Vacation in Dubai

If you spend your vacation in Dubai, you will quickly notice the incredible abundance of skyscrapers, shopping malls, hotels or artificial islands. In hardly any other metropolis in the world the cityscape changes so rapidly as in Dubai. Every year, the number of sights in Dubai grows, the city of superlatives regularly outbids itself with spectacular hotels, magnificent buildings and new highlights that are getting bigger, higher and fancier. Nevertheless, there are also the "classic" tourist destinations that you should not miss. And what would a Dubai trip be without the famous Dubai weather: Discover with us the city full of possibilities!

The first steps in Dubai always start at the airport. The large airport is not only a major aviation hub, but also a popular shopping and leisure mile - not only for passengers. After only six hours of flight time, you won't have any problems with the time difference in the Arabian metropolis, in Dubai the time is only three or only two hours (during German summer time) behind. As soon as you leave the airport terminal, you will immediately feel the warmth and heat in the city. The weather in Dubai is guaranteed to give you sunny days, but from mid-May to October it becomes rather unbearably hot.


If you want to get to know Dubai from its traditional side, you will find the city's lifeline at Dubai Creek. The natural inlet is a hive of activity, especially in the souks east of the creek in the district of Deira, where people haggle and trade. This should be practiced, because you can save many Dirham - the national currency in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai. The district of Bur Dubai, south of the waterway, is best known for its historic Bastakiya district. There is the Al Fahidi Fort, which houses the Dubai Museum. Also worth seeing is the Heritage and Dining Village with impressive evidence of days gone by and authentic cuisine. The transition from the old town to the modern, skyscraper-influenced new town is marked by Zabeel Park with the brand-new building The Frame, which offers magnificent views on both sides of the city. South of the park, on Sheikh Zayed Road, begins the business district with countless skyscrapers all the way to Downtown Dubai with the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. There, the spectacular water games at the Dubai Fountain take place daily and the huge shopping center - the Dubai Mall - invites here to a shopping frenzy.

A little further north, directly on the coast, you can admire what is probably Dubai's most beautiful mosque, the Jumeirah Mosque. Another landmark of the metropolis is the luxurious hotel Burj Al Arab, which was built not far from the mainland on an artificial island. The adjacent "city within the city" - the Madinat Jumeirah - attracts visitors from all over the world because of its paradisiacal hotel and water landscape. A special attraction is The Palm Jumeirah, a huge man-made island in the shape of a palm tree. From there you can enjoy an enchanting view of the newly created marina area, the Dubai Marina. Look forward to breathtaking sightseeing in Dubai. The possibilities of Dubai are so varied and so spectacular that you will not be able to get out of the amazement.
