Is Dubai Worth Visiting? 21 Reasons To Visit Dubai

It is a major airport hub

Many flights from Europe to Southeast Asia stop in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (I stopped in Doha on my way to Indonesia), which makes traveling to Dubai very easy.

If you’re traveling between continents, it might be worth it to try to plan a few-day layover in Dubai. It’s not hard to find paths going between major cities in Europe and Dubai, and the same is true for Asia.

And considering Dubai is the busiest airport in the world for international flights, you won’t be the only one. While the fast-paced concrete jungle is definitely worth a visit all on its own, you can always try to map out a few action-packed days in Dubai if you’re passing by.

The city itself will surely keep you entertained, and the airport won’t disappoint either. Dubai Airport has so many fun things, like Candylicious World for your sweet teeth and green spaces spread out throughout the airport for relaxation. It’s also very clean, organized, and efficient for an international hub.

It is rapidly changing

Did you know Dubai was once a small fishing village, and it now almost always makes the list of the smartest cities in the world?

It’s come a long way over the years, and this rapid growth and development isn’t slowing down. At any moment, a new skyscraper is being built and the skyline is always taking a new shape.

Consider going on a walk (or a drive) along Sheikh Zayed Road, the main street cutting through Downtown Dubai, to admire the many high-rise modern buildings.

This is where you will also find the Dubai World Trade Tower, whose observation deck is a cheaper alternative to Burj Khalifa. Another attraction there is the Gold and Diamond Park – pretty much a mall for jewelry.

But the best thing about Dubai is that it’s constantly changing and morphing with further technological advancements. It’s a completely different city than it was 20 years ago, and I’m sure it will be an entirely new city in another 20 years.

You can get impressive views of the city

A city with so many skyscrapers is bound to gratify you with stunning views. The latest addition to the city’s already impressive skyline is Dubai Frame, a stunning frame located in Zabeel Park that was first opened in 2018.

Dubai Frame is 150 meters (492 feet) high, and from there, you will be able to enjoy a 360-degree view spanning from the Arabian Gulf to the sand dunes of the Arabian desert all the way to Dubai Marina. You will also find a 93-meter (305-foot) long glass bridge with a 25-square-meter glass panel connecting the two towers.

The Dubai Frame is truly a must-see when you visit Dubai. If you’re looking for an organized tour, I recommend Dubai: Frame Tickets, Creek, Souks, & Blue Mosque Guided Tour. It’s an exciting guided tour that includes some of the best tourist destinations in Dubai, including the Dubai Frame. It’s great if you’re short on time and want to catch some of the main Dubai highlights.

It’s incredibly diverse

Dubai is an incredible, diverse destination. In fact, it’s estimated that only 15% of the population are native residents, and the rest are expatriates and immigrants. It’s a true melting pot, bringing in cultures from all over the world.

Technically, Arabic is the official language of Dubai. But English is widely spoken, and you might hear hundreds of other languages while walking the street.

Dubai is not only a central hub for travel but also one of the biggest business hubs in the region. Of all the UAEs, Dubai is a huge melting pot, with cultures mixing to give it a special international flavor.

If you like to travel to experience different cultures, you must visit Dubai to truly experience the vast diversity and people from all over the globe.

The food is delicious

Speaking of flavors, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Dubai cuisine is out of this world. You can find whatever kind of food you may desire is available in Dubai—Lebanese, Indian, French… you name it!

There’s a lot of street food to be found on Al Dhiyafah Road, which means that it is not nearly as expensive as you may imagine – though if you want to indulge in an expensive five-star restaurant, you surely won’t have trouble finding one to suit your appetite.

Should you decide to visit Dubai, make sure to also book a food tour—it’s not expensive at all, and it’s one of the best ways to find some of the best restaurants in the city.

If you’re looking for great street food, I recommend this Dubai: Half-Day Street Food Tour. The four-hour tour includes some of the best Indian street food cuisines, Lebanese food, a brief market tour, and so much more.

If you’re looking for a memorable meal, I recommend Breakfast and Sunrise at Burj Khalifa. The breakfast itself is very simple (usually just a pastry and a coffee/tea), but you’ll also be treated to a breathtaking sunrise on Floor 124 of Burj Khalifa overlooking the city.

