Which areas of Dubai are the most interesting to visit?
Dubai is a city of contrasts, and each of its districts has a special character. Dubai Marina is a modern oasis with skyscrapers, yachts and a promenade ideal for evening walks. Here I felt like I was in the center of a cosmopolitan world where cultures and languages meet. Deira is the opposite of Marina, an old shopping district with narrow streets and markets. Wandering through the gold market, I was amazed at the brilliance and abundance of jewelry, and at the spice market, the aromas of cinnamon, saffron and cardamom turned my head. Al Fahidi is a historic district with traditional architecture, where you can feel the spirit of old Dubai. Walking through its quiet streets, I found art galleries, museums and cozy courtyards with fountains.

Go to question pageDesert safari is one of those adventures that you cannot miss in Dubai. I chose the evening safari to see the sunset over the dunes. In a powerful SUV, we raced over the sandy hills, experiencing the thrill of steep descents and ascents. The experienced driver skillfully maneuvered, and I couldn't help but let out excited exclamations. After the exhilarating ride, we stopped at a Bedouin camp. Here, you could try sandboarding, ride a camel, or get a henna tattoo. Dinner under the stars with local cuisine, belly dancing, and traditional music created an unforgettable atmosphere. The desert at night is a special place where silence and the starry sky make you ponder the eternal.

I bought a ticket for sunset to see the city transform into evening lights. The cabins are spacious, with panoramic windows and comfortable seating. In one rotation, which takes about 38 minutes, I was able to take in all the key attractions: Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Marina. It’s not just an attraction; it’s a true engineering marvel, symbolizing Dubai's ambitions and aspirations for new heights.
