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.

Seenu Atoll is unlike any other atoll in the Maldives. Located at the very southern tip of the archipelago, it boasts a heart-shaped formation, a unique chain of inhabited islands connected by causeways, and a fascinating blend of British colonial history, lush tropical scenery, and thriving marine life. Far from the busier northern atolls, Addu offers an atmosphere that feels both authentically Maldivian and wonderfully untouristed.

 
Must-sees / Must-do:

• Cycle across the causeway linking the islands of Gan, Feydhoo, Maradhoo and Hithadhoo — one of the rare places in the Maldives where you can explore multiple islands by road.
• Snorkel the Addu Manta Point, home to year-round manta encounters thanks to consistently nutrient-rich waters.
• Dive the British Loyalty wreck, a WWII-era tanker resting at 33 metres — the Maldives’ most historically significant and accessible shipwreck.
• Visit Gan Island, once home to a major British Royal Air Force base, where remnants like bunkers and old buildings still stand.
• Discover Koagannu Cemetery, one of the oldest Islamic burial sites in the Maldives.

Culinary culture:

Addu’s cuisine is known for its distinct flavours, particularly Addu bondi (a sweet coconut delicacy) and spicy fish dishes enriched with local chilli varieties. Try freshly baked masroshi or grilled tuna seasoned with curry leaves and served alongside tropical fruit chutneys. Local cafés offer an authentic, laid-back dining experience that differs from resort-style dining in other atolls.

Dive deeper:

The atoll’s southern equatorial location creates a unique marine environment with deeper channels, larger pelagic species, and coral formations differing from the central Maldives. Its culture also stands apart, with strong historical ties to its RAF past and a more urban feel in Hithadhoo, one of the largest towns in the archipelago.

Good to know:

Reach Addu via a domestic flight from Malé to Gan International Airport, the only southern international gateway. This is the ideal atoll for travellers seeking authentic culture, rich history, unparalleled accessibility between islands, and exceptional diving with year-round mantas.
