If you count yourself among those that appreciate the finer things in life, this is the spot for you. Grab a coffee and take a minute to marvel at the view of the vibrant skyline of Dubai, or head over to the Palm Jumeirah nearby to experience the world’s largest man-made island and the luxurious lifestyle of its inhabitants.
No Dubai cultural tour can be considered complete without a visit to the world’s tallest building, which is why this hotspot is included as a photo stop on the Dubai full day tour.
Shopping, dining, and entertainment come together in spectacular fashion at Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping destinations. Whether you’re browsing luxury boutiques, visiting the mesmerising Dubai Aquarium, or simply soaking in the buzz of this vibrant retail paradise, there’s something here for everyone.
Step back in time at Al Fahidi Fort, Dubai’s oldest standing structure and home to the Dubai Museum. Wander through its historic corridors and discover artefacts that tell the story of the city’s transformation from a humble fishing village to a global metropolis.
If glittering treasures catch your eye, the Gold Souk is an absolute must-visit. Stroll through this traditional marketplace and marvel at an endless array of exquisite gold, silver, and precious gemstone jewellery, all offered at some of the most competitive prices in the world.
Follow the enticing aromas of saffron, cinnamon, and cardamom as you explore Dubai’s famous Spice Souk. A feast for the senses, this bustling market offers an authentic taste of the region’s rich culinary heritage, with vendors eager to share their knowledge and best blends.
The heart of old Dubai, Dubai Creek is where tradition meets modernity. Hop aboard an abra, the city’s iconic water taxi, and glide along the historic waterway that once served as the lifeline of Dubai’s thriving trade industry.
With its elegant white façade and intricate Islamic architecture, Jumeirah Mosque is a cultural gem and one of Dubai’s most photographed landmarks. Open to visitors of all faiths, it offers a unique opportunity to learn about Emirati traditions and the beauty of Islamic design.
