Dubai is two cities with a water taxi between them. Around the Creek, Deira and Bur Dubai keep the gold and spice souks, wind-tower houses and small wooden abras that cross for a coin. Downtown, thirty minutes away, stacks the tallest tower in the world, a fountain lake and shopping malls that work as air-conditioned shortcuts between blocks.
From May to September the heat makes midday walking hard, so play early, late or in the cooler months. Modest clothing is expected in the souks and near mosques. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
