Why go?
Dubai is a modern metropolis backed by sun-baked desert and nestled on the Persian Gulf – there’s no denying that it’s a wonder to behold. But there is much more to this bustling city than its landscape of shimmering glass and skyscrapers. Dubai encapsulates a wealth of exciting activities, cultural dynamism and ancient traditions.
Explore local culture
As with any city, the first day should involve a solid introduction and the best way to get to grips with a new place is walking. Wander through old, narrow Dubai streets, visit the courtyards of traditional Arabic houses and see traditional crafts in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.
Dubai’s souks are legendary, so allow plenty of time to explore these Arab markets. Alternatively, the historic district of Al Fahidi offers a maze of lanes to lose yourself in – the perfect surroundings to peruse the traditional craft shops.