For a local find, you may want to try the restaurant Tent Jumeirah, on 31A St Umm Suqeim 2. It has the best Emirati atmosphere right on the beach in Dubai.

It’s a sand extravaganza

Among the coolest places to visit in Dubai and the Emirates are the desert dunes. Walking and exploring a desert of sand dunes feels like you’re stepping onto another planet entirely.

And the sand dunes are much larger than you’d ever imagine. For example, the Big Red Sand Dune, which is about 50 km (31 miles) from Dubai, is over 300 feet high.

The sand dunes are also one of the best places for adventure. Dune bashing has become one of the most popular adventure activities in Dubai. It entails an expert driver driving up and down the sand dunes at varying speeds.

One of the best ways to visit the sand dunes is with a desert safari. For most safaris, you ride buggies, although some also offer camel rides through the dunes. If you decide to ride camels, make sure you go with a 100% ethical organization that properly cares for and treats the camels right.

You can also drink mint tea in the desert, enjoy a belly dancing show, go sandboarding, and even get a henna painting. There are so many unique ways to explore the fascinating sand dunes around the city. They’ll surely be one of your favorite day trips when you visit Dubai.

You should definitely consider booking a Desert Safari from Dubai that includes a quad bike experience, Arabic meals, and other fun activities.

I highly recommend this Dubai: Red Dunes with Camel Ride, Sandboarding & BBQ Option. This is one of the most popular guided tours in Dubai, and it doesn’t disappoint. You’ll sandboard straight down a dune, ride a camel, and have a delicious lunch in the Lahbab Desert.

But the beaches are also great

I know a good beach or two – I am from Sardinia, after all. 

Did you know that some of the best places to visit in Dubai are actually beaches? Jumeirah Beach (Nessnass Beach) is one of the most popular sunbathing spots, and it is more than your regular beach.

You can also go parasailing there to enjoy a spectacular view of Dubai and the man-made Palm Islands. Up to three people can go on the same parasail, which is even more fun if you’re with friends.

Sunset Beach (Umm Suqeim Beach) is a quieter spot with long stretches of soft sand and, you guessed it, great sunsets over the Arabian Gulf. Kite Beach is another popular spot for kite surfing. The beach itself is beautiful, but there are also some excellent beachy cafes and street vendors lined up along the coast.

For some fast-paced adventure, I recommend this Dubai: Jetski Tour to Burj Al Arab and Atlantic. It’s a really exciting way to explore the Arabian Gulf and enjoy the views around the city.

The Yellow Boat Tours are also really popular and one of the best things to do in Dubai for photographs and views from the water. The little yellow boat takes small groups around the coast of Dubai, stopping for pictures in front of the most iconic Dubai monuments.

For a taste of luxury, I recommend this Dubai Marina: Yacht Tour with Breakfast or BBQ. While it’s a shared tour, it’s a really fun experience out on the water, with a good lunch and sightseeing opportunities for your Dubai visit.

 As you can see, there are endless options for exploring the Gulf around Dubai. Try not to get overwhelmed, because you won’t be disappointed no matter which you choose. They all offer something unique and a mesmerizing view of the city from the water.

It’s one of the safest cities in the Middle East for tourists

Dubai is also an incredibly safe destination for most international tourists. There are relatively low crime instances, including low robbery rates, scams, violent crime, and corruption.

If you compare Dubai’s crime rate to London’s, for example, Dubai unanimously ranks significantly safer than London in every measured category.

That’s not to say crime in Dubai is completely nonexistent or that there aren’t any other problems, but it’s much better than many of its neighbors and arguably many of the other major international hubs around the world.

It’s home to the best shopping

Whether you are a shopaholic or not, if you visit Dubai, you can enjoy endless shopping opportunities—much like the rest of the Middle East.

Dubai Mall is one of the best places to visit in Dubai. It serves as the entrance to the Dubai Aquarium and Burj Khalifa.

