Dubai Creek

Straddling two main areas of Dubai, Bur Dubai on the one side and Deria on the other side the creek is still the heartbeat of the city. Full of life and small Abra’s zipping across the water… it is must see part of Dubai.

Sheikh Zayed Road

If there was a jugular vein of Dubai then Sheikh Zayed Road is it. Often reduced to the worlds longest traffic jam, set on both sides by cloud piercing Skyscrapers Sheikh Zayed Road is also the ultra chic place to be seen in Dubai.

Burj al Arab

The self acclaimed Seven Star Hotel, comprising 202 duplex suites, this is the place to stay when in Dubai. The Burj Al-Arab is probably one of the most iconic buildings in Dubai, with a beautiful light display taking place at night that lights up the Hotel in various colours.

Palm Jumeirah

The eighth wonder of the world, a Palm shaped man made island standing just off the coast of Dubai is a marvel of modern engineering. The trunk houses luxury apartment buildings, offering residents and visitors direct beach access, a broad selection of beach clubs, restaurants, gymnasiums, spas and a selection of other shops. The Fronds are home to magnificent villas, ranging in style they include Canal Cove homes, Garden and Signature villas, all with the most fabulous doorstep access to private beaches. The crescent runs around the outside of the Palm, and is home to many 5 star, world class hotels and residences, including the Atlantis Hotel that sits in the centre of the crescent, another icon of Dubai.

The Malls

There are many malls in Dubai, but the ones most worthy a visit are: Emirates Mall, complete with it’s own s ‘Ski Dubai’, an indoor ski slope.  Ibn Battuta Mall for it’s themed layout and Dubai Mall the newest and biggest Mall in Dubai with 200 Gold outlets, a gigantic Aquarium, indoor ice skating rink and much more.

Dubai Marina

Once known as ‘home of the cranes’ in Dubai, this now established cosmopolitan area is a lively and bustling community.  This is part of New Dubai and well worth a walk around the Marina to see this city within a city.

Jumeirah Beach

Mingle with the locals and savour the Arabian sea, white sands and deep blue waters. Even if you are not in Dubai for a beach holiday you have to see the beaches and catch a glimpse of the Burj Al-Arab.

The Souks

Whether it be the Gold souks, spice souk or perfume Souk a trip to old Dubai isn’t complete without seeing the way most of Dubai lived before it became global. The souks really remind you where in the world you are in the Middle East, almost a feel of being in Cario (almost).

Jumeirah Mosque

The most photographed building in Dubai for sure, carved in sandstone and from the Fathamid period of Islamic History it is like many things in Dubai lit up at night, creating a must have photo opportunity.

Dubai Museum

This is the place to come to see the way people lived in Dubai before oil was discovered. Whether it be pearl diving or old traditional living standards Dubai Museum will guide you through the history of Dubai.
