Deira
5.7 miles from downtown
This area in "old Dubai" is a remarkable contrast to Downtown’s shiny newness. Be prepared to haggle in the traditional souks offering spices, textiles and gold jewelry. Wander along the port to watch fishermen transporting their catch on traditional dhows. Deira City Centre Mall has dining and entertainment for the masses.

Umm Suqeim

Umm Suqeim is a quiet community located along Jumeriah Beach. Wild Wadi Waterpark offers family fun in the form of slides and simulated surfing, and Jumeriah Beach is perfect for getting some sun.

Jumeirah
1.9 miles from downtown
Jumeirah is primarily a residential area, but it's also home to the lively Madinat Souk (a traditional Arabian market). The area is filled with low-rise villas. It’s fun to rent a bike and ride along Jumeirah Beach, with its 30 miles of pristine (and private) coastline – head to Jumeirah Beach Park for a publicly accessible area.
Places to stay from $107 a night
Oud Metha
4 miles from downtown
Oud Metha is a large residential area only 10 minutes from Dubai International Airport. The designers of Wafi City and Raffles Hotel took some inspiration from ancient Egypt when designing the buildings at this shopping, dining and entertainment complex, which are shaped like pyramids. Recover from retail therapy with a day wandering in Wonderland Theme and Water Park.
Places to stay from $27 a night
Al Karama
3.8 miles from downtown
Ay caramba! Al Karama does a roaring trade in replica goods. Burrow through its bustling backstreets and “secret rooms” to peruse endless arrays of “Prada” handbags, “Rolex” watches and “Gucci” shoes. When it comes to food, the neighbourhood is 100% genuine. Pop into Pakistani restaurant Ravi to savour spicy Biryani chicken and sweet lassi yoghurt.
Places to stay from $35 a night
Dubai Marina
11.5 miles from downtown
Dubai Marina is on track to become the world’s largest man-made marina, with construction to be completed in the next few years. It’s a luxury waterfront destination with high-end commercial and residential buildings, including Cayan Tower, the world’s tallest high-rise building with the famous 90-degree twist, and Marina Mall.
Places to stay from $20 a night
Home to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, Dubai is synonymous with soaring skyscrapers that rise beautifully above sunny beaches and desert panoramas. The hallmark of this city is its diversity of attractions coupled with an abundance of opportunities to experience Arabian hospitality.
You can expect to have a packed schedule of things to do when visiting this modern Arabian city, from theme parks to desert safaris. One of the standout city landmarks is the Burj Al Arab, a sail-shaped structure set against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. A short drive away is Downtown Dubai, home to Dubai Fountain – a visually exciting spectacle of illuminated water jets dancing to music. Thrill seekers can even experience adrenaline-pumping action at Skydive Dubai, Deep Dive Dubai and Dubai Parks and Resorts.
No trip to Dubai is complete without a shopping spree at its glitzy malls and traditional souks, or marketplaces. The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence, an open-air promenade, comes alive during the winter months while Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall offer year-round opportunities to shop for luxury goods. For local souvenirs, hop over to Spice Souk, Perfume Souk or Gold Souk.
Dubai's sun-drenched coastline – stretching from Jebel Ali to Al Mamzar – is dotted with numerous public beaches, offering everything from energising water sports to tranquil swimming spots. Kite surfers and paddleboarding enthusiasts can head to Kite Beach, while sunbathers can relax at Sunset Beach.
Dubai is served by two airports, Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport, the former being one of the busiest airports in the world.

Dubai is well known for its tourist attractions, You should come and see it person. -Fountains and Burj Khalifa light show is something outstanding -Drone show and fireworks in JBR -Have a walk on Kite beach Promenade or from Blue Waters to Marina, Avoid expensive restaurants in DownTown, read TimeOut Dubai before you get anywhere. Get your own car (rent it in the Airport) and see hidden gems yourself

We could call this city as a Fantasy world or a Fasinating city. It was just like a dreamland, Dubai has it all. Mega skyscrappers were just like standing stunning next to each other in the City make it looks like a Mega modern city. I was touched by the tag line, "from the Earth to the Sky" it was need to true, you will experince the 360 view from the worlds tallest building Burj Kalifa. Once in life time, one should visit Dubai.
The hop on hop off big red bus if a must.
February 6, 2023
The hop on hop off big red bus if a must. Light and fountain show at the Burj Khalife in the evening. Did not like cost of going to the mall to the aquarium, so did not go, also because we did not have time.

I’ve been blessed to have seen great cities like NY, Paris, Rome,Istanbul, and many more. But Dubai topped them all hands down. I think I have a new favorite destination now. Who would not enjoy great food, safe city, pick of adventures and fun, easy public transport, modern facilities, easy access, and much more?
Except the service of the hotel staff nothing else I liked.
February 5, 2023
Except the service of the hotel staff nothing else I liked. It was a very bad selection, very bad experience. Night temperature was 15/16c with no heating arrangement. A very small round shaped wash basin was placed in such height that myself, being a man of average height (5' 8") felt necessity of a step ladder to use it comfortably, I do no know who the designer was.
