Places to Visit

Al Fahidi Fort and Dubai Museum: The Fort was built 1878 in the center of Old Dubai to protect the seaport. Now it houses the Dubai Museum, where you can see traditional boats, a collection of weapons and a wind tower which served in town as air condition. East of Al Fahidi Fort you find the largest concentration of traditional courtyard houses within wind towers.


Dubai City Center: The leading shopping, entertainment and leisure complex is the Dubai City Center, also known as Deira City Center. This is only one of Dubai's numerous malls, where to find all products your heart desires. If you like more the traditional style stroll through the spice, gold or perfume suq on the Deira side of the creek.



Dubai Creek: The bay in the middle of the city is called Dubai Creek. Here you can watch the traditional Arab dhows, abras (boat taxis) and yachts and walk along the creek. Or you enjoy a boat ride to view Dubai's spectacular skyline and to pass by Dubai's old and modern architecture.





Hatta Rock Pools: If you drive 1.5 hour from Dubai City in the eastern direction you reach Hatta, located in the Hajar Mountains. The climate is here more cool and the Hatta Rock Pools with its bursting waterfalls invite you for swimming and enjoying the landscape.




Heritage and Diving Village: Here you can experience life and culture in Dubai before the oil discovery. You see the every day life of fishermen and pearl divers, traditional life of Bedouins, traditional arts and crafts and show cookings, a good opportunity to taste traditional food.





Jumeirah Mosque: The largest and most beautiful mosque in Dubai is the Jumeirah Mosque. It is a example of modern Islamic architecture, built in medieval Fatimid tradition, and allows Non-Muslims to go inside. The beauty of the mosque appears especially at night when it is illuminated by light




Tower of Arabs (Burj al-Arab): The luxurious hotel is with 321 meters the tallest hotel in the world. With the shape of a dhow, the traditional sailing vessels, it is Dubai’s most important landmark. Burj Al Arab is a part of The Jumeirah Beach Resort, 17 km south of the city.
