About Dubai

Dubai is more than skyscrapers. In a single day you can go up the Burj Khalifa, cross the creek on a wooden abra and end the evening on the beach.

Downtown

The Burj Khalifa with its observation decks, Dubai Mall and the evening fountain show. Nearby is the Museum of the Future, one of the city's most unusual buildings.

Old Dubai

The Al Fahidi quarter with wind towers and museums, an abra crossing over Dubai Creek for a token fare, and the Gold and Spice Souks on the other bank.

Sea and evenings

Jumeirah beaches, Dubai Marina and JBR — waterfronts, restaurants and bars. For art, Alserkal Avenue in Al Quoz is a gallery district in former warehouses.

When to go

November to March is most comfortable: summers are hot and life moves indoors. Desert trips and restaurants are in Places and Events.
