What to See: From the Sky to the Desert

Palm Jumeirah & Burj Al Arab: Drive your h-lead car to the famous palm-shaped artificial island. Admire the luxury resorts and take souvenir photos against the backdrop of the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel, shaped like a sail.
Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood & Dubai Creek: Leave the futuristic side of the city for a while and walk through the labyrinthine alleys of the Old Town. Cross the Creek on a traditional wooden boat (abra) and explore the famous spice and gold souks.
Desert Safari: Just a few kilometers away from the skyscrapers, the vast golden sand dunes offer an authentic Bedouin experience you shouldn’t miss.
What to Eat & Drink: Authentic Arabian Flavors
Dubai’s culinary scene is world-class, but the local traditional flavors will transport you:
Machboos: The national dish of the Emirates. It consists of fragrant rice cooked with meat (lamb or chicken) or fish, seasoned with loomi (dried black lemon) and local spices.
Luqaimat: The region’s favorite dessert. Similar to dumplings, they are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and drizzled with rich, sticky date syrup.
Arabic Coffee (Gahwa): A symbol of Arabian hospitality. It is served in small cups, often flavored with cardamom and saffron, without sugar, but always accompanied by fresh, sweet dates.
Karak Chai: A sweet, aromatic black tea with milk and spices, which locals love to drink throughout the day.
Local Culture, Customs & Traditions
Despite its international character, Dubai proudly maintains its roots:
The Concept of “Majlis”: Originating from Bedouin traditions, the Majlis is the central gathering and reception area for guests. It symbolizes supreme hospitality, mutual respect, and unity.
Local Attire: You will encounter local men wearing the all-white Kandura and women wearing the elegant black Abaya. Although tourists are free to wear western clothes, it is recommended to respect local customs by dressing modestly in public places (e.g., covering shoulders and knees).
Respect for Islam and Ramadan: If you visit Dubai during the Holy Month of Ramadan, you will experience the city with a more spiritual atmosphere. It is important to respect those who are fasting by avoiding eating and drinking in outdoor public areas during the day.
