including a virtual reality park, a cinema, and a massive aquarium.
  • The Dubai Fountain: Located outside the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain is the world’s largest choreographed fountain system. Watch in awe as the fountains dance to music and light up the night sky.
  • The Gold Souk: For a taste of traditional Arabic culture, head to the Gold Souk, a bustling marketplace filled with gold and spice shops. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything, the Gold Souk is a great place to experience the sights and sounds of old Dubai.
  • Palm Jumeirah: This iconic man-made island is home to some of Dubai’s most luxurious hotels and resorts. Take a monorail ride to the top of the Palm for stunning views of the city.

As a local, I’ve learned a thing or two about navigating Dubai like a pro. Here are some insider tips to help you make the most of your trip:

  • Get familiar with the metro: Dubai’s metro system is efficient and easy to use. Buy a Nol card and use it to travel across the city.
  • Be respectful of local culture: Dubai is a conservative city, so dress modestly and be respectful of local customs and traditions.
  • Haggle at the souks: Haggling is a way of life in Dubai’s souks. Don’t be afraid to negotiate prices and have fun with the process.
  • Try the local cuisine: Dubai is a foodie’s paradise, with a range of delicious Arabic dishes to try. Be sure to try some shawarma, machboos, and luqaimat during your visit.
  • Explore the city’s hidden gems: From the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood to the Dubai Miracle Garden, there are plenty of hidden gems to discover in Dubai. Take some time to explore the city and stumble upon its lesser-known attractions.
