Things To See & Do In Dubai

Places Of Interest

To get a sense of the city, simply exploring is a good place to start. There’s a definite divide between the old and the new parts of town.

Old Dubai
Head to the creek and its surrounding areas of Deira and Bur Dubai for a flavour of what Dubai used to be like. Souks, narrow side streets, heritage sites, local restaurants and a bustling waterway make this a great part of town to investigate.

New Dubai
In contrast, the mind-boggling modern developments that make up new Dubai – Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah and Marsa Dubai accommodate spectacular buildings, first-class hotels, shopping delights, and more besides.
