Dubai, a city of striking contrasts, harmonises cutting-edge modernity with echoes of its humble beginnings along Dubai Creek. Founded in 1833 by the Bani Yas tribe, the city has grown into a global icon, known for its towering skyscrapers, world-class shopping, and lavish hospitality. Beneath its glitz lies a story of resilience and transformation.

Must-sees:

• Al Bastakiya Quarter: Step back in time with its preserved Arab architecture, art galleries, and the Bastakiya Museum.
• Burj Khalifa: Ascend the world’s tallest building for sweeping city views.
• Dubai Mall: A retail haven, complete with an aquarium, theme park, and Diplodocus fossil.

Culinary culture:

Dubai’s food scene celebrates its diverse influences. Traditional Emirati dishes such as machboos, a fragrant spiced rice dish, or luqaimat, sweet dumplings drizzled with date syrup, reflect the city’s heritage. Meanwhile, its multicultural population has fostered an array of global cuisines. For an authentic taste, visit a local souk to sample shawarma or freshly grilled seafood.

Dive deeper:

For an enriching contrast to Dubai’s urban glamour, explore the historic Dubai Creek, where traditional abras (water taxis) ferry visitors across the water. Visit the Gold Souk and Spice Souk to glimpse the city’s trading roots, or take a guided desert safari to learn about Bedouin traditions and stargaze under a clear Arabian sky.

Good to know:

The UAE dirham is the local currency, and the ideal time to visit is from November to March for pleasant weather. Public transport is efficient, though taxis are a popular and convenient choice. Modesty in dress is appreciated in cultural and historical areas, aligning with local customs.

At the centre of the Maldives’ island chain, Kaafu Atoll (home to North Malé, South Malé, and the smaller Gaafaru Atoll) is the country’s vibrant core, where luxury, local life, and world-class diving coexist in perfect harmony. Just a short speedboat ride from Malé, it’s the most accessible atoll, yet still offers countless pockets of pristine tranquillity.

Must-sees / Must-do:

• Sandbank escapes: Glide across turquoise waters to untouched sandbanks where you can swim, snorkel, or simply bask in pure solitude.
• Banana Reef: One of the Maldives’ oldest and most famous dive sites, featuring dramatic overhangs, soft corals, and schools of bannerfish.
• Vadoo Channel: A spectacular drift dive for experienced divers, teeming with grey reef sharks and eagle rays.

Culinary culture:

Kaafu Atoll’s dining scene blends the Maldives’ coastal flavours with global sophistication. Savour mas huni (tuna with coconut and chilli) at a local café, or dine underwater at high-end restaurants surrounded by marine life. Fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and coconut-infused dishes dominate every menu, from beach grills to fine-dining resorts.

Dive deeper:

Experience island-hopping by speedboat, explore coral reefs alive with colour, or indulge in spa rituals over the lagoon. Surf the famous waves of Chickens or Jailbreaks, then toast the sunset from an overwater bar as the sky ignites in gold and crimson.

Good to know:

Kaafu Atoll is easily reached by speedboat from Malé International Airport, making it ideal for short stays or a first Maldives experience. Despite its accessibility, many of its private islands remain blissfully secluded, offering the best of both worlds: vibrant energy and serene escape.