There is also an ice skating rink, the famous Dubai Fountain, a movie theater, a kid’s play zone, and so much more. And if that isn’t enough, it’s a great place for eating as it is packed with restaurants. It even holds the month-long Dubai Shopping Festival each year in January and February.

But there’s more to it: next to the luxury brands of Dubai Mall, Dubai has plenty of souks (a marketplace in an Arab or African country) where it is possible to buy at more than reasonable prices.

You can go to Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa is the city’s symbol and one of the most famous places to visit in Dubai. The Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the world, 828 meters (2,715 feet) high and over 160 stories. There’s an observation deck on Floor 124, where you can get some of the best city views.

There’s no bad time to visit Burg Khalifa for the views. Sunrise offers unforgettable, peaceful views overlooking the city while people wake up and begin their days. The daytime is the best time to admire the city landscapes and beyond. And the evening and night hours are perfect for photographers trying to capture the glistening city lights.

To make planning easier, you can purchase your Burj Khalifa Level 124 and 125 Entry Ticket in advance. The ticket includes a ride in the speedy elevator, 1.5 hours to explore, and even use the telescopes.

The surroundings on the ground level are interesting too. The gardens feature the Dubai Fountain, which is a performing fountain known to be the tallest in the world. The performance show features a shocking 6,000 lights and over 22,000 gallons of airborne water.

Anyone at the Dubai Fountain can view the show, but I highly recommend the Burj Khalifa Fountain Show and Burj Lake Ride. You’ll get in an abra (water taxi) for the show and watch the magic from the water for 30 minutes.

Ski Dubai will blow your mind

Dubai rarely drops below 15°C (60°F), so you might be surprised that one of the coolest (literally!) places to visit in Dubai is Ski Dubai, where you can spend all day skiing or snowboarding on artificial snow in an indoor ski arena.

The space features a 22,500-square-meter indoor ski area with 6,000 tonnes of snow (about 30-40 tonnes of snow made fresh every night). It’s definitely not one of the best ski mountains in the world, as it’s not a real mountain, and there isn’t real snow, but it’s such a unique and exciting experience overall.

If you get tired of skiing or snowboarding, there are many other things to do here, too. There’s a large snow park, plenty of cafes, and a penguin encounter.

I recommend this 2-hour or Full-Day Slope Session at Ski Dubai group tour for your day at Ski Dubai. The tour includes all entrance fees, ski equipment, winter equipment for the cold arena, and a locker rental. You can request ski or snowboard lessons with a professional instructor if you’re new to the snowy sport.

Bastakia (Old Dubai) will bring you back in time

Bastakia Quarter (also known as Al-Fahidi, and sometimes spelled Bastakiya) is one of the best places to visit in Dubai. Known as Old Dubai, it is in the eastern part of Bur Dubai and was built in the late 19th century.

The area was meant to be the home of wealthy Persian merchants (indeed, the buildings follow the typical architectural style of Iranian coastal houses) who enjoyed tax-free trading. It is located near the creek.

The area’s buildings are beautifully preserved. Wind towers, which were adjoined to homes, provided some form of cooling system, trapping the wind and funneling it down into the houses.

Don’t miss Majlis Gallery, also located in Bastakia, which has a great collection of traditional Arab ceramics and furniture (all kept in a wind tower), and the XVA Gallery, a contemporary art collection. Also, go to the Al Serkal Cultural Foundation, a nice place in a historic building in Bur Dubai, where you will find more art exhibitions.

Dubai Creek is truly lovely

Dubai Creek marks the border between Deira, to the north, and Bur Dubai, to the south. It is one of the nicest places to visit in Dubai. The creek is actually the reason people started living in the area, as they could go fishing or pearl diving.

It’s located north of Al-Maktoum Bridge; one of the best attractions is the Dhow Wharfage, where you can spot some beautiful dhows (traditional boats) that are more than 100 years old.

Along Dubai Creek, on the Bur Dubai side, you will also find the Al Seef district – a lovely area with beautifully kept buildings, shopping opportunities, and a floating market. You can get there by dhow or by abra (a boat taxi).

On the northern banks of Dubai Creek, Deira is the most multi-cultural part of the city, where expats live, and home of the famous souk. The Gold Souk of Deira is the world’s largest gold bazaar. The spice souk is a perfect place to wander around for hours.

