About Dubai

Dubai rearranges itself every few years, and somehow the old city keeps its place in it. Wooden abras still cross the creek for a single dirham while the tallest building on earth lays its shadow across a mall the size of a town. Drive an hour inland and the tarmac simply stops, the dunes take over, and by nightfall the desert is quiet enough to hear. Come between November and March, when the heat lifts and the whole city moves outdoors.

What you'll do

The four we'd book first

  1. The view from 124

    Burj Khalifa's observation deck timed for the half hour before sunset, when the Gulf turns copper and the fountains start below.

  2. A night in the dunes

    Dune drive out to a private camp at Al Marmoom, dinner under the stars, and no city glow in any direction.

  3. Across the creek by abra

    The one-dirham wooden ferry from Deira to Bur Dubai, then the gold and spice souks on foot before the crowds.

  4. Dinner on the water

    A chartered dhow through the Marina, or a table at Pierchic with the tide moving under the boards.
