Dubai —
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.