You can go on a cruise on one of the restored dhows that are currently used for tourist purposes. It’s a great way to get beautiful views of the city and even have dinner.

I recommend this Dubai Marina Alexandra Dhow Cruise with Dinner and Drinks if you’re looking for a fun experience on the water. The traditional Arabic boat has been renovated and now functions as a floating restaurant with good views, food, and even entertainment throughout.

You can visit the exact copy of a mosque in Cairo

Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most well-known Mosques in Dubai. Many argue it’s also one of the most beautiful pieces of art and culture.

Interestingly, the Jumeirah Mosque was built to be identical—but on a smaller scale—to the Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo. So, if you’ve dreamed of visiting the mosques in Cairo but can’t make time just yet, you’re in luck.

This mosque follows the Fatimid tradition in its style. Common characteristics of this style include portals that emerge from the walls, intricate domes in front of entryways and throughout, and impressive columns, archways, and ornamentation.

The mosque here is also a great place to learn more about the religion and culture, and there are many interactive activities. The museums offer tours on specific days of the week, a Heritage Express trolley that goes to significant nearby cultural spots, and the Once Upon a Time Museum.

Check the Jumeirah Mosque website before your visit to double-check the public hours, opening hours, and other events so you don’t miss anything.

Try scuba diving in the world’s deepest swimming pool

Deep Dive Dubai, which opened in 2021, is the world’s deepest swimming pool and an absolute adventure for scuba divers.

The pool is about 60 meters deep and contains over 14 million liters of fresh water (that’s about six Olympic-sized swimming pools). It is designed to resemble a sunken city, so there are submerged apartment complexes, streets, cars and motorcycles, lampposts, and other unique features. You’d have to dive in several times to see it all.

And while Deep Dive Dubai has become a household destination for scuba divers, it also calls to freedivers and snorkelers alike.

Deep Dive Dubai is also an amazing spot for those who want to try scuba for the first time. I recommend this Discover Scuba Dive for Beginners at Deep Dive for first-time divers. You don’t need a certificate because you’ll train, practice, and dive right next to your instructor in Deep Dive.

Dive or visit the Dubai Aquarium

Before Deep Dive Dubai, there was only the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. But because the latter offers a unique experience and is different from Deep Dive Dubai in many ways, it’s still worth visiting.

Dubai Aquarium offers diving in some of the exhibits, as well as a more traditional aquarium visit.

The aquarium is literally an underwater zoo with walk-through tunnels, perfect for admiring the various species of marine life. And if diving and breathtaking walkways aren’t enough, you can even take a glass-bottom boat ride through one of the tanks. How cool is this way of exploring this underwater zoo?

You can expect to see over 400 sharks and rays, otters, penguins, king crocodiles, and so much more.

I recommend this Dubai: Aquarium & Burj Khalifa Level 124, 125 Ticket Combo if you want to knock out two birds with one stone. The Dubai Aquarium is on the ground floor, and the Underwater Zoo is on the second floor of the Dubai Mall, which is right next to Burj Khalifa. So, it’s very easy to visit both in one day.

And go for a walk around Dubai Miracle Garden

Another must-visit in Dubai is Dubai Miracle Garden, located in Dubailand (a well-known entertainment complex in Dubai).

This is the world’s largest flower garden, measuring a whopping 2,000 square meters. It has over 150 million flowers of different variations and plenty of flower sculptures. There are beautiful walkways winding through rows of flower sculptures, buildings and cottages covered in flowers, and so much more.

It’s a fantastic burst of colors, perfect for a late afternoon stroll. However, it’s important to note that it’s semi-seasonal, as flowers struggle to blossom during blistering summer months. As of now, it’s open from the end of September through April, but you can check out their website for more up-to-date hours.

I highly recommend this Flora and Fauna 4-Hour Tour if you want to make the most of your visit. The tours include roundtrip transportation to the gardens, entrance to the Butterfly Garden and Miracle Garden, and a guide who’ll explain more about the flora and the garden’s philosophy.

You can get your adrenaline fix at Aquaventure Waterpark

Visiting Atlantic Aquaventure Waterpark is one of the most fun things to do in Dubai. This is a world-class waterpark where you can get your adrenaline going. It’s located on Palm Jumeirah Island. There’s even a lovely private beach there.

You can purchase your Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark Admission Ticket in advance to make your trip smooth sailing while you visit Dubai. The day ticket includes access to all attractions and rides, the private beach area, and public entertainment events.

Another incredible theme park is IMG Worlds of Adventure – a great place for both adults and children located in Global Village.

Motiongate is a theme park for Hollywood productions, whereas Bollywood Parks is a similar theme park but obviously focused on Indian cinema. Other theme parks are Legoland Dubai and Legoland Waterpark. Most of them are located in Dubai Parks and Resorts, next to Riverland Dubai.

As you can see, there are so many fun theme and adventure parks around Dubai. You can easily spend your entire vacation hopping around different parks. But maybe, it’s best to pick one of your favorites and leave time for some other exciting Dubai activities.

Dubai Opera will keep you cultured

A common misconception about the Emirates is that they attract a less-than-sophisticated, money-spending crowd that has little interest in cultural activities. However, this is only a misconception. There are so many great cultural activities.

Places like Dubai Opera, which opened in 2016 in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai, are perfect for a night out. You can enjoy all sorts of concerts, operas, and ballets.

The theater can host up to 2,000 spectators and has quickly become one of the most popular tourist attractions in town. It is also a beautiful work of art with a unique architectural design. It transports you right to the performance, whether it’s a classic Phantom of the Opera showing or a classical masterpiece.

As well as the Dubai Museum

Located in Al Fahidi Fort, which was built in 1787 to protect Dubai Creek and last restored in 1995, Dubai Museum is the city’s most well-known museum and one of its most popular tourist attractions.

Its exhibits include old maps of the area, weapons, local musical instruments, and other artifacts that will give you a bit more insight into Emirati life. Some of them come all the way from the Al Qusais archeological site. 

What’s interesting about this museum is that for a long time, the building was used as the residence of the local governors, the seat of the government, and a prison. 

If you love art, head straight to Alserkal Avenue in the old Al Quoz industrial district. There, you will find some of the best art galleries, such as The Third Line and Ayyam Gallery. The area is also known for its local designer boutiques, pop-up restaurants, and, in general, a very welcoming, young vibe.

It’s easy to move around

If you’re worried about getting to all of these amazing Dubai activities, don’t fret. This is an incredibly easy city to get around.

You can travel by taxi, but if you are looking for something more budget-friendly, you can count on the many efficient buses—which, by the way, are all air-conditioned. You can also go around by bike, train/metro, and boat.

The Dubai Metro began operations in 2009 and has since broken all types of records, including the largest automated railway system in the world. And it’s only improving as the years go on.

Finally, consider splurging on a hop-on, hop-off bus pass to easily reach all the main attractions in town. This pass focuses on tourist attractions and destinations, making navigating easier, faster, and even more affordable.

If you’re interested in the hop-on, hop-off bus tour, I recommend this Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. There are two main routes with over 10 stops on each. You can also opt for an audio guide for more information about the sights and sounds as you go.

The Dubai Pass is one of the many ways to save money

Dubai is not a cheap city, to nobody’s surprise. But it’s actually much easier to save money than you might think. There are a lot of different tricks and tips that can help you stay within budget while still catching all the main attractions.

The Dubai Pass is one of the best ways to save some money when you visit Dubai and get a ticket for a lot of tourist places. There are a few different types of passes with different numbers of attractions. Depending on which you get, you’ll have access to a handful of the most popular tourist attractions at a discounted price.

For three attraction tickets, the iVenture Card Dubai Select Pass is a good choice. You’re given three pools of different activities and attractions in Dubai, and you can choose one from each pool for a total of three tickets.

If you think you might want something a little more, I recommend the Explorer Pass with Burj Khalifa and Desert Safari. You can choose up to 3, 4, 5, or 7 different things to do in Dubai.

It’s a great base to explore the region

Another reason to visit Dubai is that you can easily use it as a base for day trips to nearby places.

Among the best travel destinations for a day trip from Dubai is Abu Dhabi, another record-breaking destination that you can reach in 90 minutes from Downtown Dubai. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and is home to the newly opened Louvre Museum.

For a comprehensive day trip to Abu Dhabi, I recommend this From Dubai: Abu Dhabi Full-Day Sightseeing Trip in SUV. The tour includes most major attractions, including Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi Heritage Village, and more.

Another must-see is Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which is 132 km from Dubai in Abu Dhabi. Built-in honor of the country’s first president between 1996 and 2007, this beautiful mosque has a whopping 82 domes and is absolutely stunning with its crystal chandeliers and the world’s largest carpet.

If you want an educational and cultural experience in Abu Dhabi from Dubai, I recommend this From Dubai: Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed Mosque Guided Tour. You’ll visit the well-known mosque and learn about Islamic culture and how it has transformed the region.

Remember that even non-Muslim visitors need to be properly dressed to visit the mosque. Cover your shoulders, chest, and legs, and don’t wear anything tight. Women must cover their hair, too.

Other great day trips from Dubai are to the Jumeirah archeological site, which dates back to the 9th century and is located between Jumeirah and Al-Wasl road; Ferrari World, which is also located in Abu Dhabi; and the Musandam Peninsula, which is around 200 km from the city and where you will find mountains as well as incredibly clear waters.

Further Information To Plan Your Trip To Dubai

The best time to visit Dubai

Dubai is hot year-round. The best time to visit is between November and April, and generally during the winter months. January and February are the busiest months because that’s when the Dubai Shopping Festival happens in Dubai Mall. Needless to say, that’s when places in Dubai get the most crowded, with hotel rates and airfares skyrocketing.

In terms of weather, winter is the best time to travel to Dubai because it is a bit cooler, and hence, outdoor activities are possible.

The months from April to October are definitely not recommended for travel. That’s when temperatures start rising, going well beyond 40°C (104°F). The weather tends to be really hot, and worse, it is so humid that outdoor activities are impossible.

Where to stay in Dubai

Dubai, a famous destination, has no shortage of incredible accommodation options, to the point that some argue that it is worth visiting just to experience a fabulous hotel. You can opt to stay in one of Dubai’s super luxury hotels downtown so you can access attractions such as Dubai Fountain and be close to Jumeirah Beach, but there are also cheaper options.

Here is a selection of the best places to stay in Dubai:

The sail-shaped Burj Al Arab is an incredible seven-star hotel. This over-the-top luxury hotel is located on its own man-made island – Palm Jumeirah – so you have easy access to the beach, but you’ll have to take a taxi to reach other attractions. All rooms have ocean views. And if this is not enough, there is the Skyview Bar at 200 meters (656 feet) above sea level, on the 27th floor.

For as expensive as Burj Al Arab is, other places are actually quite cheap. Rove City Centre is a budget-friendly hotel, as is the rest of the Rove chain. At the same time it is incredibly stylish, in line with the rest of the city.

Ibis Al Rigga is an incredibly budget-friendly option. It is close to the metro station, not far from the International Airport, and features plain but modern and comfortable rooms.

Another option is to stay in a high-end holiday home or apartment instead of a hotel, even better if it has a penthouse. Dream Inn Dubai may seem pricey, but the place is so big that it fits an entire group, and the costs can be easily shared. It’s a few minutes walk to Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall. It’s not a bad option if you visit Dubai with friends.

There are so many other amazing places to stay in Dubai for all budgets and types of travelers; you shouldn’t have a hard time finding the perfect base.

Why Should You Visit Dubai?

If you tell someone you’re traveling to the UAE, some people might ask, why visit Dubai? After all, it’s not known as a massive cultural hub for its food or entertainment or for much else other than being a central point between Europe and Asia and as an international city.

However, that’s very misleading because there are so many great reasons why you should visit Dubai.

There are endless activities, massive skyscrapers with great views, and surprisingly nice beaches. and lots of water sports, local markets bustling with life and delicious smells, deserts and sand dunes, and so much more.

It’s an easy stopover or layover, and it’s also a city full of adventure and traditional Dubai activities.
